I've been thinking of digging out my paladin alt and levelling him for a bit, he's been sitting on lvl 35 for months now. I'm probably going to go with a prot AOE-grind type of spec, mostly because it's something I haven't done before but also so that I can tank in dungeons on the way up, and learn how to pala-tank.
So, the question is, I already have the BOA spellpower mace, Devout Aurastone Hammer, enchanted with +29 Spellpower, and I noticed that it's actually got the same DPS as the BOA sword (Venerable Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge) at my paladin's level. Is it worth me getting the sword as a weapon, or will the Hammer be alright? Do you get much benefit to Consecration from the spellpower bonus? Is there anything else it'll benefit on a low-level prot pally?
Anyway, hope someone can point me in the right direction, I'd rather spend my emblems on trinkets rather than another weapon. Cheers for the help!
