I also posted it in the Raids & Dungeons forum, because it would affect ( to a lesser degree ) other classes/specs. here the link http://www.mmo-champion.com/raids-du...e-itemisation/


I think im not the only one to realise that icc 1h weapon itemisation is kinda messed up at the moment.

im enhancement shaman and my concern is:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50412
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50035
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50184

these are all 1h melee dps weapon choices of 25man content ( daggers and heroic versions excluded )

as i ( shaman ) cannot wield swords, and the axe is fast, im stuck at two fist weapons mainhand/offhand only.

i think it would be nice to change bloodvenom blade to fast, and scourgebourbe waraxe to slow.

impact on different classes:

hunters: none, they use both 1h axes/swords as dps sticks anyway and couldn´t care less about speed
combat-rogues: none really. an axe/swords rogue would wield scourgeborne/bloodvenom instead ofbloodvenom/scourgeborne as a result
unholy dk´s: same as rogue
frost dk´s: they would have to go for scourgeborne 2 times instead of bloodvenom. but both drop from bosses of the first wing and fairly easy to go for. also, it´s still an early stage of time, so it wouldn´t hurt them so much. also, frost dw dps dk´s are pretty rare, whereas enhancement is very common.

enhancement shaman: scourgeborne will become our third desireable 1h weapon from 25 man content ( best looking i might add ) and the first one to be weilded in either hand.

your thoughts?
