I have the clothie set... A lock, mage and priest. Wands have been the most annoying slot to upgrade. This post is not about getting more game play from the wand (although being able to chain a spell, casting it through your wand to improve that spells effect would be cool, even trading off some stats for it would be fine).
I know they are pretty useless and are only a MINOR stat boost. That being said I still hate how long it takes to get a good wand. Having nearly everything on my clothies over item level 232 (pre heroic triumphs) but still having having an i200 wand (sometimes non-epic) was frustrating. I know there were wand drops to aim for however they would either not drop or I would get out-rolled (don't even mention the naxx 25 wand!!! lock ran that 100's of times, mage got it 2nd run!!!). Triump badges fixed the DPS wand with the i245 badge wand, no heal equiv although my disc priest has got this equipped. They are not impossible to get I know but they rely more on dumb luck rather than hard work. My QQ is a little out-dated I know because there are quite a few drops out there now but it WAS frustrating and still is that they cant be crafted.
Then there is enchanting. When I rolled my first chanter (vanilla) I thought awesome I can make wands... then they stopped... and I was like did I miss a recipe or something?!
Why can't enchanting get wands back?
