    No 2H enchants in MoP

    Does this stay as it is, or is it just assumed that the 1H would work on both?

    I would have to look but usually 1h enchants are enchant weapon - XXXNAME and 2 h is enchant 2 hand weapon -YYYNAME, and the 1hand enchant has no restrictions (They're not classified as 1 h weapon enchants, just weapon enchants)

    Just the same as currently live...

    Enchant Weapon can be applied to 1H or 2H.

    Landslide is the go-to enchant for Ret/Arms/Fury/Feral (DPS), all using 2H weapons, but is also used by Rogue/Shaman.

    The last 2H enchant i saw, was the +Spell Power to Staves, from WotLK. There hasn't been a single Enchant 2H Weapon enchant since then, so seems kind of a moot point to even bring up.

    Someone obviously doesn't play a hunter or a feral druid. Or know anything about them. Or have an enchanter.

    Because they broke them down into a general Enchant weapon with:...

    The current agility enchant will be gone since huntards won't use it and the Druid feral one will just work with the melee one.
    He slipped out of his royal garments, left eternity to enter time, divinity to wrap himself in humanity.
    The sea of glass, for the ocean of separation. He left peace, and for the first time felt pain.
    Because the very hands that held the stars were now sentenced to wear my scars.

    Hunter, yeah, fine, I missed it for them. For a Bear Druid, sure, I agree. But would the 130 Agility trump the proc of 1000 AP for a Cat Druid, doubtful. Either way, that enchant itself is another anomaly.

    Hunters no longer use melee weapons period. Druids will be using the same ones the rest of us do for MoP.

    Leveling and replacing weapon soon: http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=104430 (I'd say it might need theory-crafting to see if Enhancement can make better use of this, cause the proc is Fire, Frost, and Nature damage, but I doubt it will break Windsong or Dancing Steel... ever.)

    So basically Staves are going to be useless again for casters, as a 1-hand weapon + offhand will be better 100% of the time due to enchants.

    Glad to see Blizzard really learns from their mistakes. Makes me sad, because I know if the Devs actually played their own game they would realize stuff like this, as people have been complaining about it since the beginning of Cata.

    Oh, I agree on that point, I was just saying as far as your statement (quoted in my post before you edited yours) that no 2h enchants existed in Cata.

    Seems that way, unless staves end up with a MUCH higher stat budget per ilvl than 1h+OH. If that's going to be the case, I really wish they'd make some caster swords, axes, any damn thing but daggers and maces, because I'm sick of looking at daggers and maces.

The Pizza Slicer of Doom from Endtime was actually a very cool thing, it at least allowed me to find a cool axe to mog on my shaman. XD

    And it was done with the orange staff.

    TBH, I actually found that discrepancy fun. "2H? You're suboptimal! Farm for that off-hand now".

    Besides, Tier 11 was spamming off hands and 1 handers compared to 2Hers.

    I prefer to use a staff over 1h and off hand, but i haven't been able to very often because of the cata enchants. I hope they rethink the MoP enchants a bit.

    Mighty Agility is better than Landslide as feral DPS.

    130 Agility is ~50% better for feral dps, according to RAWR.
