Legendary mace coming in patch 3.1

We don't, however, have an actual tooltip of the mace itself, so while these tooltips suggest a healing mace, this could work the same way as Atiesh, where you could finish the quest to reassemble it by choosing one of four options, each with different stats for classes and specs. So while these tooltips show healers, there could also be a DPS and/or tank version of the mace as well. In fact, I'll say it right now: this is probably a Hunter weapon.
But either way, there'll be another Legendary item in the game soon. to 5.
Patch 3.1 brings us Ulduar, dual specs, significant changes to all the classes, and more! We've got you covered from top to bottom with our Guide to Patch 3.1.Filed under: Patches, Items, Analysis / Opinion, Fan stuff, News items, Raiding

DPS, SP or Healing for Shaman mace?

I hope us enhance Shamans get the option for a really really sick DPS melee mace as one of the options for that legendary quest. Of course the issue in many guilds will soon be... who gets the shards?

Well with our nerf to our Heroism (why else are we bought), I don't think it'll be our consern. I hope you can be happy rep grinding.

Heroism wasnt nerfed. It still the same, Blizz just swaped the numbers around. A very pointless thing to do. Who the F cares if Heroism is down to 5, when the debuff still lasts 10.

@ Kevin Gass
Actually, it can make a big difference. The way it is currently on live, you can get Bloodlust/Heroism once every 5 minutes if you happen to have 2 Shamans. This change forces the raid to wait 10 minutes, cutting the number of times it can potentially be used in half. This also makes the 5 minute spell cooldown INCREDIBLY pointless. But I suppose there is not much we can do about it. *shrug*

Draelan: We raise hell, we make it really clear how much this change makes non-Resto shaman irrelevant, we don't let up.

If the raid wipes, Heroism with a 5 minute cooldown SHOULD be available for use on the next attempt. Whereas with a 10 minute cooldown it wasn't as likely.

Cue the whining that a legendary weapon isn't obtained in a hardcore enough raid.
Falcom Feb 24th 2009 1:48PM
waaahhhh, i don't have to quit my job, disown my family/friends and otherwise become a 'hardcore' raider to get rewarded. waahhhh.
was that close enough?
Zuriell Feb 24th 2009 2:06PM
Nope.
Absoli Feb 24th 2009 2:13PM
I am willing to bet that the fragments will only drop in 25 man to appease the e-peen nerd rage that should start any second now
Palatel Feb 24th 2009 1:05PM
...Gratz? I am ecstatic to see a non-warrior/rogue legendary.

Oh man, I'd love to see the tooltip on the acutal item and have a legendary equipped on myself.

unique(30)..but you need 40...nobody will ever be able to get it...PANIC
Kevin Feb 24th 2009 1:10PM
I was just thinking the same thing to myself. How does one combine 40 if we can only carry 30?
Draenors Feb 24th 2009 1:12PM
Only the truly hardcore players will be able to carry 40.
Hansbo Feb 24th 2009 1:17PM
I think the ability to carry 40 is from a boss drop in the 3.2 patch.
Blizzard do like teasing us
Putts Feb 24th 2009 1:32PM
I'm guessing that they're throttling you to 30 so that players can get a feeling for how to get the weapon, whether drop rates are sufficient, etc., without actually making the weapon accessible on the PTR.
silverdragon Feb 24th 2009 1:36PM
The weapon is actually for chuck noris, which he can carry 80 of these items and create 2 and dual wield them.
Falcom Feb 24th 2009 1:49PM
if you're a hardcore raider, you can get 40 of a unique(30) item. but go to blizzard with your QQ and they'll fix it so other people can get it too.
