So today I switched to AR/Prep. I had no real maces to use so I just bought two that I could find off the AH for the time being. One of them literally is a piece of wood with a nail in it.
I was originally going to just do BGs with it and switch back to step for the arena because of my poor weapon choices. Then my 2v2 partner said to just "roll with it" and do some 2v2 with my awesome board-with-nail-in-it. I said alright, but knew that we'd more than likely get absolutely devastated.
We went 4-0. One of the teams we faced was a Rival Ranked pally/war team as well.
I don't know how much of it was the new spec and how much was that my priest got a chance to watch a holy priest pvp in 2v2. I think it's actually a combination of both.
So, I can't wait to see how this spec plays out when you actually have two real weapons (no board-with-nail-in-it). Although I must say, it's hilarious (and frustrating) beating teams that would have previously killed us with a bad *** and cool sharp dagger and instead die to us when I use a board-with-nail-in-it.
