The best sword that could be available to me at the moment is the Protector's Sword. I was looking into the Thrash Blade but it sounds like that can be a huge PITA to get. I have done one WSG so far and we won so I guess I would only need 27 more marks to get it.
Will this sword last me until outlands? I didn't really see a better sword for a while. The first one that I saw that was better and relatively easy to get was at like 58. Not sure if I missed any and I wouldn't want to work towards this sword only to discover there is a better one on the AH that I can buy for 10 gold at level 51.
If this sword will work, the highest damage weapon I have been able to get a hold of is a mace. It's stupid "of natures wrath" with + natural spell damage or something but had about 20 more damage than the highest damage sword I could get. Would it be worth it to respec for mace until I get the sword and switch back or just leave it at swords?
Any tips for WSG at 49? I did that I can be 2 shotted by a mage using frostbolt which was a bit embarrassing but I was able to get the flag carrier a few times and I was able to slow down those going for ours.
