Hammersmith or Axesmith Follow

Weapon expert please help?

Because of PVP i have choose profession BS now I am at the point the going nuts with mat. which one i should go Master Hammersmith or Master Axesmith ??

because of the following item. as i am new at Shammy any hint would be great.


1. Wicked Edge of the Planes and Black Planar Edge ???
2. Dragonstrike and Dragonmaw ???

Go with maces. Last I checked it was on par with the fist from Al'ar or the mace from Temple, since the proc scales very well. Which one of those three is best comes down to the person and the gear.

Unless, of course, you're an orc, in which case expertise ftw.

Hijacking.

Does blacksmithing provide any worthwhile high-level mail?

If you were a blacksmith though, how would this be for a Shaman? I know the intel isn't much needed, and the Mp5 really is wasted on an Enhancement Shaman, but I know the plate version of this is one of the better chests for DPS. Just not sure where this one fits in though compared to other chests the player could acquire.

Regardless, LW is still better, but IF you were already a BS and didn't want to switch.

There's a better chest available than that from Heroic MrT. Not worth wasting BS'ing on something like that.

Leatherworking is good for shammies, but not because of the mail they can make. Most/all crafted mail is hunter gear, you're better off making the rogue leather, but it's really not worth it unless you can get your hands on some bT or Sunwell recipes.

Ya I agree with theo, but the lack of stats still probably makes the axe better in pvp. the maces do seem pimp though.

thanks for all inputs, but if this is the case does it make sense to go BS only for that Axe or Mace ? As the price would be at least around +5k.
as through level up i have gather all needed ore for getting to 375 very fast . although i am not 70 yet hopefully in 2 days ( 68).

When i hit 70 i planed to go alchemy to make some potion for my main and some extra gold wont be bad and BS the second one. Now to be honest not sure if the BS is right !?

/sigh

The badge fists > any pvp gear outside of S4. The two badge fists are T6 equivalent and one adds haste which is the enhance shamans friend.

Resilience sounds nice for an enhance shaman, but in reality you aren't going to live long enough in most cases for it to matter if you have 400 resilience or 250. Focus on doing as much damage as possible, typically I'll dole out 40k damage in my 5s before I'm dead and I only have 287 resilience in my pvp gear. 1/5 S2 - 2/5 S3 1/5 S4 and the 100 badge chest. 40k though, thats a healer and a clothy or rogue before I drop. My Arena team loves me. =)

Edited to say: Dragonstrikes > all. So we're clear.
