Druids and 2H SwordsFollow

A recent patch changed things such that any weapon can grant feral attack power (based on the inherent dps of the weapon), but that doesn't mean we can use all those weapons. The green text about the amount of feral attack power granted by a certain weapon was also added to all weapons in that patch, though only druids can see the text on most weapons. The purpose was to broaden the range of weapons feral druids could use slightly, since, as you noted, most weapons are not usable by us (all swords and axes, 2H maces).

At this point, this has a much greater impact for ferals still leveling as opposed to level-capped ferals since currently the best L.80 weapons are still our tried-and-true feral staves.

Ha, no kidding? I've never equipped a 2H mace that I can recall, so I guess I just assumed. Thanks for the correction, I'll fix my post so as not to mislead anyone.

I personally thought of those debates over a year ago about "Can a cat's attack speed be affected by haste rating"? They used a two-handed mace drop from Gnomer to test. As we all know now, yes, auto-attacks are affected by haste :)

You won't have to destroy it horsemouth. You bought it from a vendor and the vendor will buy it back ;) If you ever get nostalgic you can just go buy a new one.

I know what you mean though. I shed a small tear when i sold mine. It just didn't feel right.

In a way I guess I'm lucky in that I didn't reach 70 until a few monthes before the expansion. Knowing the expansion was coming I didn't grind to get exalted to get Earthwarden. Thats not to say I didn't want it though. :)

I like what Blizzard did for regards to gaining rep in the expansion.

Heh, druid weapon usages always make me laugh.

Last night after much failing on 3drakes we decided to knock out spider wing to end the night of raiding on a high not. Maexxna dropped Wraith Strike. I of course would love the Wraith Strike as a boomkin so I said I'd like it, our Loot Council was clueless that druids could use fist weapons so they gave it to the enhancement shaman who wanted it for his resto set. I'll mention as well that one of our officers is a boomkin...

Hope my ticket goes through faster for a mis loot, I want sexy fist weapons.

Edit: Forgot to mention I still think Earthwarden is the coolest looking 2h mace a druid can wield.

I had the Merciless Gladiator's Maul which looked like it would be extremely painful if smashed into your head - it's my favorite (although I am enjoying parading around at the moment with my Black Ice equipped :)
