Being a long time Paladin, I'm not sure what purpose this serves. By sacrificing most of its physical damage and stacking a ton of stamina and more than average spelldamage this could be a very viable grinding weapon for a holy Paladin.

But one could just use a sword and board and get more spelldamage by a good margin, and be taking much less physical damage.

It's another option at least, which is a good thing.

Not really sure what the deal with this weapon is. Not good for anyone for just about anything. My guess would be it was accidentally added as a two-hander. Can only assume it's supposed to One-hander with these stats.

Given the speed and the name it might be a 2h weapons dedicated to SoR, for helping holy palas to grind.
While it's true that several caster sword and shield combos give you more armor and spelldamage, the SoR coefficient for 2h weapons is higher than for 1h weapons ( on top of the higher damage range on hte weapon itself ).

Playing a Tankadin myself, and having some insight in most of the esoteric workings of my class (Read: Other specs, Seal functionality etc), I'd say this is a weapon almost perfectly suited for a Holydin using SoV.
Thing is, you'll be more or less forced to use a 2.5+ weapon for SoV if you went SnB (due to the PPM system), but with Holy Guidance and some +Damage gear, a Holydin slapping this on could do some nice grinding, I reckon.
Although this thing is perhaps a mite fast, but should work very well with SoV's PPM system.

Let's compare.

Hammer of Righteous Might /-/ Gavel of Unearthed Secrets( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30832 ) + Mazthoril Honor Shield (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29268 ).

157 /-/ 182 Spelldamage (+40 /w enchant)
55 /-/ 40 Stamina (+18 /w enchant Shield, no Sta enchant for staffs)
18 /-/ 33 Intellect (+12 /w enchant Shield, +30 int on weapon)
0 /-/ 36 Spell Crit Rating

So the 1h / Shield combo has more spelldamage, more intellect (already without enchanted shield), more stamina (with enchanted shield), and 36 Spellcrit rating. Let's add to that that Holy Paladins gain additonal Spelldmg / healing from intellect, +11,55 (+15,75 /w intellect enchant on shield) with he 1h / shield combo, and only +6,3 Spelldamage from the 2h Maces "build in" intellect.

I know what i will NOT use.

Even though this items dmg is a joke if u spec prot and grab reckoning along with imp seal of righteous it could be a good grindin mace or in some cases a fairly good pvp mace for protection spec pallies if the white dmg got buffed.

Paladins either use high DPS 2 handers with retri specc or 1hander+shield with a holy specc. This is a mix between both. Its not useful for grinding compared to other 2handers or 1handers+shield, its not good for pvp and its horrible for PvE scince it lacks crit and the armor from a shield. Its horrible for shamans scince they too want to either wield shield+1hander for spell damage aswell as high deff or a 2hander with as high DPS as possible. Elemental Shamans with 2 handers should be shot, and there are much better staffs from raids anyway.

Some of you seem to get what this weapon is designed for: Moonkin/Balance druids. This weapon is utterly useless for any melee class, including Shamans and Paladins, and the only class that can use two handed maces that benefits from spell damage and dont benefit from weapon DPS are druids. A balance druid benefits from all stats and its equal to a staff with similar stats.

Now normaly this would be useless for Druids aswell scince there are waaaay better casters staffs for any raiding druid, but there is one thing that makes this weapon useful, Binds on Equip. This is a very solid choice for any balance druid who does not have access to Kara or other raids, and for various reasons doesnt want to or cant get the Arena staff. 157 spell damage with awsome PvP stats is much better than any instance weapon. Scince this is ONLY ever useful to a Balance Druid I cant imagine that you're gonna have to pay much for one of those.

The only thing that confuses me is the name, which clearly indicates that this would be a Paladin weapon, and the wepaon design kinda matches the Paladin Tier 4-5, not sure which (the one with all the purple sparkly stuff). Im not sure what the hell they were thinking, but this is not in any way a paladin weapon, even if it can be an uppgrade from a crappy blue weapon there are much better epics (and blues) that can be achieved without too much effort.

Commento di Ravedruid

This has to be a mistake a'la Girdle of the Pit.

I would be better off dusting off my Lok'amir and my Dragonheart. The marginal DPS difference is nothing and .1 slower equally so.

This compliments no paladin spec, period.

This would be good, not end-all-must-have as a 1H.

I had an Aurastone back in the day also because it had better DPS than other spell damage weapons and a nice slow seal of command friendly speed. As a 1H this could fit that nitch especially since it is a level 70 epic, BoE or not.

Commento di Jirek

It's amusing that people don't seem to realise how useful for damage output this weapon would be for a SoR-using paladin: shockadin, ret heavy on SD or other combinations. But all the better if that makes it cheaper on the AH. :)

I was about to go into a long rant about why, but the increased base damage and coefficients described earlier should really be enough too see why a sword+shield produces less damage. The speed doesnt hurt either, esp for builds using vengeance.

Random world, or instance random drop?

Will be buffed to 109 dps, some more spell damage, some crit rating and a lot of stats.

This hammer is craftable, though the location of the reciepe is yet unknown. Most likely trainable from the hammersmith teacher.

I SMELL BOOOOMKIN! ...cept it has no crit or mp5 or enuf int

Commento di 93181

This could conceivably be a starter moonkin weapon. Note the huge MP/5 on it, which helps with the mana issues that they currently deal with. The only thing that isn't on it is the Feral AP bonus, but as a moonkin, how often are you running around whacking stuff to regen your mana anyway? In a pinch, the fast attack speed helps if you do find yourself in such a situation since the mana/hit is based off AP. And so far, I have yet to find any staves or maces out there that have Feral AP in addition to Intellect, spell damage, and MP/5.

As was mentioned above, sure, you can get the Gavel from Exalted Lower City and an offhand for better damage/mp/5, but it won't come close to the amount of Stamina you'll need running around BGs or Arenas.

Commento di Emoir

Edit: Had a mistake in my math.

Anyway, I'm a tankadin and my solo/pvp/pve DPS is based on SoR and high +spell damage. Here's my math comparing Stormcaller/Mazorthil to HoRM. From my calculations, even though HoRM has slightly less + spell than that sword/board combo, it outputs much more DPS.

Let me know if there's a discrepancy in my calculations. Also, I had it nicely formatted, but these posts don't support tabs and leading spaces. :(
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DPS/AoE Grinding Gear
Base +Spell: 500
Sword/Board: 222
Total +Spell: 722
Attack Power: 450

SoR Coefficient: 9.2% / 1.0 weapon speed
Total Coefficient: 1.8 * 9.2% = 16.56%
Dmg of SoR: 16.56% * 722 ~= 120

Min Dmg of Sword: ((30 / 1.8) + (450 / 14)) * 1.8 ~= 88
Max Dmg of Sword: ((119 / 1.8) + (450 / 14)) * 1.8 ~= 177

Min Dmg: 88 + 120 = 208
Max Dmg: 177 + 120 = 297

DPS = ((208 + 297) / 2) / 1.8 ~= 140

HoRM: 208
Total +Spell: 708
Attack Power: 450

SoR Coefficient: 10.8% / 1.0 weapon speed
Total Coefficient: 2.1 * 10.8% = 22.68%
Dmg of Sor: 22.68% * 708 ~= 161

Min Dmg of HoRM: ((93 / 2.1) + (450 / 14)) * 2.1 ~= 161
Max Dmg of HoRM: ((186 / 2.1) + (450 / 14)) * 2.1 ~= 254

Min Dmg: 161 + 161 = 322
Max Dmg: 254 + 161 = 415

DPS = ((322 + 415) / 2) / 2.1 ~= 176

Commento di Winterstrife

Does anyone have a screenshot of this item? Wondering how it looks like, hopefully not some random low level mace skin.

Commento di Ravedruid

Want to make it decent? Add FAP to it.

Stop talking about its DPS. Go look up a level 70 staff or two, same if not better DPS than this one.

Holy paladins grinding either should go with a sword and board to maximize available spell damage as well as the added armor from the shield or they should go with a straight out DPS two-hander such as a Gorehowl. The spell damage doesn't have a chance in hell of equaling the 53 DPS difference between the two.

My moonkin has access to staves and daggers so I have no overwhelming desire to have this as it is. Sure, it has 15 mp/5 which is... well, as good as 15 mp/5 can be. The mp/5 to me is an indication that this is supposed to be an endurance / grinding weapon. The only problem is that as it stands this doesn't suit any class all that well. A balance druid could use it but that is it.

I would drop the mp/5 for FAP and let this little bugger keep The End of Dreams company as a spell damage + FAP weapon. I would give it around 500 or so and would slow it down to about 2.8 which would compliment the Natrualist talent more. Reallocate 20 points of stamina as spirit for innervates and you would have a great little endurance / Elune's Touch / regen weapon. Another poster asked the rather standard "how often are you going to be using melee for regen" question to which I would say as often as is possible when I am out of mana. To me, the mp/5 just really can't stand up all that well when it is at the expense of spell hit or crit.

Right now the eccentricity of it is probably the most compelling reason to have one and that is a pretty poor reason.

So while it is nice to see Blizzard is trying (aren't they cute?) this staff doesn't shine any brighter in my eyes than say a Bringer of Death / Terokk's Shadowstaff /Staff of Infinite Mysteries of which none are especially hard to get. The Gladiatior staffs however blow this out of the water.

Oh, and if it uses the same Fischer Price plastic looking model as The Hammer of Destiny or Shard of the Virtuous then it is definitly going to strike out.

Commento di 82553

Remember, everyone, that even though this is lacking FAP, if you need to regen through melee, you can always swap in a weapon with FAP before you melee. You could even enchant your FAP weapon with savagry since you aren't using it for spell damage. This staff allows great min-maxing!

Commento di 30248

This weapon suxorzmax! If you happen to have a miner alt with the mats and you don't have a better weapon at the time go for it but i wouldn't suggest using it over curator staff or LC mace + 2.3 badge offhand, or mindblade + badge offhand.

The lack of crit doesn't matter due to crit not being a main moonkin stat, damage and hit far outweigh it.

The only time i would see it being applicable is PvP where you dont have access to any other weapon or combination. Like Kara/Za weps, arena weps.

Commento di 101340

People dismissing this as a good Paladin weapon are missing the blatant use of 2H's for holy paladins.

Yes, you take more damage.

Yes, you might have fewer stats and less +DMG from your weapon slots.

However, these are insignificant compared to the increased +DMG coefficient. Stupid people just say, yeah, but you get less damage from your weapons. OK. If the only +DMG you have is on your weapons, please go burn yourself. ALL OF YOUR SPELL DAMAGE, from any gear, talents, enchants...etc, makes use of this increased coefficient.

The SEVERE lack of melee abilities and damage (aside from seals, which are spell damage) would make using a regular DPS 2H really not worth it. Holy paladins don't have the attack power, crit, or any other melee abilities to make use of the higher auto-attack white damage.

You will do more damage with this weapon than you will with sword and board, assuming you have half decent gear.

This mace sucks beyond belief.

The reasoning for this is that most people state that is a grinding mace, yet it even REQUIRES you to grind it.
This will probably never recover the money this will cost you.

Commento di mattman321

This weapon is a dps improvement vs. sword/mace+shield while farming single target mobs as a holy paladin because seal of righteousness receives a better spell damage coefficient from a two-hander.

I've got around 800 spell damage in my farming gear. In my unscientific test I came up with these numbers while single mob farming using seal of righteousness:

Using Stormcaller+Spellbreaker's Buckler I averaged ~340dps

Using Hammer of Righteous Might I average ~375dps

Commento di krasher

I got these plans from a frog (transformed into a human) in Zul'Aman. No idea who would want such a thing. I wonder if it's supposed to be a one-hander, and someone made a mistake.

Commento di 103950

66.6 dps.......The Exorcist anyone? :)

Commento di 9697

All this is is a stat stick. It's basically a staff, probably directed more toward Balance Druids and Elemental Shamans. Up until this came out, there were only two other spell DPS weapons, one was a dagger and the other a sword, this is supposed to be the 2h among those. It's a stat stick, nothing more.

Commento di 100031

Righteous hammer? It's got 66.6 DPS!

Commento di 99565

Ah ha! With 66.6 DPS, the weapon's true meaning has been revealed.

It's for a blood elf holy paladin! Alliance, please stay away from this one.

Commento di 22103

Balance druids are the only ones who can realy use this without making sacrifices. Ele shamans and paladins who dont wear shields are sacrificing an extra enchant slot, not to mention half their armor. I think the point of this weapon is to give balance druids something to call their own.

Commento di 99096

Alright now imo this is for paladins best fit to this build, http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sxy0Mxu0xsZxGzhRc0g
when i was leveling up i used something close to it, it was the best thing I have seen for killing anything that attacks fast rogues, hunters, fury warriors, or anything using 1 handers, anyways since the attack speed is 2.1 u use all of Reckonings charges with SoR which procs on every hit, unlike SoC since vengeance uses spell dmg too, stack them up, judge and change back to SoR and you will see the large dps i was doing like 2k a swing no crits, without this nice weapon, and all greens, the more spell dmg u get the better, or with full +healing you will have huge heals and nice spell dmg, test it you may like what you see, sry for the long post enjoy >:)
ps. the bubble + reckoning = fun

Commento di 116147

What a waste of time this weapon is. Ret. Paladins will want something that stacks strength and has high weapon damage, Moonkin and Elemental Shamans will want something that has +crit, and for a Holy Paladin, the time and money necessary to farm for something like this would be totally a waste, considering you would only use it...for farming.

Is this blizzard's attempt to throw us a bone for making all the caster swords ridiculously overpowered and the opposite for every caster mace, making moonkins and shamans feel neglected in itemization? Because it's not working.

Commento di 96384

Admittedly, it could perhaps use a slight buff in the spell damage department, but it's got some pretty solid stats, it's great for a shockadin, 15mp5 is huge.

This is currently the only viable 2H weapon available to shockadins. Yes, you lose out on some spell damage from having, say, a Gladiator's Gavel + Spell dmg shield, but the base holy dmg done by Seal of Righteousness is 41% higher on a 2H weapon and the spell dmg coefficient is 17.4% higher on a 2H weapon also, that's a significant boost for Shockadin DPS.

Yes, its not for everyone, but now there's a 2H spell dmg weapon option for paladins (who can't use staves).

Commento di 109523

I had this mace crafted a month or two ago, and I simply love it! I'm working on a spell dmg Ret/Holy/Prot build and using the Lamellar plate from PvP. I've been able to sustain 500 dps in Kara without worrying about going OOM, and off-heal when needed without gear swaps (great for bad pulls when most Ret pallys would be in AP/Str DPS gear). I'm expecting those numbers to go up considerably once I dump the rest of my blues.

Commento di Santastrauss7000

Actually this weapon is underestimated.

Here is some math:
x - is your total spell dmg including all enchants, excluding weapon and shield

lets compare it with Arena1 1h mace and Arena3 shield (199 and 35 spell damage) using SoR.

(x + 168) * 10.8% = (x + 199 + 35) * 9.2%
x*10.8% + 18.144 = x*9.2% + 21.528
x*1.6% = 21.528 - 18.144
x = 211.5 spell damage.

that means the is you you have MORE than 211.5 spell dmg from gear this weapon will add more to your SoR.

Lets try to compare with the best 1hand i've found http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34176 and the best shield http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30909
that will be 266 + 42 spell dmg.

(x + 168) * 10.8% = (x + 266 + 42) * 9.2%
x*10.8% + 18.144 = x*9.2% + 28.366
x*1.6% = 28.366 - 18.144
x = 637 spell damage.

so if you have 637 or more spell dmg for the rest of your gear thats THE BEST WEAPON IN GAME for use with SoR.
As you know 637 spell dmg is not that much, even healers can achive it.

for Arena3 weapon and shield
x=487.5 spell dmg.

Trogvar @ haomarush

P.S.
same math for http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28800
(x + 33) * 10.8% = (x + 266 + 42) * 9.2%
x*10.8% + 3.564 = x*9.2% + 28.366
x*1.6% = 28.366 - 3.564
x = 1550.125 spell damage.

This is a really good weapon for paladin dps, I really hope they make better ones like this. Here is the build I made check it over. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVVZxhZVf0xMcdiIot Now think why 2h with lower spell damage then 1h with much higher and shield? with a 2h they get a better chance to stack vengeance to 5 then judge it, switch to seal of righteousness instantly after that wait 10 sec, then switch back to vengeance refresh the dot and repeat. while using Crusader strike the whole time.

At the point where the only way I can rly tank normal instances now is with a 2hander (just tanked arca with the new axe from badges in 2.4 since I wasn't taking any dmg), so I think I'm gonna get me one of these for a bit of fun : )

Commento di Ametrine

Yet ANOTHER 2H weapon named "Hammer" or "Mallet" that looks nothing like one, but instead just looks like a fancy spiked club.

How disappointing.

Commento di SamusAran

I'm a Healadin. Prior to this hammer, putting together a grinding set consisted
of moonlighting as a retadin during dailies with a reliance on AP and CS.
That arrangement sacrificed all the assets I'd enhanced with talents and epic gear.
With this hammer, I retain those assets, (mana pool, +heals/spell dmg/crit etc)
I also don't have to carry around a 2nd set of gear, so I have more bag space available.
It swings rather fast for a two-hander so I can apply SoV rather quickly getting
about 325 dmg a tick at 5 applications over the 150 base on what I'd call
'hard targets' otherwise, I'd use SoR on 'soft targets'. If you're looking for a grinding two-hander
that will let you play your strengths and provide efficient soloing to a healing
spec, this hammer will do that.

Got this today on my shockadin (40-0-21), full Lamellar S1 + Vindicator (880 spelldmg, 28% Holy Crit), and I must say, it rocks!

Replacing the Gladiator's Gavel + Draenei Honor Guard Shield with this made me lose 1% holy crit and 52 spelldmg (now I'm around 835 holy dmg and 27.5% holy crit - got S2 gloves).

The average hits with SoR up go for around 500-600 total (melee + holy dmg), each.

Tried it in pvp, not much difference from gavel+shield, probly shield can mitigate a bit more from melees, but where this wins is the fact that you can go PvP and fool pretty much everyone into thinking you're Ret, while in fact you're about to face melt for 5k from 20 yards away ;D

About the price.. just had to buy the primal might's, got some guildies to transmute a couple, farmed the metal and had the nethers lying around from some heroics. Not that expensive, by today's money making standards.

http://www.warcrafter.net/sandbox/92814

Commento di patrikman

I think it is bad weapon for so expensive resources, 2 primal nethers are too much for makin just this weapon. The mana restoring and stamina aren´t so bad, but still to expensive.

Commento di 48132

This is obviously for prot paladin non-AOE grinding with a spelldamage set, or for a holy paladin same thing. a sword/shield might give you more spell damage and stats however if you do not have a sword or shield and a lot of money to spend this is right up your alley.

Are there any good 2 handed alternatives for a NO BLACKSMITHING prot to grind in?..

On the plus side, with Transmogrification incoming, this weapon can finally see some use. Even if just to steal its skin.

It looks very unique, no other weapon that shares this skin, and it doesnt look half-bad at that.
