Wands are currently BiS for most casters, not sure if that's going to be changing in 7.1.As far as ilvl goes for say a caster it's still going to be BIS.
Right now on live Wands are 'bugged' and act as a 2h giving around ~9 more stamina and intellect(not sure if that's the exact reason but it's something I've heard, it does give a lot of stats though), that's why you see 4k+ HP locks in 10-19s and 3.7k Tauren Priests.Wouldn't a caster that can use the sword want the extra ilvl?. At least on my hpal i'll be using as the warforged is only 44ilvl in 29's. huge boost.
I found out yesterday evening how exactly it works, it's just another instance/phasing thing.
When you enter the area there are either;
1. Warmongerer guards.
2. Wraithguard Servitor guards (these drops the blade, none of the other mobs do).
All you can do is pray for the 2nd one, cause then you can farm ~2-3 every 10 minutes. No need to kill any other mobs either.
Wands are still better, at least on my mage and lock.As far as ilvl goes for say a caster it's still going to be BIS.
Holy Pal also due to ilvlUnless they fix the bug where wands are giving 6.25% extra stats (as a 2h) - all mages/priests/etc will prefer a wand still.
Common Legion Blade will still be good for...
- Outlaw/Subtlety rogue offhand.
- WW monk both hands.
- Mistweaver monk mainhand. I dunno if MW can dual wield, but this will be better than the lily if so.
- Prot pally mainhand...? Only one of their moves is based on weapon damage. But I don't know any successful prot pallies, so that may still be useless.
I have and still can on my 99 DH Twink, but it takes a while to kill them solo so now I do it on my 110 Hunter which is super easy. I have noticed that on my 99 if I kite them to the Patrolling Guards (the 2 on their Saber Mounts) I get no loot at all.bump! Anyone able to loot these guys with lower than 110?
