Wow, you know you're tired when you write "tresher" instead of treasure. Good job! # 9 hours ago

My boss gave me tomorrow off, isn't she great? And I got my priest to 70. :) # 11 hours ago

I am now officially "casual". A temporary weight off my shoulders. Although I did hop in & do Putricide to help out. But that doesn't count. # 2010/03/10

Lich King weapons: crit and mp5 axed for haste

Posted by Keeva on February 8, 2010 at 5:06 PM

Via mmo-champion:

Some of the weapons from the Lich King are not as good as we had hoped. To encourage you to want these new weapons, we have decided to change some of the old combat ratings over to better ones. We have obtained a preview of these changes, for your perusal, on behalf of the Beijing development team.
Royal Scepter of Terenas II: MP5 replaced with haste
Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas: critical strike replaced with haste

This is a welcome change; suiting up with 4pc T10 creates a bit of a haste deficit, and I know that many people were concerned over our lack of decent weapon choices. It’s nice to see the gear guys are apparently paying attention to what we need.

Still waiting for some change to the 10-man Lich King itemization….

…but I’ll probably be waiting forever. At least there’s a mythical staff that supposedly drops from Saurfang10. Supposedly.

*Cheer*… this makes the mace great for spriests, elemental shamans and balance druids as well.

More competition for the healers, but at least now we don’t have to look at the spellpower sword and /facepalm yet again at the inequities of itemization.
