Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings (Stats)

Hi,

My Guild has recently found a couple of the Shards to form "Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings." and it was very hard to decide who would benefit the most from the mace as the stats are currently unknown. This just made the guild decide to give it to an officer (holy pala) in the hope it would benefit them the most.

Please can we get to see the proposed stats so that we can make educated decisions about who should be getting what loot, mystery items after 10 weeks of raiding and clearing uludar (estimated on this weeks drops of 3 per run) for a mace with unknown stats is just a bit crazy.

Q u o t e:
It will have 3 different types on the quest, 1 for priest n druids, 1 for paladins, 1 for shammies. no class benefits more.
As far as I am aware, we've said nothing to indicate there would, or wouldn't be, multiple versions of the mace. This of course doesn't preclude the chance there will be, but whether there is or not is not something I'm going to reveal here and now -- some things are better off as a surprise, right? ;-)

However, from what I can see the mace does look good for all healing classes. Sure it might depend on what stats you're wanting to maximise but from the looks of it, there's enough juicy stats to keep most or all healers happy. I suspect no healer would turn around and say "Oh no, this doesn't have enough crit/haste..etc on it so no I don't need it"... :-)

Well, regardless of whether it's Spirit or MP5
Could be either... or neither. *gasp*

Wanna bet?
Not really! I can quite see it coming back to haunt me if I did ;-)

I'll rephrase it somewhat, with that in mind. My healer wouldn't say no to it and no, not just because it's legendary. Even if I wasn't super happy at some particular stat or lack thereof, I'd probably find a way of adjusting my other gear to make up for it.

Okay, okay, maybe just because it's legendary.
