So WHY are there ZERO OH weapon choices in ulduar?
And there are only Two MH choices for us, one from 10 man, and one from 25. Now, I know all the loot hasn't been discovered yet, but lets look at what has been discovered.
5 2H weapons
2 Polearms
2 Physical Staves
5 Fast/Tank 1H Maces
6 1H Swords
4 Daggers
9 Ranged Weapons (Really, 9 was necessary?)
1 Fast OH Fist
2 Slow MH Fist
So out of this list, we have 2 viable weapons, 1 clearly superior to the other, and its for MH only. So it will replace our KT MH fist, which is by far the best weapon available to us now.
Which will leave it a toss up between the Angry Dread (ilvl 213 2.5 spd) and The Stray (ilvl 200 2.6 spd) as our best in slot OH for the entirety of 3.1.
So yeah, I'm left scratching my head. Why make slow/slow the best and give us ZERO love with weapons. I know that we're the ONLY class that would make use of say, a 1H non tank slow axe, but why not give us one? There's 9 ranged weapons for a total of 3 classes that can equip them, 1 that really cares about them. And one of those weapons is specifically for tanks, which is only of use to a Prot warrior.
At the very least, you could just make all fists in the game one handed. That way, rogues can still use the slow ones for MH, and pick up the fast ones for their OH, and we can keep our KT fists and combine them with an Ulduar weapon, so I"m not stuck killing Algalon w/ something that dropped off of Naxx 10 trash.
Sorry for the rather rant-ish nature of this post, but weapons are the lifeblood of our EXTREMELY gear dependent class, and being constantly forced to work with inferior gear to those around me in raids has gotten old after an expansion and a half.
