As dissapointed as det was over certain tailor-made items and their look, I was probably less gruntled over the look of the oh-so-awesome Hand Of Eternity mace. It's a player-crafted item with nifty stats:

Hand of Eternity
Binds when equipped
Main Hand Mace
35 - 131 Damage Speed 1.90
(43.9 damage per second)
+20 Intellect
Durability 105 / 105
Requires Level 70
Equip: Restores 7 mana per 5 sec.
Equip: Increases healing done by spells and effects by up to 317.

The model, however, is the same as the basic mace given to a level one priest- not so good. I'm shallow, I love shiny. I wanted my shammy's healing weapon to scream "I R SO SHINY!", just because it's nice to look at. "Walk softly and carry a big stick" is a fine tactic and all, but really.. a level one mace? That's just a wee bit too low profile. The Northshire Battle Mace that it replaces was all jagged sparkling angles, and really looked rather nice

Cutting a long story short, WoWhead is claiming that the placeholder model for this awesome weapon is being replaced by something a little more spangly:

(Grr, mods, I did a couple of forum searches to try and see if wowhead was allowed this week, but came up empty. I did find threads with tonnes of wowhead links and no complaints though, so did my best. Hope no-one's upset :)

You jest, but my shammy was throwing some HAELs around in EoS the other day, and a hordie warlock who was blowing up team mates got a little too close for comfort... and got killed by a windfury procced from a stormstrike using this mace. I did cackle somewhat. It felt like a driveby using an ambulance- so very wrong.

(Yes, I put windfury on it in BGs, but what have I to lose other than a tiny bit of mana what I will soon regen? :-)

"Well spangilated" will suit me just fine- apart from a little rep farming, I am now ready for the patch :)

I like it, it looks realistic this way.

I'm not a fan of giant glowing shiny weapons either. It seems like 1/2 of wow wants their char to blind me when I look at him/her and all their bling.

At present, they're the right honourable competition. They are competition, but they have similar beliefs to our own, hence right honourable, and they have info we don't have here, so we're stressing the right honourable bit more..

Once the new WWNData is up and running and fully concurrent, they'll still be the right honourable competition, but then we'll be stressing the competition thing a wee bit more.

Does that explain things better? :grin:
