... for Shamans who chose to wield Axes and 2handers at that. For a Elemental Shaman, this is the dream 2hander for killing squishies.

I'm thinking of maybe getting this

On my server these things do not go for much. You can find them for 40-50g, maybe even cheaper. I mean SURE it doesn't have that great of a top-end damage, but what does it have? Chance to hit for an extra 200-300 damage + dropping intellect by 25. It would be great as a quick switch between other weapons in PvP. You come across a caster then just equip this really fast and take them out. Then while fighting other guys switch to your IBS or w/e else you have.

I never thought the median was 195g though :O So do you guys think it's worth it since I see them all the time for so cheap?

I think what alot of people fail to realize in regards to this weapon speed is what it's purpose is (especially in concern to classes that can't duel wield), as a "brain hacker".

Simply put it's an anti-caster weapon. On one hand it has fast speed, this means that it'll interrupt casting time much more often then a slow weapon. On the other hand using a faster one hand in combination with a shield is a waste. The reason why:A shield has almost no use against a caster that relies mostly on spell damage, you're using a weapon that does less damage than a two-hander and not getting any use out of your shield.

So, the Brain Hacker solves the two. It frequently interrupts casting time -and- gives you the damage output without having to sacrifice power for speed with a one hander.

The intelligence debuff just helps my case that it's made to be anti-caster.

Yes, I'd say he was right. For most hunters, melee weapons are stats slots (how much time do you actually spend meleeing?), so you want weapons that improve your ranged damage - things with +AGI, +CRIT and, to an extent, +HIT are generally very popular for hunters.

If you want an idea of good gear to go for, have a look on http://wow-loot.com/hunter.htm

I dont know alot about huntards, but I think theyre better off with a melee weapon/weapons with alot of stats like the bone slicing hatchet from strat. He probably laughed because this has a melee proc, which most hunters arnt going to get alot out of.

To all those who say the speed of this beauty blows for instant attacks: (From WoW's official site)


Instant Attacks
The mechanics of most instant melee attacks have been modified to improve item balance. Previously, instant melee attacks did damage based on the damage range of the weapon, plus a bonus for the player's attack power. This bonus was then multiplied by the speed of the weapon. As a result, slow weapons did more damage than was intended, and fast weapons were considered inferior by most players. We have changed the way the attack power bonus is calculated for instant attacks. This change does NOT affect attack power calculations for normal melee attacks. Instead of multiplying by the speed of the weapon, the attack power bonus is now multiplied by a fixed number pulled from the following table:

Two-handed weapons: 3.3
(this means the 2.1 speed of Brain Hacker is considered 3.3 and so is the damage range when using an instant attack)
Daggers: 1.7
All other one-handed weapons: 2.4
As a direct result of this, many weapons have shifted position in their relative power. In particular, many Epic (purple) quality items are now more powerful than slower Superior (blue) weapons.
This change was not made to reduce the power of instant attacks, but to correct the relative imbalance of weapon itemization. At a given level requirement, epic quality weapons should always be more powerful than superior quality weapons
.
Please also note that all normal weapon swings will be completely unaffected by this change. The following abilities are affected by the design change: Sinister Strike, Ambush, Backstab, Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, and Overpower.

I bought this for a mere 250g...

Guess you guys wish you hadn't sold this weapon now, eh?

You have to realize that even with the normalization, your isntants depend heavily on the weapons damage range. so while you don't get the AP boost from a slower weapon, the speed is still important because slower weapons have higher top end damage. compare this weapons 143 top end with IBS's 233 (picked IBS since just about everyone should have one) - that's 90 more damage on your mortal strike (before armor, of course), so even though your AP is adding the same amount of damage to each, the IBS is still going to give you better MS/overpowers.

It's sad that there are no BOE epic 2hs (that i know of, anyways) with a higher topend than some of the blues (IBS, Arc reaper, Barb blade)
