I got it on my druid..I was suprisingly the only one bidding on it. all the shamans in the raid where drooling over axes..:o

I am a feral druid, if still young, but I can definitely see how this item would be useful to a feral. I would have to agree however that the pure attack power would benefit the paladin and shaman quite a bit, this is a hefty little weapon, but the stats undeniably help the druid who already have to fight rogues for most of their armor. But at the end of the day, this is a raid drop, which means a person is probably going to use DKP, in if a nice little feral has the DKP to spend, and the weapon is clearly an upgrade, then their is no reason they shouldn't have their hand in the cookie jar too. We all need a little epic in our life.

If youre a druid, youre retarded to get this over an paladin or a shaman, you get ALOT more out of this: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19944
tbh its a dream shaman/paladin weapon due to speed and max dps, also stats support it.

For a fact:

Druids are, despite being specced for a <insert spec>, a hybrid class. Thus they will find use for all the stats in this weapon. Yes they might not want to wear it when they mainheal you on instance but as you MIGHT have heard there's BC comming out where you have whole new 10 levels to do, and personaly I dont think druids will be healing mobs to the grave.

What is it? They dont need int on cat form? D'oh. As you're aware, warriors or rogues cant heal either when they're grinding, this is due their so said higher dps wich allows them kill mobs faster. Even if druids lose a small portion of their total dps due this they gain ability to go caster, heal, and be ready for next mob straight away. This is where intellect kicks in, did I mention that manarege works in feral forms? Oh yea...

So...
Might not be top 1 choise for retradin, since they want crit.
Might not be top 1 choise for heladin, since they want to have +healing probably.
Might not be top 1 choise for resto druid, due not having that much caster stats. Might not be top 1 choise for feral druid, due not having that much feral stats.

But I sure want this to go with my judgement (STR enchants ftw, makes it valid all-around set, in other words hybrid set) & aq20/40 stuff. One of the few items where STR meets INT. With decend-to-good dps for an item having such a good stat-pool. Afraid I had to pass on this to other pally due hoarding dkp for judgement chest but certainly will want this before BC if possible.

Oh yea and enchant with agi / str for ferals, its great. Maybe spelldmg & healing (Yes its healing too nowdays) for paladins to even further push the hybrid element. TBC comes out, perfect for xping on hybrid gear, having healing capabilities wich will still be more than decend, while actualy being able to output decend dps (Decend in terms of solo farming, raidbuffed <insert class> can offcorse outdps, wich Im not even suprised.).

Idea was not to push on that having this will make paladin dps class, but to point out our class description as hybrid.
