Swiftsteel Bludgeon!! w00t?
I am full of fail. For some reason I don't seem to have my head screwed on straight for common sense things this week. Case in point: Swiftsteel Bludgeon. It dropped on trash yesterday as we were clearing our way to High Warlord Naj'entus. I spent DKP on it.
You'll notice the 1.50 speed. You'll also notice how that weapon speed entirely sucks for enhancement shaman. You'll notice again that I spent DKP for it. You will notice the fail.
What happened was that I just recently recreated my loot spreadsheet. In this spreadsheet I have listed every drop that would be of interest to an Enhancement Shaman from Karazhan through to Black Temple, including BoE crafted items. Item values are entered in manually by me and then compared to the Enhancement Points system. It is sorted by slot and then by total EP value so I can tell at a quick glance whether or not an item is worth the upgrade--and worth the DKP.
When the Swiftsteel Bludgeon dropped I checked my file only to find it wasn't listed. I whispered in officer chat to our GM to hang on as I needed to plug in the values to see if it was worthwhile. Another officer replied back "stoney look at the speed" and I thought to myself, yeah 27 haste is pretty sweet! I said I'd take it and spend DKP as a main spec item. After I looted someone asked in raid chat why I wanted a 1.50 speed weapon. My reply was the only appropriate one: "fuck me"
Thankfully we have a very good guild leader who let me put in a ticket with a GM to have it go to the next interested party, and didn't charge me DKP for it. Interestingly, we saw that weapon drop 2 more times last night so a rogue got 1 and a warrior got 2 (for an Execute set).
