Good 2-Hander

[mattmandude]

So, I'm thinking of respecing from STA/INT (pvp spec'd if you're wondering) to WIS/INT to try and get crane flock to boost my DPS in raids, and I realize that I have to now find a good 2-Hander.I sold Grizzfazzle's a long time ago, and my guild doesn't raid too many places (Labs, Lyceum, Freethinker's sometimes). So is there any decent 2-handers that I could get from heroic instances, or perhaps are easily attainable in certain raid zones (that aren't too hard)?

Bo of Flowing Blood comes from Unrest, and usually many on sale for cheap prices on the Permafrost broker, at least.

I snagged mine for 50 gold.There aren't a heck of a lot of options to be honest. I hope that changes.

<p>Vraksakin is a not too difficult contested x4 mob in Temple of the Scale.  If you can catch him up on your way to kill harla, he has a chance to drop one of the best 2 handers available.  The problem with the flapping wing staff and bo of flowing blood is that they have relatively small delays and low damage spreads.  The vraksakin club has a delay of 4ish and a base damage range of 1-400, so you will do much more damage when you crit (a crit does a minimum of the weapon's normal max damage), and it will be much easier to time your arts when using it.</p><p>I'm not insinuating that it is as easy to get as the other two items mentioned, but if your guild is having success in Freethinker's, Vraksakin should not be a problem to take down.</p>

Bo of Flowing Blood is what I settled on for the time being.  The delay on it drops to 1.0ish at around 130 haste, so I am not wasting haste most of the time, and the damage range is nice.I have many 2 handers, like the Strifewing Bone Bo, the Doomcrusher from HoF, the Awakened Stormwind Battlemace from PoA (which is nice because it heals you), and the Staff of the Flapping Wing (the stats suck on it), to name a few and the Bo of Flowing Blood seems to top out as the most efficient between damage and delay.  It also adds 2% to crits and the stats are nice.The Wurmslayer is even better, and is easily attainable if you craft or know a crafter who can do it on consignment.  I am in the final process of completing that HQ now.Aside from that, you are looking at Fabled raid drops, and I have yet to see a good monk 2h fabled drop once.  It seems to always be swords and axes and daggers for some reason...Keep in mind the club mentioned above has a minimum damage of 1, so the spread is all over the place unless you land a critical hit.

To the original poster...  I don't think a 2-hander is required for the Wis line anymore right?  Cant you use it with your existing weaps?

Ok well, I've decided to forget about crane flock because I solo pvp too much. Now I'm looking for another 2.5 delay dual wield (already have fists of bashing).Any thoughts?

[lagerone]

<p>You want the dual wield off Bonesnapper, Hardshell Sharpened Baton I think its called or similar.</p><p> 2.5 delay.</p>

Ah thank you! I'm glad it's a x2, and I heard that the crab wasn't that hard to kill. I'll get on that

would the Wurmslayer (2h style) viable since GU38 with approx 200 haste (raidbuffed) ?noticed that I can't go below 1.0 delay anymore (2x 1.6 delay weapon) and thinking about using the 2h eventually.but I would like to know more about the results with the Wurmslayer before I start crying for AoA X2 to get Harla done.cheers,Nok
