This is currently the second best weapon in the game for farming. (The first being http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1485 )
Looks exactly like the shovel that the farmers are carrying around. Who woulda guessed?
anyone know if this is this still in game? one comment says "it looks like what they carry around" they now carry pitch forks. and ive been slaughtering these for a while with no drop.
*edit* i can confirm this is still ingame, like 20min after posting it dropped.
