Dark Iron Pulverizer

If anyone happens to know, how often does this weapon proc? I appreciate it!

It procced for me maybe 5 times in one game of AV. Possibly the most awesome PvP proc in the game. Definitely worth getting if you are around that level and can get someone to craft one for you -- dark iron is extremely cheap now.

The proc is very good and basically means a free win, but the rate of occurance is beyond horrendous. Most weapons are measured in proc per minute (PPM), this one is rated at 0.18, meaning it is roughly 1 in 5 minutes. There are many stun weapons that are easier to get with better chances, The Unstoppable Force being one of those. (And at 70 make a Deep Thunder)

A little number crunching. If the PPM is 0.18 the swings per proc would be (60/3.7)/0.18 = 90.09 swings per proc Which means the procs per swing would be 90,09^-1 = 0.0111 = 1.11% chance for a proc on a swing

My warrior used to have it. It procs about 1 every 5 minutes. In my opinion, I wouldn't suggest even bothering with it. Sorry.

Say you're an agility - enhancement shaman throwing windfuries and flurries. Basically a shaman swings waiting for the "iwin" effect. (windfury/ crit windfury)

The proc is another "iwin" effect. Crusader would be a third "iwin" effect. With three such effects it gets exciting to swing; for pure fun this is an interesting and effective weapon for that dreary final grind into BC.

[edit] i agree with selefi below, DW is better on a shaman. I enjoyed this on my paladin though in the low 50's; It's better than the epic sword (forgot it's name).

For leveling you will find green one-handers that have higher DPS than this piece very early in the game, and as a Shaman approaching 70 you will almost definitely want to play around with dual wield if you are Enhancement spec (not to mention doing significantly more damage if you don' t bother with this item). If you like waiting for a Windfury or Crusader to hit (which is dreadful for myself and everyone I've talked to about leveling as Ret or Enhance) then you'll still have more fun with an easily acquired blue two-hander from the first BC zone. Years ago when this weapon was sort of wor

i'm a mace spec arms warrior and each time i engage in pvp combat i always equip this mace , mace stun proccs more and this weapon procced 3 times for me in one fight

this is really auto win weapon when hits spec, very good in pvp.

this is very good for a pally with seal of crusader easier to get a proc :)

... yet this is one of the slowest 2 handers a WARRIOR can grab at this lv. It means it's a great PvE weapon now that Slam doenst' take spell puchback anymore. Huge slams for fast kills. It's not too shabby for PvP either - it delivers some pretty solid Mortal Strikes. And if it HAPPENS to proc you won. It's a pity it's not an axe or sword, the specs are better for a pure grinding weapon... edit: Typo

Although the proc rate on this is infact, horrendous, a war with mace spec could make great use from this weapon, the spec could grant smaller stuns, with the inevitable (and eventual) grand 8 second stun from DI pulverizer, plus i imagine the speed is GREAT for MS

It would be a great PvP weapon for a mace specced warrior! ... if it wasn't the worst possible PvP level for an item. If it was one level lower, level 49, it would be a prime twinking weapon, but at level 50, in the 50-59 brackets, there's just so many better weapons you can get than this mace.

This is a great weapon for a lv50 paladin... the slow speed and high damage make for huge [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=35395]Crusader Strike[/url] and [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=20919]Seal of Command[/url] hits.

yes, great dmg and also a chance tu stun, so u have another source of stunning/incapacitating (HoJ, repentance) for dealing a nice judgement dmg with seal of command. dunno if it worths the gold and runs to brd that it demands

I'm just thinking... with the new warrior talent tree.... this.... duel wielding....its madness muhahaha!

dose the proc increase when you gain lvls? i mean is this wep got bigger proc on 70?

The proc always stays at .18 PPM and 8 seconds, it does not get bigger or happen more often as you level. Additionally, at level 70 you can easily get weapons with double, even triple the DPS that this weapon has, and with procs that would be more useful (due to a higher chance of happening).

The strength of a proc will also tend to decrease rather than increase as you level, even though I have no idea how that works out in this case.

If you dual-wield this weapon with the new warrior-talent, will the proc rate double or does the game keep it the same to retain the balance of weapons like this?

Im not sure if this right, but everything (besides stats such as AP crit strike str Chance on hit) are halfed, including DPS and Proc rate. Im unsure of this, Downrate me if im wrong ;)

Nope, the dps stays the same, and the proc rate does in fact double. But if both weapons were to proc back to back, the second stun would most likely be reduced by diminishing returns.

I agree, i want to see what a titan's grip warrior dual wielding these things has to say about the procrate.

The proc works in arena for the full 8 seconds and doesn't share a DR with other stuns.

If you are interested in playing a Dwarf with Old fashioned gear, this is, now, the only choice you have. Every other Mace with this design was eliminated. It is quite expensive. But Dark Iron is not thaaat expensive on most realms. The Stun indeed still works. It just has an extrem low chance on hit. 1 in ~ 5 minutes can be stated as true. Nevertheless, the design is nice. And my dark iron dwarf likes this weapon very much.

Not true. The items "Malown's Slam" and "Stone Hammer" still share this item's model. Not it's color scheme, but its model.

Excellent transmog for [class=6]. Its got that [class=6] dark style :) ( transmogged my [item=90382] to this. so my Mace wouldn't look like a big christmas ball.)
