Fist of Reckoning

Level 70 requirement seems out of place, ilvl 88 with that DPS should be low 60s...

Yeah this item doesn't seem to fit a level 70 requirement, grand marshall level 60 swords are quite a bit better.

This does indeed have an equip level of 70, but according to the GMs this is working as intended, as little weight as that carries. How do I know? A boar dropped it for me :/

The drop rate is quite high, a guildie found it, and my friend found one the same day. And the day after, i found one. It seems like a world drop though, since my friend got it from a random mob, and i found it in an instance.

This should really be a level 60, not 70 bind on equip blue. Whether or not they fix the type soon remains to be seen ;)

Spoke with a GM. Gave me the "We are aware of this issue..." line. So it would appear that they know about it. Dropped at Zeth'gor for me off one of the guards. Thought it was odd a lvl 70 req item would drop off a lvl 61 mob.

You know, if they get around to fixing this (should be Requires Level 61) it would be an excellent mace for Rogues at that level, particularly Hemo.

This item is supposedly mis-labeled. In the upcoming patch it will become a level 61 item to use, not level 70. Otherwise they'll increase the stats, because it certainly doesn't meet typical level 70 stats. Likely though they'll just lower the required level to use it.

I kinda dig the idea that BoEs should be "cheap" instance replacements; I got this blue mace off some random mob while levelling in Zangarmarsh (at lv62ish, didn't know I could find lv70 loot then), and since my main is a rogue and maces are already good if they've got the right DPS and all (very nice for PvP too with the talented stun spec), but the DPS sucks. I can't word it otherwise, a blue mace that requires lv70 should have at least 10 more DPS than this thing has.

Patch 2.0.10 tems * Corrected the level requirement of the "Fist of Reckoning". But I can't log on test realm :(

As of 3/6/2007 level req is 61

Confirmed. Quite a good weapon for its level, as well.

Excellent leveling weapon for enh shammies. I got 2 of them in the bank at the moment, probably makes for some massive stormstrikes.

This weapon has a pulsing black glow that overrides the Windfury buff animation.

actually, all the Shaman weapon buff effects don't display

The glow overrides anything that normally causes a glow, same with all weapons that have their own glow.

[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28768]Malchazeen[/url] has a red and a black glow, however enchants and item effects [u]DO[/u] show.

This weapon is a must for any enhancement shaman. Dual wielding these maces will make you a grinding monster until you hit 70 and get some upgrades. Possible upgrades: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25764#M0z http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27533#M0z http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28392#M0z

got this mace from a Teromoth in terokkar forest just outside the thicket...sold for a much needed 45g

As an enhancment shammy should I dual wield 2 of those till 70? Or should I switch to 2 x [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31153]Axe of the Legion[/url] at level 63? Thanks for your advice!

DW these. Axe of the legion is too fast

Actually Enh shaman should have a faster main hand and a slower off hand, to maximize main hand windfury procs. So, keep this in your off hand and use Axe of the legion in your main hand.

Thats completely untrue I'm afraid. Its been proven time and again that to provide the highest possible WF uptime that the ideal weapon speeds for an enhancement shaman are 2.60/2.60, 2.70/2.70 or a 2.70/2.60 mix. DW'ing these is a highly viable tactic until the level 70 instances are reached or upgrades found via the AH.

I have 2 of these sitting in the bank for my level 50 shaman when she hits 61. Question is, what would be better to put on these... 20 str on both, 20agi on both or a combination, or something different altogether? My main is an enchanter with entirely too many enchanting mats, so cost or mats aren't a problem. Plan on using these from 61 to 70 so an enchant on each isn't totally a waste of money. Thanks.

20 Strength on both would be better

Well i have to say this is a really good weapon, especialy if you have dual wield (shamans, rogues, warrs). I have 2 of these on my lvl 61 shaman and i can do uber dmg with stormstrike. I got both on ah one for 20g and one for 60g. Recommended for shamies!!

Hav'nt seen in AH for while =(

My m8 just sold it for 150g !! Isn't there really other alternatives? God I'm jealous :P

The best alternative is the High Warlord one handers. 24k honor and 40 ab tokens gets you 2 of these: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18866

24k honor and 40ab tokens?!? Save your honor and tokens and just buy this sucker from the AH for 60g which is what I just did.

Depends on what you have available. I've been looking for this or even axe of the legion for my shaman for a week. You can farm up those HWL axes in less than that.

By the time you farm that honor at that level you could be halfway or more through 60-70 had you been leveling instead.

I have 2 of these in the bank for when i hit lvl 61 :D when you hit 65 you can do the ring of blood quest in nagrand to get a good mainhand fistweapon, and these 2 weapons will last till lvl 70 :)

Just got one today from a mob in Blood Furnace. The stats say its definitely a ENH shaman weapon. Nice and slow for higher top end damage.

I got kinda suprised when I saw that this weapon were for lvl 61... Cuz when I looted it, right after TBC was realesed this was a lvl 70 item... And I sold it for ~~30g at ah. Now I see that this would be worth around ~100g when TBC was realesed...

The Worg Master from the Bleeding Hollow drops it too, I got it from him

This weapon is ideal for warrior whirlwinding, sunders, heroic strikes, and cleave. great generator of threat and damage. The stats on it are great, it's slow speed however really make it work beautifully for hammering out those hits.

Definitely worth buying one for ench shammy, rogue and fury warrior. Two are nice too but not really needed as you can just fill it with quest items (OH do only 50% damage [75% for rogues/62.5% fury warriors with correct talents]) and at 65 you get fist MH from Ring of Blood anyway.

All in all you will use it as MH until 65 and as OH until 70 (especially as ench shaman because weapon itemization sucks for them).

Can be found in Ramparts chest.. found this out wile having game master "god mode" on (what it said when i attempted to cast blessings on myself) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGw3Wg3cnD8 @ 3min53sec shows me looting the chest with fist inside.

Got this and http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18844 on my enhance shammie!

this weapon is really good for leveling enhance shamans... dual crusaders is ftw on it... massive WF crits... happens all the time on my Shaman. and the crusader only drops on healing effect, i got it just for the +100 Strength.

Nope, strenght and healing reduces with every level up beyond 60. But even so it's always better than potency.

What is the better choice for an Enhancement Shaman? This or [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31153]Axe of the Legion[/url]?

Fist of Reckoning would be considered better primarily for Stormstrike and now Lava Lash hits.

While this used to make a very rare appearance on AH (Darkspear) for 100G+ you can hardly sell them for 50G anymore. Still, it was an absolute blast to DW these as a 61 combat mace rogue (back when maces were fun and proc'd stuns).

I just bought two of these, both for 49g. Chanted with +50ap to each and now their on my shammy. Haven't had a chance to test em out yet, but that hit rating is nice at 61, so hopefully I won't be missing as much XD.

Sold this for 100G at Auchidon. 5 minutes later, a buyer was found. Must be a good weapon then?

This just dropped from a Hellboar in Hellfire Peninsula. Couldn't believe it ....:D Very nice as I'm enh shaman.

Ironic that this is a Mace and not a Fist Weapon.

Not ironic, just odd. It would be ironic if it were a pair of boots.
