Runic Hammer

Mats have been reduced. Now 10xKhorium, 10xFelsteel, 8xMight, and 2xNethers, so two Primal Nethers fewer than before. Not much of a difference, but means you'll be paying less for the craft, and find someone with the spare Nethers more easily.

I think you meant to say its still at 2 Primal Nethers. ALL plans in the final push did not have their nether requirements changed, but are still left with a few mats switched around. Thats why wowhead has not reported the change either. Its confusing.

In september this was true, now there are plenty of alternatives such as the Decapitator, Fool's Bane, and even the Season 1 weapons are superior to this, easily.

I tend to agree that it's not ideal for rogues. It's good, don't get me wrong, but not ideal. Here's why: Yes, we know that weapon normalization exists. So lets skip that. What we do know is that 2 weapons side by side with equal dps, and different speeds, the slower will hit harder. With rogues, since we use a lot of instant attacks, you want a hard hitter. The two blue maces, Bloodskull Destroyer, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28210 and Grand Marshall Pummeler http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28951 whilst not as good, are very similar, almost as good, and lack the financial blow of this weapo

This mace is Good for Rogues, not so much for hemo rogues but combat Ss rogues its verry nice. 2.40 speed is the normalized speed for Ss. But if you want to use this for a offhand its too slow, you miss out on combat potency procs as well as poison procs. Stick to a fast offhander and mainhand this wep.

I guess you never play in arenas. Combat mace spec is one of the most useful rogue specs right now.

For Combat Rogues? No. Try the Dirge dagger: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23555 Improved backstab has a much higher energy:dps ratio than sinister strike, combat daggers will out damage sinister strike on single target dps over time.

8 Primal Might:

80 mote of earth
80 mote of water
80 mote of air
80 mote of fire
80 mote of mana

10 Felsteel Bar:

60 fel iron ore
40 etherium ore

10 Khorium Bar:

20 khorium ore

4 primal nether

That's the raw material you need

Even though in the PTR's they had it under 4 Primal Nethers, the live realms have it as 4 Primal Nethers. Also I have been hearing that since the patch (before restart), some items that were made didn't consume full materials required. Expect some weird things while crafting.

Great main hand and Off hand for enhancement shamans... Hard to get and very expensive but very much worth it Shaman in my guild has two of these one with mongoose and he is one of the top people on the dps charts.

Outstanding Main-Hand weapon for a Fury Warrior. Slow, very high top-end, lots of attack power (add a +20 strength enchant for 90 AP.)

I have half the mats required to make this -- it will go very nicely with my Fireguard (+5 Weapon Dmg Enchant.) Fireguard is high dps and fast for the OffHand and Runic Hammer will be great for the Main Hand Heroic Strike etc.

Wow... I have to agree. This is simply the best BoE 1H for an Enchancement Shaman/Fury War/Combat Rogue.
Hands down, the matts may be a little expensive, but atleast you dont need to be a blacksmith to get it. Truely Awsome

This is actually a great OH weapon for a DW enhancement Shammy.

You think the mats are expense now? Wait until patch 2.1.0 comes out, the mats have changed and doubled in price, including 10 Khorium bars.

Planar Edge as main hand.. but I cant figure out which is better for offhand this hammer or Fel Edged Battleaxe.. for shaman

I just made my second one on my shaman and they are godly;s axesome dps not that hard to get that mats, get em while they are cheap!

Fel edged Battleaxe would be better imo unless u can find better ways to gain +Hit rating for duel wielding

werry nice mace indeed. nice and slow good top end...

the problem is getting it crafted! iw grinded the primals and bought the bars.....now i have be trying to find a blacksmith that can make it and has the primal nethers. Pretty anoing...

Would this be a better weapon then http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23542 for an Enhancement shammy?

yeah it would be better because of the slow speed which gives you more time between your windfury procs to let it proc again without any wasted auto attacks

This is TERRIBLE for a mace rogue, too fast to mainhand and too slow to offhand.

lol you're talking about it like it's a viable pve weapon. It's not. Not for rogues. It'd be much better to get a blue sword or dagger.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23542#comments this discussion is about feledge battleaxe where I ask why shammies are begging for the axe than the hammer. Some valid replies there would be welcome. Thnx Fatal

crafting this on yersa server horde side

Who needs + hit in pvp.. :D:D
amazing crits on this baby.. and with some item nerfs to mainhand, i think this is as good as it gets..

I'm a blacksmith with this recipe on Emeriss. While I used to be able to sell my hammers right away, noone wants them anymore because of the expensive mats and how easy it is to obtain arena gear :(
