Humor / Meme Are we still arguing over Whirlwind weapons? Because this is what peak performance REALLY looks like!

I probably kept mine until 53, 54. Didn't have any better 2h drops and wasn't using dw at the time.

So, for warrior you can get

  • bonebitter from quest for SM (alliance only)
  • Executioner's Cleaver which you can get from AH and it will be pretty much bis up to 60
  • rockpounder/stoneslayer from uldaman,
  • there is nice 2h in BRD

and some more. The point of why WW is so strong is that you can get it at level 30, and at level 30 this weapon is bonkers (corpsemaker, the blue 2h axe for level 29 so in theory 1 level less, have 29 dps vs 35 of WW weapons)

WW axe isn’t even worth getting on alliance because of Bonebiter

but you can’t really get bonebiter till 38ish cause you gotta kill all the SM bosses

I would not take rockpounder over WW. Mace spec is just so incredibly inferior to the others. Stoneslayer is a relatively low drop rate at the end of a longer than average dungeon, and even with many runs, you might not get it. Executioners cleaver is very nice, but if it's your first character on the server, it's probably not worth the gold for you. Either save or invest it instead.
Kang the decapitator is in the same boat.
Gatorbite axe from mara is on the fast side, but probably eeks out WW just barely, and has a very decent drop rate.

The WW axe also isn't a drop. You specifically went to farm it.
