Phat Loot Phriday: Torchlight Wand
Since Paladins are now just starting to raid in both factions, a lot of Horde casters might find this wand handy. Alliance can get one that's a little better, but if you want mana in raids, this is the wand to find.
Name: Torchlight Wand
Type: Uncommon Wand
Damage / Speed: 14-27 fire / 1.3 (15.8 DPS)
Abilities:
- So what's the big deal about a 16 DPS wand? It's not the damage, it's the speed– it's 1.3, which makes it one of the fastest weapons in the game. There are faster daggers, and the fastest wand is the Consecrated Wand, but that's only available to Alliance from a quest in Duskwood, so this is
theone of these (see Update) fastest wands Horde can get. - So why do you want a fast wand? Because Paladins bring along with them to raids a little spell called Judgement of Wisdom. Whenever they "judge" a mob with it, every attack against that mob has a chance to add mana to the attacker's pool. So if you're a wand user who needs mana from JoW, you want to attack a lot– more attacks mean more chances to gain mana. Enter this, the fastest wand in Westfall.
How to Get It: That's right, I said Westfall. To get it, you'll have to visit Captain Grayson– he's the Captain ghost outside the lighthouse on the southwest coast of Westfall, and he'll give a quest called The Coastal Menace to both Horde and Alliance alike (I know, I thought it was weird too that he gave the quest to Horde, but I went out there last night on my UD rogue and checked just for you, dear readers). All you have to do is kill Old Murk-Eye, an elite named that wanders the coast near there, and the wand is yours. When you're raiding and JoW gets put on a mob, pull this baby out and wand away.
Getting Rid of It: 12s 44c to vendors, DEs into Greater Magic Essence.
Update: CiM points out a few more 1.3 wands in the comments, including a few really nice Outland wands.
