More fun than you can shake a blunt instrument at

There I was, with some Primal Fire and Earth burning large holes in my pockets and several interesting stack of metals. Curious as I was, I set about cobbling together something that I could use. Well bugger me sideways with a pitchfork if I didn't go and make this. Now it just so happened that I had kept a mace from an earlier quest for just such an eventuality so I decided to put it to good use. Coughing up 15 of my hard earned gold, I respecced for maces and I can honestly say I've not had so much fun with both hands still on the keyboard. With the Haste aspect proccing regularly and SnD up, I was hitting as fast as I did with the daggers for silly amounts of damage, regular stuns just made it all the more fun.

Once my mace skill was maxed, I did a run through Old Hillsbrad to help out some people to get to BM for attunement. Whilst laughing maniacally at the insane damage I was putting out, I happened to notice that several procs had triggered at once. Rage of the Unraveller, Unleashed Fury (yay for Shammies), SnD and Haste all combined at once (2200+AP and 1.45/1.08 attack speed, RAWR!). For 10 seconds of pure, unbridled killing machine, something that I had not experienced on my character before. Needless to say, I had to go lie down in a darkned corner for a few moments afterwards.

I discovered something about my character last night; for 60 levels I had remained the same spec (with only a few minor tweaks along the way) and after a couple of hours last night with this new spec I was left with a smile on my face. Dagger spec was fun and backstabbing for 2k+ always made me grin, but the pure savagery I unleashed last night with my new toys left me grinning from ear to ear.

So guys, if you are struggling to find a reason to play your favourite toon, try a respec; you never know it might just be the thing that you are looking for.

I respecced Arcane after TBC, and although I really enjoy Slow, AP and PoM, I gotta say I'm going back to good ol' Full On Fire pretty soon. It's the damage, baby.
