Wow Powerleveling-Phat Loot Phriday: Dirk of the Night Watch

Part of the problem was, I didn"t have an axe or polearm. Heck, I didn"t even have a mace. Swords? Yeah, I had swords up the wow powerleveing. Unfortunately, swords are not good for Arms. This is because Sword Specialization is just plain inferior to Poleaxe Specialization. Sad but true, the once might Sword Spec is now hampered by an internal wow powerleveing service that prevents the ability from proccing twice in close succession, meaning that at most you"ll get an extra attack that might be a crit and then nothing for 45 seconds.

Compare that to Poleaxe"s 5% crit bonus and 5% more damage from each crit, with no messy hidden cooldown so that the more wow powerleveing chance you have, the more chances you have to do more damage with each crit. Sword spec is so bad it"s getting buffed in the 3.2.2 patch, and yet even doubling the chance for an extra hit doesn"t seem to excite most dyed in the wool arms players.

Although Justicebringer still won"t drop for us I did manage to snag myself an axe this week and decided to play around with Arms again in wow powerleveing.
