I have yet to find a single weapon that has made this transition. The patch notes state "Most Main-Hand weapons are now One-Hand weapons". Yet I have found a few weapons that have went the complete opposite going from One-Handed to Mainhand e.g The Maelstrom's Fury, Terrokk's Gavel.

I figured i would post it to let you know if you didn't already.

Q u o t e:
The Maelstrom's Fury

I'm pretty sure this was intended... there are no caster "one handed" weapons, on purpose.

---

Q u o t e:
Terrokk's Gavel

---

There are two versions of this weapon, no?

One that is "DPS" (71+dps), which is "One-Handed"... the other is caster (41dps) and MH only.

I don't believe this was intended The maelstrom's fury dual wielded was a nice adjustment for the hybrid shaman, thus why i posted.

It's kinda of biased if "caster" weapons are excluded. But, it isn't caster weapons alone that haven't recieved this update there are still numerous melee based weapons that haven't recieved this change.

Seeing how the Patch notes are so vague in the respect of describing the adjustment i was hoping to get some clarification as to if it was specific to a peticular brand of weapon, e.g axes, maces, etc., or if it was damage type based such as melee or caster.

Yes there are 2 versions of that mace off Terrokk.

Caster weapons were not changed intentionally.

I'm not quite sure how to take this post because either i'm really tired and this post says the didn't mean to or this post says they were intentionally left out.

I can see how it is ambiguous, but I'm fairly certain he means "Caster weapons were intentionally not changed" - ie, they intended them to remain (or become) MH.

(I could be wrong, of course)

this is my problem though because The Maelstrom's Fury wasn't a mainhanded weapon nor was Terrok's Gavel. I can handle every other spell dmg weapon on mainhand but don't take the only remaining 2 that make the 30/31/0 shaman spec practical

Its most likely not intended for a 30/31 spec to be practical

There are no one-hand caster weapons anymore intentionally, stop being thick. This was a direct nerf to the 30/31 shaman spec last patch. Why would they nerf our ability to duel-weild some caster weapons to achieve higher spell damage levels one patch and then revert it the next. Shaman were never intended to be able to DW caster weapons, it was more or less a fun bug. Get used to only being able to use one-weapon and a shield/off hand like every other caster.

Maelstrom's Fury has been one-hand only for a few weeks now. How did you not notice?

There's a lvl 68 green/uncommon one-handed Axe that can get the modifier "Of the Sorcerer" thats the closest to dual-wielding spell damage weapons as your going to get.

MS/Deathwish mean anything to you?

Just my 2 cents worth...for the record I'm resto, don't even have dual wield, so I don't use anything but main hand weapons anyway, these are my thoughts on why caster weapons are main hand only. Shamans almost always use "caster" weapons (especially if they are hybrid elemental/enhancement or enhancement/restoration spec)...they have enough in elemental to give them decent spell dmg, and spec far enough into enhancement to get dual wield (other combination would be enough in enhancement to get dual wield and enough in resto to get "decent" healing). Granted this combination probably isn't too common (resto in particular would be missing earth shield, which is vital for a shaman healer), but it could happen. Therefore I'm assuming that the reason caster weapons are main hand only is so shamans can't "double up" on caster weapons to get much higher +spell dmg or +healing than they could normally with items of a particular item level. It would be pretty sad if, by doubling up on +healing weapons, you could actually end up healing better than a pure resto shaman with the same level of gear.
