More int, More Haste, 2 Slots, less crit and ignore the Spirit.

Why should we use MH + OH when a staff is better by far and we can wear it o,o? Just a question maybe i miss something.

should work on a staff as well.

Sure if you are using Midnight sun and Bulwark of Smouldering Steel, Dying Light will be a upgrade:

+2 sockests -> 40 haste + 15 haste = 55 haste
- 22sp
- 60 crit
-28 mp5
( and some int/SP from enchants)

So yes i see your point, since Trauma is missing haste, but dont forget that we havnt see the loot table for the lich king yet.

Personelly i will be focusing on haste & crit on my gear, so i can use trauma in my MH.

In a raiding guild you always have to think ahead, even if a spirit staff is BiS, i would still let mages/locks/Spriests and boomkinds have theirs first. Just cause we can use a weapon doesnt mean we have to. It might be good for us, but better for someone else ( since they dont waste points on spirit).

hope that made a bit sense
