oh man, i want both of those healers damn it xD
i'll probably level a priest and a palladin. but first, the priest ! to get my Benediction ;3

Another big reason to go priest! The staff you would most likely never replace!
I was sporting a lvl 57 green staff from dire maul until I replaced it with Benediction!
Basically you dont need to hunt for anything but this staff!
I would pass on every staff, main hand/off hand combo to my guild mates that needed it even though it would be a huge upgrade for me.
But knowing I would soon get BiS staff, for most people, it was worth helping my other guild mates to gear up.
Plus helps me save dkp for other items!

It's iconic and very very high quality staff all in one...and can you say one of the best looking items in the game!

oh ye speaking of changing the wep, is it better than AQ/NAXX wesps ?! in terms of raw stats and effect (regardless of having 2 wep stances in 1 item)

also ! as Kazzak won't release in phase1, i wonder if the demons in winterspring will still drop the Eye of Shadow ?! they have like <1% chance, but still farmable.
it should drop right ?! because the Eye of Divinity drops from MC which is in phase 1 aswell !

EDIT: The eye will drop off the demons at launch but you will need to wait for Kazzak in phase 2 to get his 100% drop rate eye.

There are few upgrades in AQ40 and NAXX.
I think AQ40 has a main/off thats better and naxx has the legendary staff as well as the one that drops off kel'thuzad

But depending how far you go in those raids, you will need to fight for them and like i stated (personally) its worth fighting for non weapon upgrades since Benediction is still pretty damn good in naxx!

Plus I would never upgrade (personally) the time you put in the quest the look of the staff, the iconic weapon, I couldnt swap it out...I mean how could you!?!?

Plus this staff has the benefit of being two staves in one!

and i probably won't change it ;p, it does look so god damn amazing and BIG af
