Author: 1H Weapons There will be Strength, Agi and Int one-handers in Cataclysm.
I was more asking if we will have any strength one handers in 4.0 before Cataclysm hits. There will be that strange and wonderful period in between changing over the classes but before the world changes. That is always an interesting time, but balance will have to be adjusted in so many different ways that we’re not too worried about what will happen if Str one-handers do or don’t exist. You’ll probably replace any level 80 items long before balance really matters again.
Will there still be tank weapons since Defense as a stat is going away? We will still make weapons with Stamina and perhaps hit on them. They may not be as valuable as tanking weapons are today without defense, but that’s probably not a bad thing. We won’t make a ton of them in any case since half the tank classes don’t want them.
Will there be int one handers with spirit on them? I like swords. There will be healer weapons, but those are unlikely to be swords since 3 healing classes can’t use them. Mages and locks will have no need for Spirit.
Currently holy paladins have the option of wielding a caster mace or sword. Why don’t they itemize a 2handed healing mace (usable by everyone except priests) or allow them to wield 1 handed daggers? The intent is that Holy paladins use a mace and shield to heal. There may be occasional more unusual weapons — we made a spellpower fist in Naxxramas for instance.
