Does anyone know if weapon speed affects druids?
ie - This one is "Speed 3.60"
In comparison to the Vicious Gladiator's Staff which has a speed of 2.00

Unsure about the new changes, and really confusing since they changed druid's AP and allowed our weapon damage to affect our DPS

but the dmg range are differ on the staff and pike

Comment by fedas15

Weapon speed doesn't effect druids, only the weapon dps dose. In everything that matters the pike and staff are identical.

He is correct in this matter. Even if you get the talent Fury Swipes that states it does "weapon damage" that weapon damage is actually the melee damage you do in either form, so the weapon speed of the weapon will not matter. It will basically do 2.5 times more damage in bear form than in cat form, as bear form attacks 2.5 times slower.
I actually picked up the pike instead of the staff because before i knew this information I thought it was actually based off of weapon damage. I would prefer the staff over this pike, as i like the look better, and enchanting effects don't seem to show up on the pike. Although it's too late for me, I'm not about to waste 3400 conquest points just to get something i would prefer according to the looks.

For a feral druid, choosing between the staff and pike are based purely on aesthetic preferences.

Some things I want to know about this pike:
1. How does it sheath? Pike up, or pike down?
2. Are enchants visible?

I received this pike as a quest reward for turning in the quest "The Blackmaw Doublecross" in Azshara. It was a choice of three quest rewards. Seriously, No Joke! Oh and I was level 22 at the time.

The cost seems to have gone up from 3400 conquest points to 4600. Bummer...

I'm a bit disappointed, that Blizzard didn't gave the hunters a lower dam, but statwise same weapon, for a lower price, as they did before cataclysm! Hunters dont really need to hit, or do damage with their melee wep...so i really dont see why the hunter class doesn't get its 'cheap' version as before! (They have to pay 6800 conquest points for the bow/gun/xbow + this pike compared to the other classes, who get their relic/wand etc. for 700 - wich they also dont use its just there for the stat inc.).

Seasonal Honor Requirement
As of Patch 4.2 iLevel 359 PvP weapons available for Honor Points* requires that the buyer earn at least 7,250 honor "during the season" before purchase. Basically this means that you need to acquire 7,250 in total honor before a new tier of PvP gear is made available to players, these weapons are mothballed, and your "seasonal" honor reset. You do not lose unspent honor at the end of a season when tracking resets. You can view the amount of Honor you have earned during the season in your Currency tab in the character frame.

Just starting out?
Plan your purchases accordingly. Since main hand weapons typically require 3,400 honor, you'll want to spend the difference of 3,850 (7,250 Honor - 3,400 Honor = 3,850 Honor for other gear) on some other useful combination of gear without going over to ensure you have sufficient honor available to buy your weapon once you meet your season requirement.

You can buy any combination of 1,650 and 2,200 honor pieces to optimize your honor spending. For example, the PvP headpiece and gloves or headpiece and shoulders of your respective class add to exactly 3,850, meaning you will not waste any honor on your way to acquiring your new weapon.

*Honor Points are awarded by participating in PvP content, including but not limited to killing opposite faction members, achieving PvP objectives such as weekly Wintergrasp quests, and participating in Battleground and Arena wins.

Do you think I should buy the pike first over the bow? I only have 3k resil so I'm thinking an extra 220 resil would help me a little bit more than the damage from the bow since I already have mandokir's tribute

Character-specific questions - indeed, dialogue in general - is better suited to the forums. This page is to discuss Vicious Gladiator's Pike, specifically.

Questions regarding gear will depend heavily on your other gear, spec, race, resources, and goals (Arena/BG/RBG). For example, if you're a MM or SV hunter and not human, you're better off buying a trinket. You might have an i333 stat stick, in which case this might be the more appropriate upgrade. So you see, there is too little information to make a recommendation, which is why the forums are a better place for such questions. Here are a few forum suggestions given the nature of your question:

Wowhead Hunter Forums
Wowhead PvP Forums
Huntsman's Lodge Forums - Blogger Garwulf is an active PvP Hunter
Blizzard Arena PvP Forums
Arena Junkies - For all things PvP
The Hunting Party Podcast - You can try sending these folks an e-mail; Euripides is an active PvP Hunter

Good luck and happy gaming!
