Spellstone or Wand in 2on2

Garimto · July 11, 2008, 03:54 AM

hi guys
im playing 2on2 as sl/sl with a restro druid
what do you think is better the spellstone or a wand?

Barghbq · July 11, 2008, 07:28 AM

In 2's and 3's, I always start with my spellstone equipped then hot-swap it if I'm facing melee / hunter teams or after I use it.

In the 5's, I just stick with my wand because odds are I'm gonna' be the FF target and I need the extra stam/resilience.

Felhunter can do what spellstone can do. Wand are not used for damage anymore, they are more of a stat gear. I will stick with a wand.

The stats on a PvP wand are generally more helpful than what the Spellstone offers you. Let's compare the Spellstone to the Merciless Gladiator's Touch of Defeat, which you can buy for a mere 8000 honor and 10 EotS marks - pretty cheap. The spellstone gives you +1.11% to spell crit, and once per 3 minutes (used 1 - 2 times per average 2v2 match) you can remove all harmfull magic effects. The wand gives you 15 stamina, 13 intellect, 14 resillience, and 16 spell damage. Try taking your Felhunter's Devour Magic off of auto-cast and use something like the following macro:

/cast [modifier:shift, pet:Felhunter, target=X] [pet:Felhunter, target=Y] Devour Magic

- where X = your name, and Y = your partner's name. Now you can remove a magic debuff from you or or partner easily every 8 seconds.

If you think that clearing 1 debuff every 8 seconds is as useful as clearing all your debuffs, I don't really know what to tell you.

Spellstone first, then switch to Wand once it's used (or determined to not be needed).

Spellstone all the way especially if you're nether prot spec. I love getting a nether prot on the last shadow spell from a SP or lock and then wiping them all(except Curse of Agony) and being immune for the follow up. Once used feel free to swap out wand but re eq the spellstone in 1 minute 30 seconds if the fight is going to last more than 3 minutes.

I find this pretty useful...

/use Master Spellstone
/equip <wand name here>

MrUnderpants · July 14, 2008, 08:53 AM

Yep...that macro is the way to go.

Well I tried this macro for a week. I am really disappointed.

The only situation I was smiling was against UA Lock / Shadowpriest, but playing with Felhunter and a Priest at the moment I don't see a point for Spellstones, I regret. Indeed, I *could* save my behind, but actually I can't recall a single match I would have won with a spellstone.

Why not making it? I am a tad short on time (depiste 150 haste): 4 Healthstones, Imp out and gone for Dispell trash, 4 Buff for Dispell trash... It adds up and sometimes gets hectic. Maybe I am just too dumb to see the point.
