Staff or Main Hand/Off Hand?

I’m curious fellow druids, what do you usually raid with?  A staff or a main hand/off hand?  I know, I know “depends on which is better” but I mean, generally speaking do you find that you prefer the stats on one or the other?

Personally I’ve used a staff since mid-BC.  I find that the staves tend to have more stats (spirit, int, etc) than I get in the main/off combo.  Since I don’t stack crit, often a lot of what’s on the maces seems wasted.  I know some druids who play differently than me do care about crit, but as someone who is almost always spamming rejuv/wild growth for raid healing, crit is next to useless.  

Now… if only blizzard would bring out a nice legendary staff for me…. I guess in the meantime I’ll have to keep waiting for the Hodir hard mode staff!  

Anyway, leave a comment and let everyone know what weapons you use!

  1. In BC I ALWAYS used a staff because spirit gave us so much more, but since Wrath I’ve swapped to using a mace and an off hand. It’s Blizz’s fault for nerf’ing spirit so badly… There is just more to be had out of some of the one handed and off hand combinations. Averna and I got in a healthy math debate about it a while back (http://www.nerfthisdruid.com/2009/05/ultimate-ulduar-loot-list-for-trees.html) and she made a follow up post about spirit too.

    It makes me sad because I like the way staffs look more than maces…

    Welcome to the blogwoods! Your site is very pretty. I think we should submit your art to Blizz as what the new tree form should look like. Also, good choice of favicon!
