Demise drops from Heigan the Unclean in Nax 10. Picked it up tonight. It's a very nice upgrade from my Dreadlord's Blade :)

This weapon is like https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=22798#dropped-by from Naxx that is sadly no longer available

With the elimination of the "Feral Attack Power" items (coming next patch), this mace will now be a very popular option for Feral Druids. With full raid buffs and Savage Roar, Strength is one of the best scaling stats for cat druids now, and even Haste has a purpose since Omen of Clarity procs exclusively from white damage.

Comment by Mapex

Weapon is comparable to the Sword of Justice even though the Sword is a blue from a Heroic.

The difference between Demise and the SoJ, when slotted with a 16 Strength blue gem, is:

4 Strength
-2 Stamina
-81 Crit Rating
+45 Hit Rating
+89 Haste Rating
-0.3 Speed

If you do the calculations, you can find out it takes 467 AP on top of the AP granted by the two weapons to have their high end damage match. At 2000 AP at level 80 the Sword of Justice will do ~35 extra damage for each instant strike/proc/etc. Seeing as Death Knights do most of their damage/cause most of their threat with instant melee strikes and spells as opposed to auto attack, the haste is a very weak stat on this item for a DK and the slower swing speed of the Sword of Justice scales better with AP. By the time you can get obscene AP levels to make the Sword of Justice hit significantly harder than Demise, you'll probably find a better epic weapon anyway, though.

I honestly would pass on Demise as a Death Knight unless no one else wanted it, and I'd keep it as a tanking weapon with Rune of Swordshattering because of the huge hit bonus (free weapon enchants are hacks). Before anyone brings up haste being bad because of parrying, most DKs will probably seek out the expertise cap anyway.

This weapon looks best in the hands of a Titan Grip Fury Warrior because of the haste and hit rating (and Feral Druids would benefit just as much, too, when they change FAP in the next patch). Still it would be unheard of if Paladins, Arms Warriors, and Death Knights weren't interested in the weapon at all; it's a great and easy to obtain weapon, I just wish the haste could be replaced with crit and the speed upped to 3.80.

Might of Menethil was cooler just cause of its name ;)

Don't get me wrong. This is a fantastic mace. It could be the old schooler in me, but too see this item go from a crit monster( used to be 2% at lvl 60) to not having any seems kinda wrong to me. I love the hit as a ret pally, and im sure the tg warriors love the hit even more. Seems more geared for warriors though with the haste. I know ret pallys benefit from haste. It may just be me and loving high crit rating, but miss the crit : /

I'll probably gonna duel wield this mace together with https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=39417 ( Death's Bite ) or the hunter-like https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=39393 ( Claymore of Acient Power )

Not sure about my crit-rating at that time, might slap a blabla agility on it? Sadly we don't benefit much from agility. But every agility is some crit I suppose =/

After patch 3.0.8 this will be a decent weapon for feral druids as well.

186.6 DPS = 1842 Feral attack power

very comparable to
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=39255

gain some extra strength and the Hit and haste are very nice.

The staff and this hammer both have the same itemization budget and the hammer has less stam... meaning more budget was used for DPS bonuses.

As a feral I'll be rolling on this hammer.

just got this today for my warrior, dropped of heigan. Very nice mace I would prefer the Claymore of Ancient Power from four horseman. But this mace is very nice and looks cool too.

kyttíe lvl 80 night elf warrior = spinebreaker =

Enchants do not show up on this weapon. At least, Executioner doesn't.

Im Titan's Gripping this on my Warrior ^^ Damage is pretty nice, im normally prot spec, i tryed fury out today and did a 25 OS, i was doing 2.7k dps.

Comment by uthalin2190

as a ret pally would u go with this or the claymore of ancient power?

Comment by 170987

i love the way this weapon looks...mysterious and simple 0.e plus if you wear it with all your old ebon hold gear it makes you look like a lich king elite. just the blue glow =P i luv it too bad it has haste though.

Comment by Gvaz

Save up for a https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=41257 instead if you're a pally.

Comment by 318373

For a fury warrior this weapon is very underwhelming.....I'll take the extra 34Str of the Titansteel Destroyer over the 89 haste on this weapon all day and twice on Sundays.

Comment by 326508

the best 2h mace in all categories in vanila has a poor comeback. It is still one of the best looking weapons out there but it is poorly itemised. While still good its just not as good as the rest 2 handers out there

Comment by Gvaz

Save up for a https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=41257 instead if you're a pally.

Comment by Tessa44

Would this be an upgrade to the Titansteel Destroyer for a Unholy dps deathknight?

Comment by gamerunknown

I have a theory that item's names represent progression... When Naxx gets cleared again, the bosses lose hope that someone will bring a phylactery and res them all. Might of Menethil become's the Lich King's eventual demise, and the King's Fall turns to anarchy.

Comment by 285102

Is this better than a titansteel destroyer for a DK tank in terms of threat? I am sure the TSD is better mitigation.

Comment by 430768

This weapon looks really good to a PvPing or Raiding warrior/ ret pally. The stam. and str speak for themselves, while the +hit is good (if not hit capped). Haste is pretty good as a warrior since we do alot of white auto attacks. Also, if you're arms with mace spec, your attacks ignore 15% of your enemies armor. Pretty good all around weapon for those just starting raiding/ pvping. This would also make a decent DK weapon, although haste rating isn't the most important attribute for them. However the +hit, str, and stam would be pretty nice for any plate dps class.
