Adventures in 2-Handed-ry

So I petitioned the GMs on Friday night and lo and behold, my trusty Hammer of the Naaru was restored to me on Saturday morning. Along with the aforementioned Reputation Vendor Retribution Epics, a set of boots from Kael'Thas, and a chest from Zul'Amam and a couple of nice rings from Rep Vendors, I was able to build Ulushnar a semi-decent physical DPS set. The only problem is it didn't help with my soloing that much.

Ok, I was able to deal more damage for less mana with Retribution gear, but I was taking more damage, so my downtime was basically unaltered. To be truly effective, Retribution gear needs a spec to match, with all the crit bonuses, Seal of Command and Crusader Strike.

So in the end I reneged and went back to soloing in my Spelldamage gear. Then last night, a crafter in my guild mentioned he'd just got the recipe for the Hammer of Righteous Might. A quick visit to the AH and the bugging of several CD alchemists saw me with the Primal Mights for it, and it was sitting in Ulu's mailbox this morning.

Initial impressions are pretty nice. It gives my Seal of Righteousness a healthy boost, and it synergises nicely with my existing gear. I'm hoping to enhance this in the near future by picking up the Gladiator's Aegis PVP set when the Sunwell Armory opens.
