am i gimping myself stats by using 1h mace n offhand or should i be using a staff ??? i looked on some pvp website n it says a staff but idk for sure .
Compare the stats, and compare the options with offhand.
Which Stat do you need/want more?
Is there a crafted piece with proc that may work for off hand?
i was just browsing this site but idk if its super accurate to go off of

hm idk about crafted would those be better then the ranked pvp weapons?
hm it looks like for pvp i need int >verse>haste >mast
currently my pvp weapons are the crimson’s aspirant gavel not fully upgraded just yet n the crim glad horn offhand the stats seem ok to me but im just not sure if im allowed diversity in weapons or am i going to b hard stuck into staffs just want to know before i grind all this honor for main /offhand really
also i was peeking at this site and they both say a staff!!!

so i guess maybe i grinding out the wrong weapons ! hmmm or does it matter !!! >.< 
Whatever weapons your class can equip are viable weapons with you, with debatable exceptions. E.G warriors using daggers. Although some warriors have an entire thread dedicated to a haste stacking annihilator pve build with SMF 2x daggers lol.
As a caster, it’s just stat weight. What do you value more.
hmmm true tbh i thought all this time that using 1h sword and offhand would be using reduced stats compared to the staff itself so hmm
As a general rule of thumb, assuming nothing has changed. Stats have more raw stats (int stam) less 2ndary stats. not sure if this is still accurate.
It’s always better to theory craft these things yourself.
As helpful as the sites are they push for content as fast as possible.
In regards to seeing what players are using is useful, but again once Rextroy puts out a video everything changes. Rough example.
The conquest weapons have the same amount of int regardless of if you do 1h/oh or staff. The staff has 1 stamina more for some reason.
The biggest difference is getting different secondaries, especially since you have the option to pick different secondaries on your 1h and oh vs. just the 1 stat on the staff. Both the conquest and wPvP staff have haste but you can get mixtures of crit, mastery or haste if you mix and match the conquest and wpvp 1h and oh items.

Hmm so which ones do most evoker healers prefer would the crit in the offhand be more useful then the extra stam the staff gives ? I just want to make sure I’m taking the time to grind out the correct weapons so my heals can perform even better then they are currently. Esp for when I eventually try to do rbgs to gear up want to make sure I’m gearing correctly.
