Taran Icebreaker on Bear Druid

[Watto44]

I don't know if I'd say either one is better between the Unyielding Maul and the Warden Staff.  The Maul has higher DPS if you have to take a swing or two in caster form, 1 more stamina (10hp) and +12 defense.  The staff, on the other hand, has a faster attack speed and 10 more armor (46 more in dire bear mode).

I've seen Warden Staves prices ridiculously, but as the Unyielding Maul is BoP, a few DM runs usually see one drop.

I have to agree. The differences in stats aren't that meaningful, and the price of a warden staff seems to fluctuate wildly. (The most amusing case I've run across was a rogue who placed it in the AH for 300g. After getting laughed at by just about every horde druid, the rogue gave it - free of charge - to a friend of hers. :rolleyes: ) On the other hand, it doesn't take *that* many tribute runs to get the unyielding maul. If you're looking for a stop-gap, I believe a similar mace drops off the seven dwarve's chest in BRD.
