Looks like Mages get to use swords again:
Maldo's Sword Cane
+
Book of Binding Will
vs
Chelley's Staff of Dark Mending
... Very close in numbers, but I see the Sword+OH winning
-5 less intellect, 1 less spell power. But 2 more mastery, 99 crit, and 143 hit. Couldn't find a better Staff, so the whole "it has spirit thing"... meh.

Don't forget you can also enchant off-hand to add 100 int, 40 int after the patch. Meaning that staves will need more int for them to be better then MH+OH.
I also don't see the where you get 2 more mastery unless you reforge some of the spirit on that staff into mastery. Don't forget you also get 143 more haste with the Sword+Book.

They have always been able to use swords? Or I'm not sure about vanilla but.. yeah.

I'd reckon he's refering to Mages using Swords over Daggers/Staves again? Not that that makes any more sense.

I was referencing BC actually. Still, love the idea of sword+oh for a Mage.

Is better. Still, see sword+oh prevailing.
