The Golden Iron Destroyer firmly occupies the middle ground between the Solid Iron Maul and the Massive Iron Axe.

Overall it's a nice piece of gear with good DPS, good stat bonuses, and most notably quite a high speed for a 2-handed weapon. However it is much less common than either of the other two weapons I mentioned above for a number of reasons.

First of all the plans are drop only, and not all smiths care to shell out cash for overpriced schematics on the AH. Second, unlike its cousins the Destroyer requires rare ore *and* gemstones to construct. Lesser moonstones aren't the most expensive gems out there but they don't drop all that often and buying them at auction does cut into profit margins. Finally if a player is already using a Solid Iron Maul and is a smith or is friends with one, he may not be inclined to acquire a Destroyer when he can get a Massive Iron Axe only a few levels later anyway.

That being said the Destroyer is a perfectly good weapon in its own right, and if you are in a position to acquire one it will serve you well.

While this maul is really, really good, the solid Iron maul is better for most pallys because it is slower and therefore SoC procs at a higher rate.

where are the plans dropped?

I hate myself.

This dropped for me off a Kurzen Medicine Man in Stranglethorn Vale the other day, and being only lvl 33 I had no use for it, so I sold it.

for 1G!

Should have known how much it was worth XD

...quite simply. It's incredible for my shaman(who is Parry-specced, working on NS/Parry for now) as it's fast enough to land a lot of crits and Windfury-crits. And it looks incredibly cool, too.

this is a good mace, ive been using it since lvl 29, added a +7dmg to it too. now im a lvl 34 NE druid and this thing STILL comes in handy, if im not using my sliverblade, im using this. NICE WEAPON.

I'm going to make one of these with my blacksmith warrior as soon as I reach lvl 29. I'm planning on putting an iron counterweight on it, or maybe an enchant if I feel like forking out the money. This weapon looks awesome, and the mats aren't THAT hard to get...might make one for my paladin too.
