New in patch 2.3, purchasable for 25 Badge of Justice from G'eras

This is an awesome wand. It actually beats out The Black Stalk (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29350) which is a drop from heroic UB for any non-crit specced caster and perhaps for some crit specced casters that already have high crit.

As compared to The Black Stalk (assuming that you socket this with Glowing Nightseye +6 stam +5 spell damage to take advantage of the socket bonus):

The Black Stalk
157.3 Damage Per Second
10 Stamina
11 Spell Critical Strike Rating
20 Spell Damage/Healing

Carved Witch Doctor's Stick (Glowing Nightseye)
175.7 Damage Per Second
15 Stamina (6 from Glowing Nightseye)
15 Intellect
25 Spell Damage/Healing (5 from Glowing Nightseye 2 from socket bouns)

Overall Carved Witch Doctor's Stick has:
18.4 more DPS
5 more Stamina (with Glowing Nightseye)
11 less Critical Strike Rating
15 more Intellect
5 more Spell Damage/Healing (with Glowing Nightseye)

Also, considering that The Black Stalk drops from a heroic that not very many people actually enjoy doing it is very feasible that the Carved Witch Doctor's Stick will be much easier to get, and it won't be replaced until you reach BT, so get this wand before you start raiding if you possibly can.

Once 2.3 goes live, this will be the best Shadow Priest wand in the game, as determined by the number crunchers over at shadowpriest.com.

http://www.shadowpriest.com/viewtopic.php?t=6594

To clarify, even with just a +9 Runed Living Ruby this wand has more damage than a Flawless Wand of Shadow Wrath, and offers valuable stats as well. If you wish to keep the socket bonus, a Glowing Nightseye will work nicely at bringing the total damage up to +25 and Stamina to +15.

This wand is comparable with endgame raid drops such as:
- Wand of Prismatic Focus (BT, Gurtogg Bloodboil)
- Wand of the Forgotten Star (TK, High Astromancer Solarian)
Just put the gem you need and you'll see same item. With +12 spd gem becomes best shadow priest wand ingame.

Kommentar von BadHobbitz

15 int = 4.14 crit rating (slightly less for locks)

This wand, when socketed with an intellect gem ranging from +4 to +12 (Brilliant Bladestone), is the best evocation wand for a mage after patch 2.3.

Here is a list of 'of intellect' wands which tops out at +18: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/items=2.19&filter=cr=124;crs=0;crv=of+intellect#0-2+1
Here is a list of wands with intellect > 14: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/items=2.19&filter=cr=23;crs=1;crv=14

Since evocation restores 60% of you mana pool and is no longer based on spirit, this IS the best evocation wand in the game. Equiping this wand with a Brilliant Bladestone in the socket will give you 243, (15+12)*15*0.6, more mana back on an evocation than a wand without any +intellect.

If you look at all the wands on wowarmory.com this wand is ranked #1. Thats gotta mean something ;P

Kommentar von Koshica

in 2.3.2, this wand gets its own unique icon/skin, making it look much better.

Kommentar von 104236

You can actually squeeze out two more spell dam at the price of 6 stam if you go with the classic aff lock standby +9 spell dam gem :)

for all you damage gluttons out there :)

Kommentar von frmorrison

Another powerful use of this gem is to help met meta gem requirements (Mystical requires more blue than yellow gems, and Chaotic Skyfire requires 2 blue gems).

Kommentar von Malyonsus

2.3.2 changed the graphic on this apparently.

Kommentar von 31363

This can be a great healing wand as well - stick a Royal Nightseye in it and you get:

+29 healing (assuming the socket bonus applies to damage and healing)
+2 mp5
+15 intellect
+9 stamina

Kommentar von danton83

This wand is actually the best healer wand pre SSC/TK and VERY easy to obtain not to mention the high dps to allow soloing holy priest a nice advantage. The socket bonus DOES apply to healing and damage. Not to mention its one of the only wands when socketed that can get an MP5 boost which is critical for healers. I put in a royal nighteye into it and it rocks. Get another one for your dps set and you wont need any other wand ever even the end game wands arent a HUGE upgrade from this so you could simply finish the game with this awsome wand. Comapre this wand to https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32343 which is a BT drop. only thing to keep in mind if you plan on making it to black temple you should already have your hit rating maxed out.

Kommentar von 109634

its a level 132 item and it only costs 25 badges.. strange

Kommentar von 136489

This is VERY good for mages even that it doesn't have crit it has intellect. Intellect = spell crit for mages and the raw damage is good for frost mages who want to "pimp" their frostbolt. Plus it has an ideal amount of stam for bosses who use AoE DoTs on the raid etc. This wand would probably last you until TK/SSC.

P.S: The graphics are Z'A style. :)

Kommentar von 136695

Interesting - I'm currently in Kara so the Blue Diamond Witchwand may eventually drop for me (if I can outroll the other healers!), and I have enough badges for this one.

So which do I choose? I'm saving badges for some other sweet things like Gavel of Naaru Blessings and I don't PvP, so I'm not going to get the Gladiator stuff.

Any advice for a Disc/Holy priest?

Kommentar von kahdgarxi

I hope you're not trying to max crit for healing. =/

Kommentar von 47259

What I want to know, is how does this do for a mage without access to BT/MH/SWP now that 2.4 is out with the new loot and all.

Kommentar von Vathos

I'm a Shadow Priest who just cleared Kara with my Guild and I purchased this Wand due to my guildmates' advice. Now I'm just deciding what gem to place in it. Any suggestions?

Kommentar von 85059

anyone got any idea if this is any better overall than the https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=28673?

i mean, if one is low on +spell hit rating, is this better?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Only two wand in this game with socket. Carved Witch Doctor's Stick is one of them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Arguably the best wand in the game, at least for spell damage lovers. Put an epic +12 dmg gem in it (my current setup, in fact), and you have a wand with the most spell damage in the game. Wand of the Forgotten Star off of High Astromancer Solarian and Wand of Prismatic Focus off of Gurtogg Bloodboil might be better in some ways, but since I'm already hit capped, this is actually the better choice. The crit from the Wand of the Forgotten Star is alluring, but a socket's versatility beats regular stats anyday.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Add a +18 heal gem into this and you have 2 secound best +heal wand in game only one better is from BT

Kommentar von Thottbot

Imagine stuffing a Don julio's heart (unique) up this thing... that'd be sick.
It's even good when you just stick an ordinary blue gem up there (socket bonus)
The only problem with this thing is that it doesn't really give any other stats, but for an affliction lock (PvP) this looks like the ultimate wand.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Has a new graphic as of 2.3.2 ! Looks like it came out of Zul'Aman.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm thinking for an Affliction Warlock the best choices might be a 12 damage gem, a Prismatic 15 Stam, a Blue 12 Stam, or a 6 Stam 6 Spell Damage. IMO its a matter of what fits your playstyle or goals, but as I love large-scale PvP you can't beat 12 Stam.

Kommentar von Thottbot

when i first saw this had a socket initially i was thinking about putting a +9 damage gem (red) as i just wanted a lot of spell damage. then i thought about a glowing nights eye. 6stamina and 5 spell damage and i would get the socket bonus of 2 spell damage. putting me at 7 spell and 6 stamina. this was much better imo. sacrificing 2 damage for 60 HP.

on the other had you could sick a +12 spell damage gem and say screw the bonus. theres a few options one is a 400-700G gem and one is the pvp one thats just under 7000 honor (6885) theres some others i think but i guess its personal preference.

either way its a great wand for a good price hands down.

Kommentar von Thottbot

also

i want to compare this to the wand i have now. S1 gladiators touch of defeat wich alot of people have.

GTOD:

223 - 414 Fire Damage Speed 1.90
(167.6 damage per second)
+15 Stamina
+11 Intellect
Durability 75 / 75
Requires Level 70
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 12 (0.3%).
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 14.

CWDS:

184 - 343 Shadow Damage Speed 1.50
(175.7 damage per second)
+9 Stamina
+15 Intellect
Blue Socket
Socket Bonus: +2 Spell Damage
Durability 75 / 75
Requires Level 70
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 18.

i want to talk about this with a Glowing nights eye (5 spell damage and 6 stamina)

now the comparison

GTOD CWDS
------------------
Dps 167.6 < 175.7
Stam----15 = 15
Inte------11 < 15
SpDm---14 < 25
resi------12 > 00
------------------
unless you really need the 12 resil. save your honor and marks. just run some heroics.
