What is in your opinion the "longevity" of a weapon like this one? Won't it for example just be outdated by the new 1.8k rating weapons? I say this because even if normally if you don't think you'll get that rating, you pay at the most 2k to someone to boost you in 2s.

What do you guys think?

Thank you
If you PvP, you probably have at least 2 more seasons before Cataclysm comes out, so you'll probably replace it sooner rather than later.

If you don't, the only gear that can top it will come from the new wings (opening today, I think), and Arthas, and we have'nt seen his drop table yet - and if there's no new patch between now and the next exp, then they're a good investment. Assuming Blizzard doesn't throw out a Mag's Terrace on us between now and Cata - they said no more major patches, but who knows?

I would say, if you don't seriously raid and don't pvp, the hilt weapon will probably take you to 83-84, like the end game gear did with Wrath - IF Cata is itemized like Wrath - weapons were few and far between in Wrath.
