best Priest weapon

[araedros]

If I only had to pick one weapon card...

[iClipse]

Wizent's Staff > All

[figga]

Iclipse staff for sure

Wooden Staff your opponents will be so shocked they will probably miss their next few turns.

But yeah as mentioned above Wizents is just awesome. With Elithibeth it is less needed now so decks built around the other weapon options are probably more viable then they used to be.

The best weapon in the offensive sense is most definitely madelain scepter. The problem being that you probably want to use the weapon spot for witzen staff as draw.
If you find another efficient draw than witzen staff, you'll be able to do great stuff with madelein scepter

Scepter is absolutely horrible. Say on your turn you attack and activate the effect once. Then you retaliate twice on your opponent's turn. Now during your next turn, you attack and ... ... poof your weapon disappears so you can't even use the effect. Hell, even Mourneblade is probably a better offensive weapon.

And I don't think Elizabeth replaces Wizent. Elizabeth competes more with TO since the 2 doesn't work great together. Most people run Wizent+Eliza or Wizent+TO.

you will in this case get 10 dmg out of the weapon. Is it that bad? Besides, this is the worst case scenario where you use only once the ability. I doubt mournblade will get a better damage output, not to mention you can kill some nightshade or night owl or wulven savage.
Another good point is that you can kill a 4HP ally with one swing. I don't know a single other weapon that have this ability.

In the situation you describe you would need to be highly underwhelm by allies to take 2 retaliation hit and I don't think any weapon would help you turn aroud the game by itself in this case. (Also, it's rare to be underwhelm by allies when you are a priest considering the TW threat)

And I don't think Elizabeth replaces Wizent. Elizabeth competes more with TO since the 2 doesn't work great together. Most people run Wizent+Eliza or Wizent+TO.

I didn't mention elizabeth, simply talking about hypothetical situation where you would have an efficient draw without WS. Maybe it exists, and maybe not, but that's another topic.

I have to agree with this. To me the tipping point really is that you are forced to deal the additional damage to allies = as an aggressive tool it's 2 damage a turn for 2-3 turns for 6, which is horrible. Also at that point the damage, even to allies, isn't going to be that huge (it's 4 in a world of more 5 health guys).

I'll probably start using it once I can damage the hero with it. As of now though, it's not good.

[araedros]

I was considering Madelein's but I don't have a drawing machine so Winzet's it is.
Not to mention that Madelein's is too expensive to buy (800 gold)

Considering that that isn't the worst case scenario (since it could just outright get destroyed), and that it is 6 cost. I mean the 5 cost weapons that are commonly used are already 2/4 base stats. The kicker is also that none of the priests have a weapon based ability too. I just feel like it has such an underwhelming effect for a 6CC epic.

I do suppose the anti-stealth and non-combat damage is pretty handy for priests though.

The Eliza comment was more for qaz92zaq actually.
