That may be. I just remember three years ago at launch when I was sent a
Fire Wand - Items - World of Warcraft at like level 13 and thought it was great
Interesting anecdote, wand-related dps was actually better at low latency levels at launch (when we didn't have autoshoot) than now if you had the correct combination of weapon speed and wand. Swing timer would run during wand cooldown, so a quick dagger would hit between every wand shot. I had maxed wand and dagger skills up to level 40.
