Where to Find 2 Handed Melee DPS Weapons?



Nothing makes plate dps happier than a shiny new two hand weapon loaded with Strength and ready to rock. Unfortunately, top of the line weapons fit for a dps Warrior, Paladin, or Death Knight are not easy to come by. To help out these hard hitting fiends, I have compiled a list of the best PvE plate dps two handers and where to find them. The weapons are ordered in terms of item level.

Axes:
Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver: Loken in Heroic HoL
Death's Bite: Kel'Thuzad in Naxx 10
Stormedge: Hordir in Ulduar 10
Betrayer of Humanity: Kel'Thuzad in Naxx 25
World Carver: Ignis in Ulduar 25

Maces:
Demise: Heigan in Naxx 10
Titansteel Destroyer: Blacksmithing Crafted BoE
Inevitable Defeat: Random Trash Drop in Naxx 25
The Jawbone: Maexxna in Naxx 25
Ironsoul: Flame Leviathan in Ulduar 10
Earthshaper: Yogg-Saron in Ulduar 25
Hammer of Crushing Whispers: Yogg-Saron in Ulduar 10 (hard mode)

Swords:
Greatsword of the Sin'dorei: Tournament Reward (Horde)
Claymore of the Prophet: Tournament Reward (Alliance)
Armageddon: Four Horsemen in Naxx 25
Abaddon: Yogg-Saron in Ulduar 10
Rune Edge: The Assembly of Iron in Ulduar 25
Aesir's Edge: Xt-002 Deconstructor in Ulduar 10 (hard mode)
Voldrethar, Dark Blade of Oblivion: General Vezax in Ulduar 25 (hard mode)

I left off Polearms because there is not a single Polearm over item level 200 that has even a drop of Strength on it. I also trimmed out the exclusively Agility laden weapons in the above categories to get you straight to the good stuff.

For those of you with an eye to the future, here are the only Strength centric two hand PvE weapons you will be able to get your hands on in the Crusaders' Coliseum when 3.2 drops:

Edge of Ruin: Trial of the Champion (Heroic)
Justicebringer/Dual-Blade Butcher: Trial of the Grand Crusader (Normal and Heroic)

Good luck!
