Why is a Lamentation better than a Jade Mace?

[Pescador]

Fast weapons aren't as good for aggro here compared to how they were on live, therefore proc-less weapons are almost useless for warriors here that want to hold aggro. I'd have to assume that lammy is priced high because it looks cool and, like others have said, is a status symbol.

[Tycko]

No item that drops two times back to back is "rare".
Status symbol? For lvl 15 ranger twink's.
Greedy powersellers or idiots are selling this item for 8k.
Summary: give it time.
