Yup, that's it. This baby is pretty much tops if you are a healer who wants to max out Spirit and healing and all of those other good stats that help you keep others alive. This is the kind of staff that even makes Tanks go all Keanu: "whoah."
Name: Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei (WowDB, Thottbot, Wowhead)
Type: Epic Two-hand Staff
Damage/Speed: 146-338 / 3.20 (75.6 DPS)
Abilities:
- +60 Stamina, +54 Intellect, +57 Spirit. Yeah.
- Red and two Blue sockets, nicely fitted with some +22 healing gems and/or +10 Spirit gems and you're talking about some real power. +4 Spirit socket bonus.
- Improves spell haste rating by 32
- +550 healing, +183 spell damage. Yes, you read that right -- 550 healing. Not since right before the last expansion has there been a staff this nice in comparison to other gear, and even if you could match the healing on a one-hand/offhand combo (you probably can, if you get the right gear and enchants together), the Spirit bonuses on this baby are going to give that duo a run for the money. Take a good look, because this is the kind of stuff that's going to be dropping in endgame raids at level 80.
- Sin'dorei, you should know by now (we're almost to the next expansion), means Blood Elves, or "children of the Blood" in Thalassian. And yes, the staff looks just like the one in the BC art, as seen above. This is very BC staff, if not the most defining staff of this expansion. Look for a lot less gold and green and a lot more blue and black in WotLK.
You can drool, though. And in ten levels, when we're all working through Naxx again, maybe you can convince your raid to go back and help you get it.
Getting Rid of It: Sells to vendors for 20g 54s 93s and disenchants into a Void Crystal. But look how shiny! Have a good weekend.

I agree, this loot is too phat. My server has one guild doing full clears in Sunwell (Deus Vox woo). I bet most servers don't even have that. (Wowjutsu has 30 guilds worldwide that have Kil'jaeden kills).
I'd rather these articles apply to the masses instead of the top 0.01%.
Besides, you aren't exactly shocking anyone here... What? The end boss of the entire expansion drops a really good staff? No way!
I'd much rather see articles of really cool lower level items that can still be useful to higher level toons (like water-breathing staves or toy transformation items) or exceptional drops from lower level tier content/pvp (things that are hard to replace due to being above and beyond the tier level they drop in).

The mace that drops from Kil'jaeden also has 550 +healing. Combine that with the shield from M'uru, so Paladins and Shaman can have healing sweetness too.

It's funny. The staff is pictured with Kael, a mage, and yet the staff is for healers. Think it's kinda gay that casters are getting bullied into main-hand/off-hand combos lately.

Really? I think it's rather straight.

That's not Kael. Also, it's pretty straight, I agree with Chris.

Choose your adjectives more wisely. You give off a bad impression.

If output so Healing and haste is what you are after,
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34335 550 healing 23 haste
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34206 70 healing 22 haste
Is far superior, all what staves seem to offer is slightly superior base stats (stam, int, spi) and let's face it, nobody is really after that or people would socket it.
The price of having a cooler looking weapon I suppose.

Still a great weapon for priests because of the amount of Spirit. Or druid, if they don't want to waste the haste.

These would only be good for Paladins and Shaman. Druids and Priest like a lot of spirit in their healing gear.

...Or in 10 levels, you can go raid Naxxramus for a staff that will be comparable to this?
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but at least 90% of the gear in Kara is comparable- if not better- than the gear from later Vanilla Naxx.

Give me spell hit or give me death. :P
Great staff though, not really for dps types but the stats are there anyway.

Maybe i fail to understand what "phat loot" Friday is all about but Kil'jaeden is a boss that realistically hardly anyone viewing WoWinsider is going to ever kill. Its uber loot aright but i think loot that most people can obtain would be more up everyone's alley and more helpful.
