Convert the AP of the S3 2H Axe into Strength

Now that Hunters got their own weapon (Vengeful Waraxe), that leave the Decapitator for Warriors, Shamans and Paladins only. So I think that will be correct to convert the AP into STR cuz it scales better for those classes.
I also made a topic in the official wow site:

And in the MMO-Champion forum:

But with blessed of kings, you've got 10% more STR, so more AP.
What he said.

i understand what your trying to say but why does it rly matter lol?
1 Strength = 2 Attack Power
What the two above me said, Strength does get increased by 10% while Blessing of Kings is active on you, Attack power remains the same.

The weapon has attack power specifically to not work with Kings, since not all teams run with a Pally to get that buff.
So it is Attack power mainly for balance reasons.

No offense but that is not a valid reason. Why Sword/Mace dont give AP then?. Because they look cool? (lol no, black Soul Cleaver owns :P)

I think the reason this has AP (Or, at least the sanest insane reason I could think of) is because some crazy people might use 2H for full fury spec (warrior) with Imp. Berserker Stance (Increases AP by 2/4/6/8/10%) and with bloodthirst (damage is based on AP).
Same goes for the Enhancement Shaman, Shamanistic Rage and Unleashed Rage increases party AP by XX%.
Paladin = no reason. Blessing of Might increases AP by a set amount, not a percentage. If it did increase AP by a percentage (10% - 20% with talents for example) then you'd have a reason to get the Axe.
Otherwise, strength is better IF you have a paladin with you, and IF said paladin has Blessing of Kings.
Thats all I can think of atm,

good point but you missed the fact's that all that will STILL happen even if it is converted to STR... which will allow those who happen to run with a pally who happens to have king's to gain a boost from it.....
1 STR = 2 AP....
so
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33670
would go from 92 attack power to 46 STR... still retaining the same AP boost but allowing Kings to be stacked on top of it giving 4.6 more STR which goes to 9.2 ap more then listed currently.

Point.
Guess it just depends on how drunk you are at the time then.
But I do agree, it should be strength instead of AP.
If it was Str, I'd get it (ret pala), instead, I'm going for the Bone Grinder.
Too many people have the sword and its just so boring now.

Why would you even want to use the axe for PvP if you're a warrior? Axe spec is easily the worst of the three.
That comes down to personal preference (although your right, in most cases Mace spec seems to lead) which would be waaaaay OT =P plenty of those questions on the wow-europe warrior forums, and probably everywhere else too.
