First off, thanks to those of you who participated in our previous poll. We had over 350 participants and it was a close race up until the last day, where it was One-Handed Maces that made its final surge towards the finish line. A great finish, which leads us into our next evaluation in our progression towards patch 4.3 and Transmogrification: One-Handed Maces:

| Differentiation Analysis: One-Handed Maces (v1.0) |
The goal of our evaluations is to determine just how much visual parity there is among weaponry in the World of Warcraft, and where the niches lie that players can leverage as a means to visually differentiate themselves from their peers with Transmogrification in 4.3.
The chart you see to the left (click for larger image) represents every Epic, Rare and Uncommon One-Handed Mace model currently available in-game that can be transmogrified.
We have already removed a few items that Blizzard has deemed ineligible, so if you're looking for the Spider Splatter Mace, which is a great-looking frying pan complete with eggs, unfortunately Blizzard isn't going to let you humiliate Deathwing with it. Nor will they enable you to PvP with models of fish, such as the Rockhide Strongfish. In addition, some models may be categorized as being more "unique" than you believe they are. This is likely due to the fact that some of the recycled skins don't actually have any stats. And from what we gather, an item must have stats on it in order to be eligible for transmogrification.
Read on for our initial conclusions, our visual positioning analysis, the editors' picks and our map key to identify and link to the items reviewed here.
