Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings is assembled by collecting thirty [Fragment of Val'anyr], then combining them into [Shattered Fragments of Val'anyr], and completing the questline below. Val'anyr is targeted to healing classes, and can be wielded by druids, paladins, priests, and shamans; in contrast with [Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian] which was not targeted towards healers or dps specifically. However, the high damage on this weapon still makes it viable for non-healing specs. For example, the shadow priest community generally agrees this weapon is best in slot for damage as well. This may be due to the release of dual spec during the same patch as the release of Ulduar.

| - To answer some questions:
#If you are lucky enough to have two hammers in your group, then they will both contribute to the same bubble.
#It should work as you would expect with PW:Shield and similar effects. Specifically, the damage should work through one shield and then the other. I don't know off the top of my head which one is used first. Sometimes we have edge cases with multiple absorbs like this that we will need to solve as they arise.
#If you have the blessing then overhealing will count towards the bubble. Hots that tick on a target will still contribute to the bubble. You can also choose to switch to a direct heal if you don't have enough GCDs available to get all of your hots up before the blessing fades. The confusing part here is that hots that don't heal won't cause the blessing . But once the blessing is active, then all of your healing spells will contribute to the bubble even if they do no actual healing.
We'll leave it to you guys to theorycraft out if you think the hammer is marginally better for one class than another. Some players were speculating before this announcement that the bubble only applied to one spell, which would definitely favor Holy Light. We implemented it the way we did to make sure the other healing classes could still get juicy bubbles while the blessing was active .
