Dwarf fighting with the Ardent Custodian

The Ardent Custodian is a main-hand mace with bonuses for tanking.

Source

This is a world drop item; it can be dropped by level 39–45 mobs in old world zones.

In the RPG

This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

This golden mace is designed for defense, not offense. When held, it substantially increases the wielder's staying power in combat, but adds no fighting ability whatsoever. No self-respecting warrior would carry such a thing, but it is a favorite among healers and other classes known strictly for combat support.
