Most impractical WoW weapon for real life combat?

I would have to say Warglaives, would be very hard to actually use them

Pretty much everything that you get after you leave starting location

I'm not even sure how you would use Warglaives.

The same way you'd use a bat'leth.

[Jastall]

Warglaives in general would be pretty much impossible to use effectively. No reach at all, only way to use it is to swing and dance around like a maniac at knife's edge range leaving you completely exposed, they don't do anything that a good ol' fashioned sword doesn't do better. I suppose they parry well enough, but then just use a shield.

I mean, the vast majority of WoW weapons wouldn't work in real life, as the guy from those videos where they forge replicas explain. They would weight something like 150 pounds, which is absurdly impossible to use (most real life weapons weighted less than 10 pounds, even two-handers). Even if you're a super-strong Orc or Tauren, you'd literally need to be ten times as strong as a fit human, and have an unnatural sense of balance, to use something that heavy. But the Warglaives also have a very stupid design on top of all that in terms of practicality.

But hey, it's fantasy and they look cool. My main uses the T17 Mythic set for warriors along with the Black Hand, so who am I to judge.

Scythe of Elune (Balance artifact weapon). That thing is sticking trough the floor the whole time.

Warglaives plus warrior whirlwind = unstoppable until you get dizzy. I just imagine a person spinning in a circle making siren sounds going "WEEEEWOOOOWEEEEWOOOO!" and then falling over.

Warglaives are certainly up there. I don't believe there is a single way they can be wielded to hurt others, not yourself. The second you try to somehow extend them and get some reach you begin stabbing yourself.

For fun, I browsed transmog section of Icy-Veins in search of unwieldable weapons. Here's something even more stupid:



How do you even axe? For a 2 handed wield, it's riddiculously short. For some reason the metal from the axe part forms some sort of oversized guard. Best part tho is, whenever you try to do anything with it, you can't - there's a huge freaking spike at the handle, shredding your tendons every time you take a swing. Why is that thing even there?

This is rather wieldable. Looks like a short axe with a handguard that is fused to the blade. The plate-y spikes at the bottom are useless but don´t add to the weight significantly. You´d use this like a normal axe.

It's alive and it moves....it's creepy
Claw of the Watcher

Every single weapon outside of the vanilla greens basically. Everything else would be far too heavy to use practically and have weird ass weight distributions

[FelPlague]

the wizard blades, as they are blades that have small pufts of flame... and thing is with fire, slashing somone with it will do nothing... but... it would ust make them feel warm, you would have to hold the blade on them until they burn....

[willtron]

Any of the 2h Swords. They're thick enough to be maces RL and would be wayyyy to heavy to lift, let alone swing around in a fight.

Even the hunter weapons are extremely unwieldy.

A whole lot of Vanilla and BC blues and epics are reasonably sized. They lost their marbles with WotLK designs.

[Argarock]

Anything with spikes / sharp edges on the handle.

Anything that's just too heavy to wield (most 2handed weapons)

Oh! The 1H mace from ring of blood in Wotlk, it's just a massive piece of rock on a stick, probably the biggest 1h weapon in the game (by mass) Good luck swinging that around one-handed.

The Warglaives, more likely to hurt yourself than the opponent while using it.

I'm not even sure what a bat'leth is.

Well now we just have to shame you for not having watched Star Trek: TNG.

The idiotic Klingon blade from Star Trek.

I guess you could cut some green parsley and cilantro with them, but as a weapon the only way to actually use them is to drop them onto someone from a height and hope for the best.
