Frostmourne can be and SHOULD be the Unholy artifact, heres why

[KevinLee487]

lol you kids didnt even read the op he specifically touched on every topic and all you people do is "HURR BUT IT STEALS UR SOUUUUUUULLL MUH LORE"
"its called FROSTmourne i dont care what abilities arthas used HURR"
its pathetic

Yea I kinda noticed this myself. Theres also a few people saying how it wouldn't be Frostmourne if reforged ignoring the fact that Ner'zhul and Arthas are both gone (Metzen himself specifically said Ner'zhul's story as the Lich King is done) and Frostmourne was plenty powerful before Arthas starting soul stealing with it.

And then there was Shadowmourne, which is explicitly stated to be a sister blade to Frostmourne. The only difference between the two was that Frostmourne had a LOT more souls empowering it at the time, and Shadowmourne didn't have a pissed off Orc spirit linked to it to corrupt whoever wielded it.

Shadowmourne would be cool, but Blizzard has said that they aren't re-using old weapons for artifacts so its already been ruled out.

My dad bought me a car. It's just wasn't with four wheels. My dad bought me two bicycles.

Yall on these forums make some of the shittiest metaphors and similes I've ever seen.

[Keile]

IMO: Bring back Shadowmourne as the DK Artifact....or something similar.

It almost feels wasted, as if they didn't make Shadowmourne back in WotLK, and held off on it until now it would have fit in perfectly as it is basically Frostmourne 2.0 without all the evil.

[Realsykes]

Frostmourne seemed to be plenty powerful when Arthas found it in Northrend, fresh from the frozen throne with 0 souls in it.

You mean Nerzhuls?

Oh.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Either Shadowmourne or something entirely. Leave Frostmourne alone. Honestly I hope they decide to not use the shards of Frostmourne and leave it for a future Lich King Story arc.


Or better yet. Give three options for DK's artifact weapons(Yes Unholy to)

One Sword, One Axe and One Mace/Hammer. For those that have preferences.

[Ealyssa]

Frostmourne is destroyed, period. No matter ho wemuch you want it, it's GONE, finito, niet, keine mehr.

You can't remake a blade with it's fragment, you can only "melt" it into something else. Something that can be powerfull too, but it still wont be the same.

It's called Frostmourne, not Unholymourne.

I think Unholy Death Knights should get corrupted Ashbringer.

Blizzard already said in-game weapons as artifacts is a no go. And they've already confirmed that Frost DKs are going to use the Frostmourne shards for their weapons.

I've already addressed this if you take the time to read the initial post.

Read the initial post. Frostmourne has very little to do with Frost.

And Corrupted Ashbringer won't happen. It contradicts the Ret Paladin story and Corrupted Ashbringer has already been in-game. Blizzard has said in-game weapons will not be returning as artifacts.

[Vynestra]

U wont get it lol, its funny how people can become upset over anything these days.

Very entitled lol.

I'm a mage, doesn't mean i'm going to barge in begging for atiesh and demanding we get it.

You know blizz have already stated Frostmourne is being reforged for the Frost artifact right? This entire thread is pointless.

[lunchbox2042]

What if the DK plays both specs though?

[IIamaKing]

I didnt know blood was getting a 2h axe.....is it going to be the size of a 1h axe? Like all the others these days.

[Gemini Soul]

All my support for the proposal: Frostmourne is the ideal and iconic artifact for the death knights!!

If Blizzard has agreed to get rid of Tirion and Thrall (among other heroes) for the sole purpose of expropriating their legendary weapons and give them to us, the players...

Then I see no objection to Frostmourne is forged again as we already have all its fragments, and so we can wield the legendary weapon...

At the end of the day there will be hundreds of sacred cows running through the meadows with Ashbringer in their hands and even hundreds of drunken dwarfs using Doomhammer for all kinds of pursuits...

Blizzard has been who opened Pandora's box. If the Paladins will fight with Ashbringer or the Shamans will fight with Doomhammer, the death knights have the right to fight with Frostmourne in their hands!

Make yourselves heard! Because you are absolutely right.
Claim Blizzard what rightfully belongs to you! Do not give up!

I agree, its unfair that some get to use their iconic class weapons while we can't. They should either let all classes use their iconic weapons or none at all, i wonder how many people made a Paladin just to get Ashbringer.

Maybe you should start by actually reading the initial post before opening your mouth and looking foolish? Thanks.

What do you mean? Blizzard has said that they're still figuring out what to do for players who play multiple specs. We don't know any details.

It actually looks quite large. Go ahead and check it out on Wowhead, it looks pretty bitchin. One of the skins is a Scythe.

To be 100% fair, Paladins, Shamans, Mages and Death Knights are the only classes that actually have iconic weapons. As it sits this very second, Frostmourne is the only iconic weapon which is not being currently wielded. Until Legion hits, Ashbringer is in the hands of Tirion, Thrall has Doomhammer, Khadgar has Atiesh and is going to play a big role in Legion, and nothing else really exists AFAIK. Maybe the Sythe of Elune but I think all we've seen that do is summon Worgen.

S
Frost is getting a pair of One-Handed swords, Icebringer & Soulreaper. These two swords are forged from the fragments of Frostmourne that lay at the base of ICC. So I guess we just left them there for last few years but took the hilt? Right...because that sounds like a good idea. Two-handed weapons are clearly out of the picture for Frost and Blood already has their artifact, which leaves Unholy.

That right there is the reason why Frostmourne itself won't be an Artifact. The two pieces are already being used for the Frost Artifacts, and since they've said they plan on having a system where you can get the Artifacts for your others specs, just with a bit more work required, it makes no sense that you could have both the swords made from a broken Frsotmourne AND a whole Frostmourne.

As much as I would love Ashbringer, I am waiting till all of the Artifacts are revealed to decide which spec I will be playing for my Pally, same with any other class. Especially since they said they plan on making it so you can get other spec Artifacts, just make you work harder for it than the initial questline that gives your your first.

I remember when Shadowmourne was introduced. They didn't want to give us Frostmourne as a Legendary, so they decided to come up with a substitute. Not only did it come at the cost of another Legendary weapon (Light's Vengeance), it didn't really do a good job of evoking the weapon it was coming in place of (Frostmourne). It wasn't even the same weapon type as either, which I blame on the expansion being really obsessed with axes (it should have at least been a hammer).

Then Legion is announced, and they're actually handing us the famous weapons... except we're still getting a Frostmourne rip-off instead of Frostmourne itself. I feel like it's some sort of running gag. I don't care if it's Unholy, or Frost, or even Blood, but it's ridiculous that we keep having to get pseudo-Frostmournes. Ner'zhul corrupted Arthas through the blade, and now he's (supposed to be) gone. There's no reason a reforged blade couldn't be given instead of some new ones no one has any connection with.

Also, it would be nice if Light's Vengeance could be retconned into only somehow inspiring Shadowmourne instead of being destroyed for it, because that was just a huge waste.

[Musta]

F R O S T mourne. I dont think it can be any clearer than that.

[Friendlyimmolation]

Frostmourne didnt absorb souls because of Ner'zhul being incontrol. It was made to do that and it would do it again if reforged. You did it with Shadowmourne but Shadowmourne wasnt crafted by Dreadlords.

[RuneDK]

frostmourne got shattered nough said. Even if we reforged it, it wouldn't technically be the same.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

F R O S T mourne. I dont think it can be any clearer than that.

And yet it did a lot of Shadow/Unholy based moves. At best Frostmourne is the ultimate Death Knight weapon using all types of DK magics.
