Priest Artifacts.!

[Noradin]

Guess I'm just more used to priests in a DnD cleric sense, using blunt weapons, like maces and flails and morningstars. The cleric kits are all Priest of [insert name of god].

Even those are only restricted from using daggers in combt to attack their foes.
They can use them in rituals and for spells perfectly well. (Or to butter their bread you know.)

That and I love the quote from Book in Firefly.

Zoe: Preacher, don't the bible have some pretty specific things to say about killin'?
Book: Quite specific, it is however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps

That and the "special hell" line are my favorites from Book.

Whata fuck? a cheese knife for Shadow priests?

lol a cheese knife that is a good sum up of what we are getting, I was hopping for a cool staff like my Athem

What the fuck indeed. When I checked my main spec's artifact I was so disappointed - is this dagger a joke? This garbage needs to be recycled. Disc and holy priest artifacts are amazing though (especially holy).

I guess Im in the minority here but I do like the Old God style dagger that Shadow gets, I mean I would not say no to a staff but I like the design so doesnt bother me.

I do not like the staves, they are so unimaginative.
I'd rather have had a book as the lore item.

The two dominant aesthetic inspirations for WoW are Disney and Warhammer, and as the latter's name implies it's all about War. Even the crafting professions all funnel into the war machine, the quests and lore are predominantly war related, etc. Books just aren't very warlike, while Staves *are* warlike, at least in the context of a priest.

My guess is he means wow's "cartoonish" visual style.

I'd give that to you if the class was called clerics and used staves in melee range.
As it is however we stand at the back and cast spells, so at best the staff is a focus, at worst it is only of use for the elderly.
I for one use my spell book much more frequently than I use my staff to hit things or even just take if off my back.
