[Enhancement] Doomhammer offhand can be transmogged!

[Yopparai]

ok so from what I understand you can x-mog the lava off-hand into any other mace/axe, right ?


but the issue is - can you make it so your off-hand hammer looks exactly like your MH Doomhammer artifact skin ? I dont want to x-mog over the given skins and I dont want an elemental copy


I want both weapons to look identical while using one of the 5/6 Doomhammer skins - basically the same as WW monks and Outlaw rogues and Fury Wars artifacts are getting for their dual-wield

can i or can i not do that with Enhancement in Legion ?

and if not then why does Doomhammer mirrored DW get the shaft when Outlaws, Fury, Frost, WW all can do it ?

God I love people who come to a thread, not read any of it and chime in with their 2c.

It's still alpha. I'm sure we are going to see lots of new skins throughout the expansion. If it really is an issue, if we post constructive feedback and hopefully blizzard will give us more OH mog options.
Even with the odd offhand our artifact still shits all over some other classes artifacts.

my issue is not with skins


its with MH/OH artifact skins not being able to match for enhancement

identical looking weapons is obligatory for me when dual-wielding

Then it sounds like you're out of luck with enh man. The best we can hope for is a theme across both weapons. Lighting skin MH with a lightning skin OH. We're not getting two DHs. It won't happen. Sorry.

I hate this. I want matching weapons! If I have to transmog both weapons to something else then what is the point in earning the alternative skins? Pointless.

Even if I like the idea of doomhammer, I'm also triggered by unmatching dual wielding

Totally agree. I've made several arguments to this point on the official forums. The artifact system locks us into a single weapon. Much of the Legion experience is built around earning alternative colors and models. If I just radically dislike the baseline conceit behind my artifact, I can transmog it, but now I've completely removed all my incentive to participate in all the legion content related to earning those skins/colors.

That is really an argument beyond Doomhammer. It applies to any of the artifacts. The ones I think are amazing may be hated by another person. Its all individual opinion and choice. I, personally, would have rather they did a litany of artifacts, covering several of each weapon type. Big names like Ashbringer and Doomhammer could still have been choices, and those quests could still have been impactful and that way non-enhancement shaman (and non-shaman) or non-retribution paladin (and non-paladin) could enjoy those stories and lore, as well. You could keep the entire artifact system as it is, for each spec, and only change the visual fact that the artifact talent page happens to sort of conform to the model's outline shape.

Man, some people need to learn that not everyone have the same taste, let's all calm down and be civilized when we find others with different tastes than our own.

Also for those arguing about doomhammer needing to be unique because lore, we just played in an expansion where we are in an alternate version of Draenor where a second doomhammer exist, so we could easily and lore correctly use two doomhammers if the devs wanted.

Having a unique taste is fine. I don't think it's necessary for the dev's to prevent mogging to other legendary artifacts, but they do. It's their game. Given that fact, you STILL have options to make the weapons look the same... just not have 2x doomhammers. That's not unreasonable. There are tons of existing options that fit the shaman theme VERY well (my current favorite is the Elemental Cresent, and CMs in WoD are much easier to get gold than they were in MoP). You could easily mog the doomhammer and it's offhand into any existing weapon (that isn't legendary). There are lots of great options between old raids, old pvp gear, and even current stuff.

The WRONG thing to do, however, is cry about it on the MMO champion forums (if your goal is to actually effect change, and not just cry for sake of crying). This is not the place for this kind of feedback (twitter and the official forums are); while the devs may occasionally look here, they almost certainly are NOT logging any kind of feedback here (where as they have tools for collecting it on twitter and their site). If your complaint is that you can't have the new badass artifact exactly the way you want it, then you're likely SOL if you plan on following the terms of service and not use any 3rd party tools; in that case your complaint is along the same lines of "I can't believe they didn't make Archimonde bright yellow! this is ruining my game experience!". The game is designed by their artists, and that's how it works.

I hate this. I want matching weapons! If I have to transmog both weapons to something else then what is the point in earning the alternative skins? Pointless.

It's not pointless. Pretty sure most of the unlocks are going to be tied to achievments of some kind, so you still get that badge of completion on your account. Definitely make your voice heard in the appropriate feedback channels (twitter/official forums) but don't be overly surprised if they don't listen. At some point, they get to make the artistic and gameplay decisions for the game beyond what players want; if you think about it, your argument really isn't much different than asking for archimonde to be yellow or having the horde and alliance colors switched. They have their reasons for not allowing items to transmog into the visuals of legendaries or artifacts, and the lore reason for this one in particular is, IMO, extremely valid. ESPECIALLY when considering all your fire attacks are done with the offhand (which is why allowing say, a frost or lightning offhand doesn't make much sense, IMO).

ewwww you people want to have 2 doomhammers? The reason WW,Fury,Outlaw all get identical weapons is because they are pairs of weapons. Doomhammer is fucking Doomhamer be happy you get that.
