Should "The Silver Hand" artifact been Ret?

[Wildmoon]

Calling Uther Holy is like calling Turalyon protection because he fought with a hammer and a shield in most of the war except when he picked up Lothar's sword. Is Malfurion resto? Oh but he was the first person to ever discover pack form too. lol.

Where would the Ashbringer go? It has been in the hands of a Retribution Paladin since Tirion got his hands on it.

I'd say it's more than appropriate for Holy to get The Silver Hand. Both Arthas and Uther in Warcraft III wielded a big 2-hand hammer and wore a book on their belt... and they were more Holy paladin than Retribution paladin in that game. It's all about restoring that class identity. Personally, I'd love it if Holy paladins never used a 1-hand/shield again.

Uther wasn't brought up in the argumentative fashion until your initial reply to me, which was a bit of correcting information but the majority of my post was as a parallel draw from how they have portrayed Uther (A 2h battle healer who supports his allies first and foremost while doing a bit of damage) and what they are aiming to make Holy Paladins into going forward to Legion then I finished up my thoughts on the matter. No one even mentioned Uther's weapon until you brought it up or the lore behind The Silver Hand either.

If they did this holy paladins would be awsome in legion but the battlehealer concept was put in the drain for reasons......

Clearly duel specc he was ahed of his time=P

I cant wait to have Ashbringer honestly, i don't know of a better fit for a Paladin then that weapon.

I'd like an artifact skin to be a hammer, I think hammers fit paladins more than swords.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

Nope, Silver Hand is for Healers.
Ashbringer is for Rets.

I prefer Swords over hammers. Hammers just feel weird using in combat. I mean sure we mostly saw them using hammers but Ashbringer is still a sword and iconic. That said there are bigger problems for Paladins to have

I'd just like the option for an artifact skin to be a hammer, the warriors get an axe, hunters get to swap bows to gun and guns to bow. Would be nice to have choice

I second a strong desire for a 2H mace appearance for Ashbringer. If they don't give us one, I will just 'mog over Ashy anyways, but it'd be nice if they did. I'm the odd paladin who never thought it looked all that hot to begin with, and really think that paladins should wield hammers.

Yeah, not a fan of ashbringer. I'd rather we had gotten a new weapon instead.

I don't think Paladins should be forced to wield hammers. There's nothing weird or odd about them using swords. That said having a skin for a hammer for the artifact is nice. I mean the Ashbringer is nice but with the whole artifact system I kinda expected a new weapon entirely not Ashbringer.

Relating to wc2 art, Armored horsemen of the Middle ages actually did wield hammers like this. He has what's called a Horseman's Hammer, blunt side for an armored opponent, pick side for leather and chain armor. Yes, the idea here is that the armored horseman was a calvary fighter, and if upgraded a Paladin. Of course in ww2 there weren't any specs for the paladin, It was basically just a Horseman with some Holy-type abilities.

These puppies exist, and I want them.


OT: I really like the Ashbringer, it's super badass, I just wish that the mini Ashbringers we throw at our enemies would be removed, I think it looks dumb, also I would love if the Blade of Justice ability was the Ashbringer coming out of the ground, that would be really neat.

WHERE?!

I've been searching a few sites but can't seem to locate where those are found. Unless i've completely missed something xD

I wonder if the Silver Hand skins unlocked prior to the next expansion will be able to be used for any two-hander for Ret or Holy, or if they will still be restricted to Holy.

Hopefully so, as the LFR T19 recolor matches perfectly with the first PvP artifact skin for the mace, but there are no Ashbringer skins that do.

how about golden Corrupted Rememberance, though?

ah, my bad, I somehow misread t19 recolor for t20 T6 recolor

[Shadow Fox]

I feel like the Silver Hand should of been Ret, and the Reinhardt Hammer should of been a large 1H weapon for Protections... Just my thought, though.

Y'know what gets me? No Reinhardt armor set to go with it. Paladin T21 should be based on one of Reinhardt's skins.
