I still don't get some transmog combo's.

[Gimlix]

Why are warrior's allowed to transmog their sword into a staff?
Wouldn't it make sense if warriors can use both 1H and 2H transmog axe/sword/mace instead of having access to staffs?

Or what is the reason a warrior can use a staff? Still don't see the logic, would be more logical if i can transmog my 2Hander into 1Hander!

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Goddamn it, Gimlix, why do you keep making these threads?

[Elbob]

If I recall correctly, it has to do with attack animations.

a staff is a weapon without the fun bits attached like a spearhead or axehead....logically thinking warriors train with staves before being given a sharp weapon.

Not logical gameplay wise though

Why can mages wield swords if all they do is cast spells?

Basically you can transmogrify any 2H weapon you can use into any other 2H you can use.

Warriors could originally use every weapon in the game except for wands. That's why there were STR polearms/staffs back in the day.

A staff would be a legit weapon for a warrior to use if they felt like it. After all, it is just a big stick you can whack things with. A better question might be why we can still unlock Bows, Guns and Crossbows as transmog. (yeah, I know it's probably because we were able to use them in the past)

Those were also for druids, paladins and enh. shamans though.

[JemiS]

Warriors are masters of arms.

Therefore they can use every weapon (other than wands) including bows/guns.

When it comes to transmog, all 2H weapons share animations, therefore they can be transmogged. 1H and 2H don't. There are no class-specific transmog rules- you have to be able to use it, and the two types have to share animations. That's why fists/daggers are out on their own, and 1H and 2H are split. It's also why melee/range are split.

It's the same reason my Ele shaman (could) transmog a stave into an axe, or why my balance druid can transmog to a 2H hammer.

Paladins couldn't use staves in Vanilla.

[tankbug]

Some staves are badass, and can thankfully be transmogged by warriors.

Their are plenty of magical swords in WoW that grant the wielder powers or enhance their powers. Usually via spells or runes cast on the sword itself. Hell, half the shit Arthas did with Frostmourne was magical in nature and had nothing to do with swinging the sword around to cut things. And he wasn't a mage, but did wield a magical sword. A sword can also serve as an object for the caster to focus or channel their power through like a staff.

[arcaneshot]

Paladins couldn't use staves in Vanilla.

And they still can't.

[Venziir]

No, but they could use polearms, which shamans couldn't, but they could use staffs.

[Preplol]

I find it funny.

My Survival Hunter is being super edgy and running with the Grand Marshal 2Hander

my druid looks so cool

The animation is what dictates what you can and can't transmog a weapon into currently. A staff can be equipped by a warrior and shares animations with polearm and such.

Except for hunters. I can transmog bows into crossbows and guns, which do not share the same animations.
