If they're still going to release guns/bows/xbows for only a single class then there's no reason for them not to add new warglaives.
yes, I think so
no, we will loot the same 1H as other melee

There are bows/guns/xbows in every raid, and generally one or more in most dungeons I don't see why there wouldn't be any Warglaives. They will probably be less common than bows/guns/xbows, due to us having alternatives, but I still expect to see them in every raid, and in a decent number of dungeons, our animations look strange without them IMO.
They could argue since they are able to equip the BT Glaives, that being said, I'm sure they are marked as swords not warglaives?
Regardless, @anon5123
Warglaives are the iconic weapons for DHs, if you based an entire expansion around the legion and introducing DHs and not give them glaives, it would cause a shit storm. Ignoring the whiners for what ever whinging, it literally wouldn't make sense for them not to have glaives given it's in their lore as what they use. It's the same as if we ever had wardens introduced, I'd expect we'd have their blades introduced.
Monks may not have had their own weapons introduced, but they had very very specific / monk'y designs on staffs when leveling, as well as staffs being used on the cover art and cinematic. Personally, when ever I think of a monk of any game or story, I imagine a staff.
DK's didn't get their own weps, but once again they had some very lore heavy themed weps to start. Then on top of that they had the runeforge which was really unique. I'd go as far to say it's just as awesome as DH's having glaives.
Anyways. DH will 100% get glaives in the next expansion. My personal guess is they will drop individually from dungeons (possibly a set bonus on some of them), this will allow you to use a glaive and sword. Opposed to being forced to use two for one drops. There will also be one or two in the raid tiers. Exactly the same as a few daggers, swords, axes, 2h maces etc will drop in some dungeons and some in the raids. Personally I don't disagree a warrior should be able to equip them, it's kind their thing to be a master of arms.
They could just make tokens that turn into a sword/warglaive/mace etc based on class. Or instead of weapons, have 'essences' drop, that you then infuse into a white weapon of your desired type. EG, you kill Boss X and gain an 'essence of titanslying', which you then apply to a white glaive, sold by a vendor, which turns the weapon into 'Warglaive of Titanslaying'.
Of course there will be glaive drops... just like there was hunter weapons and rogue daggers.
Probably 1 per tier unless they go back to final bosses dropping weapons then maybe 2.
Yeah, I'd suppose.
But make Warriors, Rogues, Monks and Death Knights be able to use them please.
Hardly visible, but there's already a new quest/dungeon glaive model confirmed
Shit pic, but I couldn't get any better from the BfA demo.
In all honesty, I'm not expecting warglaive boss drops.
What I am expecting: Wargraive "appearances" from reputations, findable pickup treasures that have warglaives that are mostly for the appearances, and possibly craftable appearances that may be functional to a raid level if pumped with gold for craftable upgrades.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
Maybe they will release them in a tokens, like raid ones.
Depending on a spec they turn into your weapon.
There'll at least be a few new Glaive designs I'm sure. I'm actually really interested to see if they go the route of having like, a Zandalari-inspired warglaive. That sounds awesome.
But yeah, given quest rewards are spec specific and personal loot is a thing, I expect at least a couple. They're so cool I can see the art team doing it just because glaives are cool.
I've got basically all of my artifact appearances and colors anyway though, so I've got plenty of variety even if they don't. Still, it would be a shame to not have something thematically approrpriate to swing around.
