    Holy shit... They are really slacking in regards to textures. Are we living in 2005 or 2019?

    As some one who rather likes the due look I guess I’m getting back into raiding.

    The weapons this xpac have been absolutely awful. The lone exception might be some of the alliance warfront ones (horde ones are dull and lifeless).

    This has always been an issue with weapon textures. The more surface area a weapon has, the more stretched its textures look. They're already using the maximum texture resolutions allowed by the engine (currently), but the same limits are in place for weapons regardless of type.

    Though they also tend to look worse in the model viewers than in-game. The texture scaling in the game looks a quite a bit smoother.

    I guess my monk tank is staying with the mythic shivarra polearm. Because that one looks like dogshit.
