Frostmourne should become DK transmog option

[Fetus Rex]

Frostmourne retains the skills and memories of the souls sucked into it, so it can become more powerful than any other weapon, only DH can obtain the transmog though and rogues and warriors are the only ones to be able to wield both, when arthas first got frostmourne he used abilities he wouldnt of had as a paladin to defeat the dreadlord and thats when he became a DK, probably didnt need to use abilties that frostmourne had at that point if the DK abilities were strong enough.

Yes, as a weapon, but it doesn't shoot fireballs of sucked mages. Frostmourne isn't anything special since Legion. Sur eit is iconic and that's why it should become a transmog. Shadowmourne, tank glaives and other artifacts too feast on souls. It's common stuff by now.

He never used any kind of stored person abilities.

[horbindr]

sounds like something they could add when they get around to timewalking ICC.

only problem is that shadowmourne wasn't a drop, while the warglaives were.

[Mirishka]

Even as someone who loves everything LK/Northrend lore-related, I do not agree that Frostmourne should be moggable ~10 years after the fact. It was destroyed and the weapons forged from its fragments essentially were as well, in terms of losing all their power in Silithus.

And its pointless comparing DH/Illidan's glaives to this - we got moggable Illidan's glaives as basically a courtesy. Specifically because there were so few warglaive options compared to weapons that have been there since day 1. Furthermore Illidan's glaives weren't destroyed at the end of BT.

So yeah, agree to disagree. Frostmourne 'died' with Arthas.

If the user wanted to he could use any abilty that any of the souls possesed and it shouldnt become a transmog, if the user is unable to wield the weapon wihtout losing thier soul why would you deserve to have it, the weapon itself was powerful enough to defeat a dreadlord with just a swing. Doesnt change the fact that the weapon is capable to giving the user access to all the abiltities each soul has. Frostmourne turns the user evil and makes them undead for that fact alone it cant be used.

If it was a transmog it would be usable by anyone that could use a 2h sword and would just become a scrub transmog.

Never ever was it mentioned Frostmourne can pull a trick like that. Sure, for story telling purpose it took one surprise stwing. Other weapons too have potential to corrupt their users. No worries then. It would be a transmog for DK, they are already dead.

Why by everyone. Only DK.

Why the fuck do you keep decroing this thread? The thread had been inactive for 3 whole months at the very least and you necro this shit.

That's hardly a necro. And by the way, that's more or less what DK do.

[Treng]

You're not getting Frostmourne. Ever. You are not the Lich King. Give it a rest.

That said, I do think death knights should be able to mog Shadowmourne if they obtain it.

Frostmourne didn't make Arthas the Lich King, bright guy.

if you spend 10 secs looking at the basic lore of frostmourne it tells you its abilities, and its not a DK only weapon as arthas was a paladin so why wouldnt anyone that can use it not be able to wield it, once frostmourne has you it is the one that controls you as you lose all free will so its not a weapon to be wielded by anyone, its soul purpose is for the lich king and the player is not the lich king.

[Fetus Rex]

Reviving a 3 month old fucking thread is necro'ing alright. ESPECIALLY when there isn't even any new information in the game that would suggest frostmourne being made into a transmog item, even more so when it wasn't even a piece of item that could drop in the first place, like thunderfury or the warglaives. So fuck off with your pathetic excuse.

But there are clues ponting to Death themed expansion in the near future. That's why I think it might become a transmog.

Yes, and it has no ability borrowed from the dead. Because it is associated with DK and LK. Why only DH can transmog Warglaives? It doesn't steal free will, only soul and goodness.

and again you dont even bother to look at the lore of the weapon, frostmourne essentially controls the user on a subconcious level and all the souls memories and skills are available to the current user of frostmourne, the weapon is desinged to be used only by the lich king or someone that would become the lich king so anyone who could wield a 2h sword could potentially use it, glaives are technically only supposed to be used by DH anyway but since it was introduced in TBC there was no DH yet, but warriors and rogues have not been giving the option to wield glaives any other way since.

That's simply not true. Where do you even get that information from? Frostmourne is just a weapon, it was matched with LK by the Burning Legion because of its soul stealing potential. A tool to advance their agenda. It's a class limitation, not lore. Warriors are capable to wield warglaives as was proven in the past and by Night Elves and other entities.

There are zero problems with Frostmourne being DK exclusive transmog.

Frostmourne is not just a weapon it steals the soul of the user and destroys any humanity left within, the warglaives are not really that powerful of a weapon anyway and was primarily designed for DH anyway but i have no issues with anyone that can wield them to be able to transmog it, in reality anyone could pick up frostmourne and they will eventually turn into a DK so there is less class restrictions on who can use frostmourne.

Sure, and the same goes for other weapons. Corruption, curses and what not. The Warglaives of Azzinoth were as much powerful as Frostmourne. They just weren't centerpiece of a story. Players wielded far more dangerous weapons ine xpansions. Frostmourne is a weapon the most associated with DK and it should be their exclusive transmog.

Its solely associated with the lich king and its the only weapon that actually steals your soul and takes away the ability to be good anymore, frostmourne was solely designed to control the lich king. Just because you control your character doesnt make it ok for someone to be able to wield frostmourne. Frostmourne transmog is never going to happen.

Nah homie, you're wrong. Frostmourne was weaker than Apocalypse, and we handled it. We also handled Frostmourne, but as two swords instead of one.

[therealbowser]

Frostmourne didn't make Arthas the Lich King, bright guy.

Wow, you realize you are quoting a post from over a year ago, right? You're kind of late to get cheeky about it, friend.

That said I'm fairly impressed this thread is still going. I still stand by what I posted, however. I think Frostmourne should remain shattered, and Shadowmourne should be moggable by death knights, like the Warglaives of Azzinoth were for demon hunters. But that's just me!

[korijenkins]

Frostmourne? No. The weapon is destroyed.

Shadowmourne though? Absolutely.

[Cmx]

The Warglaives of Azzinoth were as much powerful as Frostmourne.

Hell no! You compare some random demon Azzinoth with Ner'zhul? Eh...

It is also associated with a Death Knight named Arthas. Don't worry, Death Knights are hardly good and need to inflict torment on others to avoid pain.It is more than ok.

But Ner'zhul didn't create the Frostmourne.

[Nathreim]

Frostmourne is shattered though, it's pieces making up the frost artifact weapon

DH steal an alternate version of the Twin Blades of Azzinoth. No reason they cant throw DKs a bone as well.

[tehdef]

Shadowmourne is a shitty tier C weapon.

Somehow me not being a Lich King did not prevent me from forging 2 blades from its shards. Other classes have received their iconic weapons, Ashbringer, Doomhammer and Scepter. Somehow Frostmourne is too much. LeL.

The way you try to present your arguments makes me not like you. It's exceptionally annoying to be met with "No sorry let me move the goal posts/that was never what I wanted, and what I want is completely unreasonable, so any sort of compromise will be shot down."
