Warglaives of Azzinoth. A massive punch in the face.

Iconic legendary weapons used by Warcraft heroes :

Ashbringer - paladin only

Frostmourne - dk only (in the form of Blades of Fallen Prince)

Warglaives of Azzinoth - for everyone


Does not seem fair.....

They are not warglaives through, the items are swords.

I constantly see troll shamans wearing war glaives in the game, its just Blizzard who don't wanna allow this for player shamans to keep DHs super special awesome besides them being able to pull off massive dps with no skill.

is this something recent, in a change? none of my shamans were able to equip any swords, not even for dilligaf's

[Nerovar]

False. Every single legendary has restrictions.

The only difference is that the restrictions on the transmogging of the Warglaives of Azzinoth are different to the restrictions on being able to equip the original item, which has entirely to do with the fact that the Demon Hunter class didn't exist back in TBC.

Every single legendary has restrictions that are based on whether you can (effectively) use the weapon or not. These restrictions (mostly) make sense and are in line with the other transmogrification rules (like cloth classes only being able to transmog cloth items). The Warglaives of Azzinoth are the exception to this rule in that they're wearable but not transmogrifiable (don't know if that's a word). Everything you said here is actually not an argument against other classes being able to transmog Warglaives of Azzinoth but an argument against them being able to wear them at all (which is not really what you or me are arguing about). If you were right and RPG mechanics, lore and class fantasy were really that important, they'd have to turn them into warglaives and therefor make them unusable (which they didn't).

The only reason Blizzard on the other hand has given (which you somehow called into question) is that it would diminish the value of the unique reward DH got through the exclusive right to transmog these legendary items which lines up with what I said earlier.

But sure, by all means. Let's all get upset and petition Blizzard to reverse this decision so that everyone can transmog their weapons into The Warglaives, so that you can make every rogue, DK and warrior look just like the iconic DH. That would definitely improve the game in a significant and meaningful way /s

I mean, this already exists for so many iconic items. You can wear almost any "iconic" class set from other classes of the same armor type and completely steal their appearance. As a demon hunter you can literally go around looking exactly like a rogue. Why should a weapon that was actually used by these classes in the past be the exception? Should we make Cursed Vision of Sargeras DH only as well because blindfolds are really their thing?

warglaives in TBC were rogue/warrior only. there was QQ by hunters to be able to use them, blizz would not cave. WOTLK rolled with the wrath babies, whining for DKs, blizz caved. MOP the whiners pre whined for the monks, blizz caved...but blizz also stated that monks were going to be in TBC, but decided not to roll with them.

DHs having warglaives makes sense. in TBC illidan is a DH.

the problem blizzard created was allowing too many classes to use and equip TBC warglaives, the other problem is giving classes achievements for looting legendaries that can never equip them. this lets players use the arguement, i farmed them, i have the classes that show can use them, those classes can't use it as a tmog. blizzard has a 12 year old item in game available to DH only tmog item

warglaives of azzinoth, were gotten on my rogue who still has them, under the old system where you can't tmog legendaries, to me it made sense. when blizzard allowed those who had the achieve for them, complete a TW Black temple to enable use a a tmog for DHs, it felt cheap.

the BC warglaives imo, low res, etc, looked crappy, on three DHs i own, never used it. many DH legion weapons are far superior.

Fury warriors are now DW 2H. rogues imo should be able to tmog BC era glaives, along with DHs, all other classes no

[Drusin]

Imagine, 10 years from now, when you're an adult and life has actual consequences and your time has tangible heft...and you remember back to that day you got really, really upset over this stupid shit.

I'll be 35 this year, still upset

You mean rogues only if they killed Illidan during BC ? Because if not then you might as well give it to monk/dks

Ha, what an adult you are, caring about things other than the worst things.

We all know real adults only get upset about starving children in Africa. You can't be invested in anything if you're an adult unless it's the worst thing possible.

I get that some people live a life that's, not sure if there is a word for it but standard works I suppose. Where they own a home and have a mortgage and utilities to worry about, their kid needs braces, their wife has medical bills, they are still making payments on their student loans, need new tires on their car, boss isn't promoting anyone this quarter, etc but not everyone has those concerns. I think I do a pretty good job of keeping my life simple and controlled and as a result I'm free to worry about transmog changes lol. You can't just blanket people and say they aren't adults because they don't have the same concerns as you, we don't all live the same life.

[Rampant Rabbit]

• Wasn't it enough that Demonhunters already have their own Weapon type unusable for any other class?
• Wasn't it enough that they were the first and only class ever being able to transmogrify a Legendary for years?

I am honestly upset about this.
Players that actually wielded both glaives back then when the Black Temple was the current raid got really screwed over.

It's a shame blizzard favoring a specific class, again.

On that note, this fits perfectly.



What are your opinions on it?

This game has been diluted so much this doesn't hurt the game or experience anymore.

So, get over yourself.

Also, there's nothing legendary about a generations old item catching dust in your bank.

[Nightstalker]

To see that characters who had this set almost 10 years before DHs came into existance not being able to xmog it is just dumb.

As if having these items has more weight than having aquired them. That means more to those players than just the item itself.

They'll have to just look at their date stamp on their achievement to continue to feel special.

I'm talking about Shadow Hunter NPCs, who tend to wear Warglaives. Even Rokhan wears one. Considering that Shadow Hunters are basically Troll Shamans, they really should open up Warglaives zu them. Especially since there are rather nice troll designs when it comes to Warglaives in BFA.

Does not seem fair.....

Uh, Ashbringer was never an obtainable Legendary weapon by all classes. It was Paladin Artifact Weapon.

Frostmourne, again, never an obtainable Legendary weapon by all classes. It has never been available in its original form to any class.

Warglaives dropped from Illidan for 1h-weapon wielding classes. Were in the game. Are now transmogrifiable by Demon Hunters.

What kind of comparison were you making here? Were you comparing roller skates to a cucumber? Because you're way off.

Do you know what iconic weapon mean ? Because my comparison is pretty clear.

[Black Goat]

I know what it means.

2/3 of the weapons you're whining about aren't obtainable by all classes. Hell, one of them isn't even a weapon available in the game, and you're claiming it's not fair that the Warglaives are transmoggable to DH? Ashbringer is only transmoggable to Paladins. Frostmourne doesn't even exist in its original form and can't be transmogged by ANYONE.

So... what's not "fair"?

[TheRevenantHero]

Because DH wasn't a class back then and they wanted to do something cool by giving players access to such an iconic thing. If they were released now they'd almost certainly be a DH only item.

But I can equip them manually by other classes still. Their weapon type wasn't changed. Which is why this is incredibly unfair to everyone that farmed like crazy for them. DHs just have to do the BT timewalking and get it for free.

Ashbringer was obtainable by anyone who ran original Naxx and could wield two-handed swords.

Wrong. Ashbringer =/= Corrupted Ashbringer, not the same weapon.

[Rendark]

Blizzard doing something to fuck over players in on brand for them. They do it all the time.

DING DING DING

Tell me why Ashbringer should be Paladin only and Warglaives should be for everyone who is using sword? How is it fair that DH should share their iconic class weapon with others ?

[RoKPaNda]

They'll change their mind in an expansion or so, they always do.
