[shade3891]

Arms Spec:
Quel'Zaram, was one of two known weapons wielded by Anduin Lothar.
The weapon's current whereabouts are unknown.

I think Arms gets Wrynn's sword.

I believe that, For Arms warriors, it is almost certain that we are going to get Gorehowl.

After WoD, The Draenei and the Frostwolves won´t forget the atrocities Grom and his Iron Horde visited upon them, and he will be imprisoned. Both sides want him judged, each according with his own laws (draenei want a fair trial, orcs want the same Saurfang suggested for Garrosh: Trial by combat)

For <insert contrived reason Blizz will invent here>* , it is going to be Trial by Combat. The arms warrior comes in, kill him and, as per Orcs custom (according to several lore sources, including the comic), the victor is entitled to the defeated´s weapons.

* Personally, I think the Draenei will accept judgement by Orcs law as a concession: Grom´s last minute help against the Legion does NOT erase his crimes, but awards him at least a death with (fom him, at least) dignity.

Thoughts?

Gorehowl
Axe of Broxigar the Red

um

Varian's sword if he dies this expansion. WTF is it called? Shadowmane? Shalamane? Something like that.

[Sky High]

I hope it's Brox's axe, or maybe Trollbane.

[Archimtiros]

The 2h is Gorehowl.

The Prot is a sword and board "new-lore" artifact that is being made up for Legion, something about crafted from the scales of Neltharion (aka Deathwing) way back when he got iron plates nailed to his ass.

The Fury weapon is up in the air; but it's going to be regulated as either dual 1hrs or 2hrs (which doesn't really matter, since your weapon never changes over the course of the expac, aside from asthetics). It'll probably be another "new-lore" artifact, as there's nothing currently existing which fits the bill.

I was hoping for the Great Royal Sword personally.

[Hanzan]

Rexxar is a hunter.

Broxigar is not a major lore character, he's not in any of the games. He's a silly character like Me'dan. "ooh look at this all powerful character that is just better/stronger because reasons, that has no part in any foreground story".

and rexxar is also doing damage beside his pets in melee range...

[Athorha]

Gorehowl for 2h, already has an updated model
Titansgrip: Saurfang and Broxigar's axes, since they're both brothers it'd be cool to see. Although they would both look vastly different, which might not be what blizz is going for.


Can't think of any notables shields.

Well it does state on Anduin's page that, "He will learn the true cost of peace..." So it is possible the King Chin could bite the dust and his sword(s?) becomes one of our weapons.

I hope prot gets some form of a shield artifact (or having a sword and shield artifact would be neat; but only one customization).

They said prot warrior gets a shield/sword combo made from Neltharion's (Deathwing) scales. Didn't show it though.

Guessing this for Arms

[Deleted]

Armageddon !! or something bigger my nightmare is axe, mace for arms and one handers for fury

[GutsTheWarrior]

If Fury gets forced into one handers, well I really hope Arms gets an overhaul.

[Meraxes BE]

Fury better get 2 x 2h as thats the iconic set up for the spec. 1h's would be terrible.

[Jaspias]

I had a few ideas for Warriors, but sadly they have less lore than other classes. I can come up with decent backstories and lore for many other classes, but just look at the best I could think of for Warriors...

Holy Paladins: Tyr's Honor: A titanic sword and shield, with the shield being some sort of titanic construct that draws pure Light and forms it into the blade of the sword.

Prot Paladins: Sanctum and Salvation: Sanctum is a shield of an Azerothian Draenei paladin who explored the Broken Isles, Salvation is an ancient Night Elven blade he ound there, soaked in the blood of a thousand demons that the paladin had slain during when the Legion invaded, and purified by his final sacrifice.

Demonology Warlocks: Spine of Archimonde: Part of Archimonde's literal spine taken from his remains on Hyjal.

Fury Warriors: AU Gorehowl and MU Gorehowl

Arcane Mage: Scepter of the Shifting Sands

Unholy DK: Bifrost, Koltira's runeblade

Edited for forgetting to introduce a seemingly off topic list.

[Azgraal]

The skull of Gul'dan already exists ingame as an epic offhand. What if demonology warlocks (if the spec survives this expansion) ends up with this "other" Gul'dan's head as the artifact level offhand?

[Deleted]

On wowhead first post, in the artifact's zone is an image of a sword that seems to be for warrior.

[shimargh]

I hope prot gets some form of a shield artifact (or having a sword and shield artifact would be neat; but only one customization).

they said prot gets Sword N shield-

[Azgraal]

Red axe with skulls? Looks like the PvP version of a Saurfang axe?

That's Maw of the Damned, a blood dk 2h axe. It's one of the few already described on the official site.
