[Enhancement] Doomhammer offhand can be transmogged!

[Deleted]

If I'm reading this correctly, then we're stuck with the lava appearance of doomhammer in our offhand. If this is correct, then this is an incredibly dumb decision that will ruin a lot of transmogs. I hope this gets reverted.

EDIT: "The weapons formed by your elemental powers will behave like normal weapons. You will be able to transmog over them."

Sounds like it is only the same fire image no matter what artifact skin/color you choose.

I don't play a shaman, but I remember seeing an interview where the exact opposite was said. That is quite a shame. It should at the very least change color to match the main-hand while still keeping the lava texture. (Maybe that's what the tweet means? Seems a bit misleading now that I read it over a couple times).

I'm assuming "any" customisation also refers to transmogrification.

In the most detailed and scientific way I can put this-

It's butts. Seriously, Grade A Butts.

I mean, all other duel wielding weapons have looks for both weapons right? And the shields I'm unsure for, but they do too right? Yet...this. Not quite sure about this.

You will be able to transmog it, I'd have to believe, but if you are concerned I would send a follow-up tweet. It's a legit question and I think likely to be answered. Who knows.

[Rendark]

Man i hope that's not true. I really hate the way the off-hand looks. My lock is looking better every day.

What would you transmog? It is my understanding that there's not going to be anything in the offhand slot.

[Buxton McGraff]

From what I gather, you can still transmog to any other weapon, but that weapon will adapt the same lava glow regardless of the skin underneath.

[Jester Joe]

Even if there is, I doubt there will be much to match whatever doomhammer skin you want to use, at least as well as the skin itself would. I doubt it would take much work to mirror the appearance to the off hand at the minimum.

[Gawdzilla]

Things are always subject to change.

I'm content to watch how things play out.

Still would like to see us grab Orgim's DH from WoD since no one is using it as an OH

What a lame ass decision. Mages, SPriests, H/ProtPaladin, ProtWarr, caster Sham.. everyone else gets unique skins and color options for the OH to match their MH. Theres zero justification for us to be stuck with such limited customization.

The justification is called the Shaman class.

I believe they aren't talking about tmog, just the artifact customization that you can do.

Even then I agree with Jester Joe, Grade A Butts

If they arent talking about transmog then that's a very nebulous and incorrect use of the word "any" in their statement.

Eh, Ele and Resto will have plenty of matchign options, MMO just posted a video of all the resto combinations. Enh is the only spec getting shat on.

When you are done your Artifact Quest, is Thrall going to hand you both Doomhammer and Lava Offhand?

No, you are just going to equip Doomhammer and the game will make it look like you have an offhand so the DW animations make sense. That's what this Lava tweet means. There will be no offhand to transmog.

"Different appearances" in the original obviously refers to Artifact skins and color options ("different appearances [of] Doomhammer," or the appearance options specifically tied to the Artifact). In context, I'm pretty certain "any customization" more specifically refers to Artifact skinning and not mogging, although I can see how the umbrella term "any" could be misleading.

I'm willing to bet if someone cleared this up with the devs it would be that it can either be mogged over or would take the appearance of the mainhand mog, as well. Just because there wouldn't conceivably be a item in the slot does not mean that they can't find a way around it.

Currently in alpha the OHs are just automatically equipped in the OH slot (MH for Prot War/Pld), they have stats and everything. I imagine Enh will work the same since DH has the stats of a 1her.
