I’m a big lore junkie when it comes to the Mag’har orcs, and one of my favorite orcs happen to be Grom and later on Garrosh. both wielded the weapon Gorehowl which is in my top three favorite weapons in the warcraft universe. When WoD was still current and Gorehowl was leaked as a legendary weapon that could be obtainable by players i was excited because that is something that would of actually interested me about that xpac. Now its just collecting dust and all us players are left with is the old outdated model from TBC. So why not gives those melee classes a way to obtain it be it a questline, challenge run, etc.?

tldr; players are left with old, outdated version of gorehowl, make the new updated version available be it a questline or challenge mode or some other idea.

Then its not gorehowl its gorhorel. Updating a model on the weapon makes it no longer the same weapon lorewise. Garrosh had to mix his with a gods love juices for a reason.

I’m confused on what you’re trying to say

The updated model isnt gorehowl its a weapon that sells itself for cash on a corner.

theyll make it available in the shop :face_with_head_bandage:

Whatever he’s trying to say aside, I really don’t think we should be handling “lore weapons” no matter what Ashbringer says.

I understand what you’re saying, but instead of us actually wielding it what if it was just like an appearance that you mogged on. Blizzard has already done some newer updates with weapons before, think of ashkandi from classic, and ashkandi from Cata. I’m sure there might be others i just cant remember them!

I’d be fine with that, as long as it’s clear that we’re not literally holding Gorehowl in our hands.

I’d honestly be okay if it was a mag’har orc only thing, we go back to AU draenor after grom sacrificed his life to hold off yrel’s AotL and we find his weapon as an appearance

That would be cool too. Or MU Warsong decided to forge imitation Gorehowl axes in honor of their chieftain and give them to their greatest warriors.

11

Gorehowl from BC and Gorehowl from Mists was another example.

Mists Gorehowl was Xal’atoh, the Desecrated Image.

yeah, in SoO garrosh left the original gorehowl behind where we fought the sha of pride, but still its suppose to some sort of version of gorehowl!

Fun fact, the updated Gorehowl was supposed to be in WoD as a legendary weapon, likely dropped by Grom in the original HFC concept, where he was the final boss. However, when 6.2 was changed to put more of a focus on Gul’dan and setting up Legion, it was cut. Just like most of WoD’s content…

personally, i like the gorehowl model.
