I dont think I’ve run into a single demon hunter on the fel hammer or around the broken isles yet (or anywhere, to be honest) that isnt using dual warglaives.
I know they’re iconic and all, but doesnt anyone like to stand out and use something different? I started out using dual axes on my demon hunter, then went to fist weapons for a bit, now I’m using a sword in one hand and a fist weapon in the other that looks almost like a shield.
To me I don’t like the look of having weapons on my hip. Glaives are position on the back so it looks cooler. Axes are really cool to me but having two big axes on your belt just looks awkward.
I too am a fan of carrying my weps on my back. There are swords and axes that do this. I have a few mogs centered around this very thing. But there are also so many cool hip swords and fist weps that it’s hard to ignore those.
I also change my mog like every five minutes. But I don’t like swords as much as glaives or fist weapons. Some of the attack animations use the false edge of your right-hand sword and it bothers me just a little.
Boy oh boy would I love to use Quel’Serrar though - elven blade with green fire. Come on bliz. If DK’s and Monks can mog it, we should be allowed to also.
I was never a fan of glaives. To me, when they’re sheathed, they make DHs look like stag beetles.
Now, fist weapons? I always liked fist weapons. And when BfA enabled fist weapons for Demon Hunters, I got the ones I wanted (for mogging), and never looked back, especially after adding weapon illusion enchantments.
I prefer weapons that sheathe across the back, ideally swords but those are severely limited. Felsteel Longsword, Dragonscale Encrusted Longblade, Spiteblade, etc… We just have so few options and even among those 3, while I like the design of Spiteblade I’m not a fan of the orange aura it provides.
Axe’s are the same way, only a handful sheathe across the back. I really don’t know why classes don’t have an option to toggle the back sheathe or hip sheathe. I mean, monks sheathe practically everything across their back. Would definitely open up a ton of weapon mogs for people like me, who prefer the back sheathe. But as is, we have a few swords or a few axes. Or the various Warglaives.
Hi, I posted earlier, about bearded axes worn crossed on the back. Since then I got a drop, or looted ‘Slithershell Warglaives’. Somewhat akin to a Wardens or Sentinels glaive, but definitely different.
