Blizzard Warglaives of azzinoth or Not? PLEASE RESPOND!

Be careful there. People are going to start arguing that the Darkshore Warfront glaives appearances (and anything remotely similar to them) should remain exclusive to Demon Hunters too despite the appearances being based on non-DH Night Elf glaives.

nope, and you’re not likely to get one, either.
ignoring posting guidelines isn’t going to accomplish what you hoped it would.
…at this point, you should probably just be thankful that they haven’t deleted the thread.

just sits there watching the Rogues sperg about not getting to transmog a third legendary, while eating a large bag of popcorn.

Trolls used them first.

Blizzard has made statements about this in the past:

The other issue is that the glaives themselves are not mogable, there is a separate in-game transmog only item classed as warglaives.

IIRC blizz has said publicly that had DH’s been in the game in BC the glaives would have been DH only. The only reason they were ‘swords’ at all is because ‘warglaives’ wasn’t a weapon class yet; and the only reasons they didn’t change it was to make it so people who had the glaives could get the achievement to mog them on their DH’s and to use them in TWing.

Uh, salty much? Rogues and Warriors are the rightful wielders.

Excuse you and your entire race?

Hi I’m a DK, what about me and my entire race?

“Rogues and Warriors are the rightful wielders”

Apparently, Blizzard has deemed otherwise.

Regarding the topic of Warglaives and transmog for other classes, one of the major reasons there was a specific achievement added in Legion to allow Demon Hunters to use the Warglaives of Azzinoth as an appearance for their Artifact weapons was how iconic these are to the demon hunter class.

See this is what I don’t understand, you say this. And so does blizzard but if that’s the case they need to remove the sword classification from the glaives. It’d be like not letting Paladins or warriors use Shadowmourne.

And who’s to say they aren’t? Hell for all we know, they’re only keeping the actual items as they are to make it easier to unlock the transmog for DHs. Otherwise, you’d have to farm BT (which, even with the skip DHs can do, can be mind-numbing.) on your DH, then wait for BT Timewalking, and pray you get a group that can not only make it to Illidan (That means managing to do the Reliquary without screwing it up), but beat him.

Which, if your luck is particularly bad, can take years.

You don’t just go announce a feature, you saw how excited people got at blizzcon when they said you can mog legendaries, start adding all these stealth changes or not even clarify anything.

I guarantee you there is going to be a ton of disappointed people on patch day, luckily I can smack people with Stinkrot smashers. But others won’t be so lucky!

Keep in mind that those same people have other options.

Warriors have Thunderfury, Sulfuras and Shadowmourne.
Rogues have not only their own unique legendary in the FotF, but can also mog Thunderfury, as well as the Outlaw Hidden appearance, which is an HD Thunderfury.
Monks also have Thunderfury.
DKs have Thunderfury, Shadowmourne, and Sulfuras.

Honestly, if anyone should be upset, it’s Hunters, as they’re stuck with Thori’dal.

Also, “Disappointment on Patch Day” seems to be the theme of BfA.

Link to where Blizz said this?

Also, this statement seems to have been made when they first opened up the Warglaives for transmog to DH’s.

It doesn’t address why they aren’t allowing other classes to use them 2 years later when they decided to make leggos moggable.

Still doesn’t really address the current issue of why the warglaives aren’t opened up for transmog for all classes despite them saying that we’d be able to mog legendaries now.

Because not all classes can use 1H swords, much less the Warglaives?

The big issue here is, how badly do they want to break their spaghetti code? We saw what the last item squish and the addition of the new Communities interface (BTW, the old Guild interface is still there, and there is a command to bring it up.) did to the game. For all we know, changing up the transmog system to enable the Warglaives could cause the entire system to be horribly broken.

As I’ve said before. You have other Legendaries. Use those. Let DHs have their glaives that they have also earned.

I didn’t mean ALL classes. I meant all classes that can use the warglaives.

If there is a technical issue that is barring them from opening up the glaives for xmog, then at the very least they should say something. However, their weakness with communication is still showing.

Us having other legendaries doesn’t make disallowing this one to be transmogged is okay.

Warglaives are Demon Hunter only, and should stay that way.

It doesn’t matter what the tooltip says… other classes can still equip them, just not mog them.

And that’s stupid. If a class can use it, then it should be moggable for them.
