If you’re going to be letting us transmog legendary weapons in patch 8.3, why not also let us transmog our off spec artifact weapons too? I see no lore breaking scenarios. My shadow priest would love you since our holy spec has that shadowy staff that would be perfect for sharowform.

I was hoping this would be a change too tbh. Druid especially since we have all these unique form skins we can choose from! If we unlocked them we should just be able to use them. Like you said it’s not lore breaking

Because it would look strange having Warriors tank with a 2 handed weapon, or even worse : double 2 handed weapons.
Unholy DK with Maw of the Damned would be so sick, and honestly more accurate to the Death Strike spam meta.

Im talking from logical standpoint. Of course there would be some limitations. Like a assassination rogue should be able to transmog the subtlety daggers, or a fury warrior transmog the arms warrior weapons. Or a frost mage transmog the fire mage sword.
It would require a rework of how the system works to actually introduce these limitations.
Because currently, nothing prevents you from Mogging a 1 hander and shield into double 2 handed swords on a Fury Warrior.
Also, how would that be fair ? A Vengeance DH would be able to mog into Havoc Glaives, but a Prot Warrior is completely SOL ? Would you allow dual wielding Blood Death Knights ? A big 2 hander on Frost Death Knights ?
I think you’re confused… I am not talking about mogging other class weapons. I am talking about one class being able to mog their other artifact weapons that are limited to the specialization. For example, a shadow priest can only mog the artifact dagger but can’t mog the holy/disc staves. I am asking for that limitation to be lifted.
Of course a prot warrior wouldn’t get into it because they don’t have any other artifact weapons than the one-hander and the shield.

No, I’m not.
Neither am I.
So am I.
And I’m saying that if we did that with how the system works, it would create silly situations.
Prot Warriors have 3 artifacts, same as every class but druid and DH, which have 4 and 2 respectively.
You want to introduce limitation the system doesn’t have ? Because right now, on a Fury Warrior, if you equip a shield and 1 hander, and mog into your Fury Artifact, your toon is shown carrying 2 hulking Swords or Axes, but unable to use abilities as they require 2 handed weapons to use and that is not what you have equipped.
Currently, if you equip a 2 hander on a Frost Death Knight, and mog into your artifact, your toon is shown carrying 2 1 handed weapons.
If we lift the spec restriction, then nothing stops a Prot Warrior from using the Fury artifact as it stands in the current system. You’d need to introduce restrictions that do not exist.
And they would have to be arbitrary. Or do you also want to stop a Holy Paladin from using their 2 handed mace artifact when they have a 1 hander and shield ?
You’re getting way too technical over something that is actually simple.
And yes, you are confused. You’re making it sound like I want prot warriors to be able to mog their fury artifact. I never stated that. Prot paladins and prot warriors would of course be unable to mog their off spec weapons due to the major difference in weapon types. I am talking about specific weapons that should have no issue being mogged due to the current specialization.
A fury and arms warrior should be able to share their artifact appearances. A shadow and holy priest should be able to share their artifact appearances. An assassination and subtlety rogue should be able to share theirs. The list goes on. Druids I could see being difficult due to the fact that their feral and tank forms change their physical appearance based on the weapon they have mogged.
Unholy/blood death knights would be able to share their appearances since they are two handed weapons. Unless Blizzard brings back two handed frost in Shadowlands, frost will be stuck with the dual one hander weapons.

I’m not confused, I’m explaining to you how the system currently works and how the limitations like above you want added to it would create unfair scenarios.
Why should Prot Paladins and Prot Warriors have this limitation ?
And why should said limitations be added so arbirtrarily, remember : they do not currently exist.
So again, why do Frost Death Knights get an unfair treatment compare to mages/priests/warlocks ?
And again you keep forgetting : right now the system has no such limitations. You can mog Fury 2 handers over a 1 hander and shield.
It’s really not unfair at all, not sure why you think that. Priests can use daggers, maces, wands, and staves no matter what spec they are in. The same goes for mages and warlocks, minus the mace. Death knights can’t use two handed weapons as frost, or one handed weapons as blood or unholy. That’s Blizzard’s design for that class. Why should other classes be ignored just because one or two other classes have too many weapon limitations based on their specialization. As for warriors being able to mog their fury artifact over a one hander and a shield, I am pretty sure they can only do that as fury spec, and not while in prot spec.
Either way, I am all for this being a change. You’re not going to change my mind just because you think it’s unfair for certain classes. Blame that on Blizzard for making Death Knights too weapon dependent.

Prot Paladins, wielding a 1 hander and shield, get 1 artifact with your new limitations that do not currently exist.
Holy Paladins would get 3 artifacts, even though they also use 1 hander and shields.
Because like I’m trying to explain to you : these limitations currently do not exist AT ALL in the artifact mogging system.
They would need to be actually added, and you’re creating unfair scenarios that would be entirely arbitrary.
