Give Death Knights the access to Frostmourne appearance

You’re wrong, and here is official sources:

Frostmourne was the mourneblade of the Lich King. A fearsome, rune-inscribed two-handed longsword,

Blood of the Highborne is a novella focusing on the creation of the Blood Knights. Its existence was first mentioned at Blizzcon 2010, when Chris Metzen said that it had been written but they had never found a good way to release it.

You don’t grip a sword like that in battle, the Art is just flair, but in game, and in the trailer, he only uses one hand to weild it, you can go to ICC and see for yourself.

Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit.” Frostmourne was the mourneblade of the Lich King. A fearsome, rune-inscribed two-handed longsword, it possessed the power to shatter and imprison the souls of its victims and could remake the living into mindless undead.

I payed W3 he wields it with both hands lol.

I am holding a 2h sword in just one hand right now, same as a 2h Axe or a Polearm.

That doesn’t make them 1h.

I’m not denying that, but WC3 isnt WoW, in WoW he’s using only 1h to weild it the entire expansion.

Did he use one hand or both when he ripped out that guys soul in the shadowlands cinematics.

1 Hand: source

Uther died to a 1h sword not a 2h.

Warcraft 3 was weird arthas wielded his mace in 1h and hold a book with the other, and when he took Frostmourne he used 1h because his paladin model only allowed him to do that, there were no visuals for 2h swords.

And when he mounts invincible he is wielding that in 1h because well he gotta stay mounted while attacking.

But using the arguments of how visuals or mechanics were in warcraft 3 to say that Frostmourne is a 1h sword is way too much of a stretch, we’ve seen it in game already and it is a 2h sword, plus sources confirm that.

He used 2h when he parried Dranosh’s axe.

That is a 2h sword.

He’s holding it with one hand in the artwork, you can even see the proportion when he’s lying on the ground dead with the sword right next to him in the cinematic.

If you played a character that has a 2h weapon, you would see that you hold your 2h weapon in one hand.

Warriors can only do that as fury as some weird change that came about in Cata. But that doesn’t deny that Frostmourne, in WoW has always been a 1h sword. Which is why they made sure people understood that.

The Lich King has Frostmourne in a scabbard at his hip. I would love to see how a 2H goes in a scabbard…

No because here are a few things that are issues here.

If you think most dks will spend a whole season(s) or what ever how long for an appearance? We had so many complaining how long and expensive getting the last legendary was. No one is going to spend all the time on just an appearance!

Second let’s not forget what the “reforging” of the helm of domination looked like aka. the crown of wills nightmare was like.

Third if you want something frostmourne we can already get shadowmourne that will take you roughly three months to get and it still looks quite good even after all these years.

You want frostmourne because it’s unique and no one can get it. If devs open it all so all dks can get it then it will no longer be special or unique. It will become just another weapon you see and it will lose meaning.

When attacking he used both hands. Only using 1 hand on the weapon when summoning undead from what I remember.

Yet it looks nothing like Frostmourne and it’s not a 2 hand. So no.

More source for it being a 1h

Whatever you want to believe dude, I quoted a wiki already.

Arthas wield that 2h to attack.

And by your flawed logic, The Ashbringer is also a 1h sword, as you can see here Tirion wielding that in 1h and holding a flag with another hand:
