Feels like an Ashbringer situation, once everyone has one its not special anymore

But that is already settled, the shamans have the doomhammer, paladins have the ashbringer, demon hunters have the warglaives of azzinoth, but when it comes to Death Knights, no we do not have Frostmourne.
If the precedent didnât exist I wouldnât be arguing for one to be made.

Ironic for the class that is the only one with a day 1 legendary in dragonflight.
A replica version? Sure, Iâd be down, but reforging the old one wouldnât be the best move in my opinion. That sort of already happened anyway with the frost DK artifact weapon since they used shards of Frostmourne to forge a new weapon entirely.
fair, I mean we start getting into this weird area where if everyone had it then itâs not really special anymore.
Like when people get Invincible, nobody cares, but I guess people still like to point it out.

But thatâs just it; what henceforth is proposing would just lead to every dk running around with it and it would be rendered meaningless anyways, so why not just let everyone use it?
I think the best comparison is the iconic weapons for the classes like Doomhammer for shamans, Ashbringer for Paladins, Warglaives for Demon Hunters.
Still, these weapons remain iconic for their classes, because they remain exclusive to their classes.

but, heaven forbid, canonically speaking neither one of those weapons got shattered into pieces.
On one hand the community whines that Blizzard doesnât respect the lore, then on the other they respect the lore and the community whines. Thereâs no winning is there?

No one wants this. No one at all.
Have done in the past, would be amazing and possibly a one thousand better artifact than some 2h sword no one has ever heard of before.
BUT.
I understand the lore behind Axe of Cenarius in that its currently weilded by Broxigars nice, and thats the lore reason behind not having it - almost like the same reeason dkâs do not have frostmourne because they destroyed it.
If Axee of Cenarius was to be introduceed as a weapon model, it should be available to everyone because it is not the actual weapon, just a look alike.

Then that is your problem, not mine.
So was the Ashbringer wielded by Tirion and they had absolutely no reason to kiil him to give to the paladins.
Boohoo.
Quest: wear the blades of the fallen prince near the Primus.

No you have the reforged shards of Frostmourne, the same as paladins have a cleansed version of the once corrupted Ashbringer and only a memory of something that sort of looked like it.

Youâre reaching here.
The corrupted Ashbringer is NOT the weapon original state and look. The model for the Ashbringer existed before the corrupted ashbringer even existed.
Paladins have BOTH looks, corrupted and the cleansed, and several other improved looks of Ashbringer as well.
DKs have 2 small sticks that have absolutely no resemblance or whatever with Frostmourne.

They have the reforged look, not the original. They have a memory (hidden) of the corrupted one that the only thing even remotely similar is the skull in place of the glowy light thing.
Dkâs have the reforged look. A great thing would have been to have a hidden appearance of something similar to what it might have looked like.
You are not asking for a smiilar look, you are asking for the look of the weapon as Arthus weilded it. Its gone. You are asking for a remake of it - sure i dont disagree but im saying that for lore purposes it would have to be a fake, a pretend weapon and there is no reason to gate that only to dkâs from a lore perspective.
Sure there could be a dk only class order hall quest where you go about creating a new runeblade - you do this as a starter dk btw, your first weapon - or maybe some dk decided that they want another mourneblade to recreate the power of Frostmourne, like Anduins weapon who isnt a DK so why would it be DK only.
I get it, you want to run around as a mini Arthus all evil and looking cool- im ok for this and would instantly tmog all my dkâs as it and never change it.
It really sounds like you are not asking for the transmog weapon tho, you want the actual Frostmourne and im sorry to state this again and again - YOU DESTROYED IT, IT GONE BRO. Look at your pitiful small sticks and remeember that amazing lore, beging to cherish that those small sticks were once considereed one of the most poweerful weapons ever created.
Which honestly doesnât and shouldnât matter. Tie it to Wrath Timewalking and make up some wibbly wobbly timey-wimey bs to justify DKs being able to mog it provided theyâve completed the Shadowmourne line and completed Timewalking Ulduar.

I hate having a legendary. I hate being forced to kill the last boss so many times over for the low rng item and then having to do the stupid grind on top of it. But I still had to do all of them, all for the privilege of being able to be competitive.
Other classes without legendaries arenât gated from doing well, just the ones with them. I pray my class never gets another legendary again unless everyone gets one just to even the playing field.

The original look IS The Ashbringer, not the corrupted.
DKs do not have the original weapon.
All the other classes do.
Shamans do have the original doomhammer.
Paladins have the Original Ashbringer.
Demon Hunters have the original Warglaives of Azzinoth.
It doesnât matter.
Everything is possible. Youâre arguing here like youâre the specialist of what is possible or not in game.
Youâre not.
You are not even getting the facts straight.
Make a new timewalking version of ICC and DKs who have Blades of the fallen prince and shadowmourne unlock a 2h sword visual of Frostmourne for DKs only.
It would be little cheap but I would settle for it.

Personally, I donât even think they need to go that far. Just tie it to existing assets and call it good.
- Shadowmourne questline completed
- Timewalking Ulduar completed
Then it unlocks the moggable version usable by DKs the exact same way it works for Demon Hunters and Glaives.

And you are here arguing the same thing. You feel entitled to have a 2h sword appearance because you are a DK and that it should be DK specific. Based pretty much solely on the fact that a Lich King turned DK once weilded it.
Lich Kings power was tied to the Helm of Domination and the sword was created to eat souls. When was the last time you as a DK absorbed anyones soul? I mean has any DK ever absorbed anyones soul in the history of wow? DK runic power comes from learning to create a runeblade, their runes are actually what they put on their weapon.

Iâm arguing for a possibility.
Youâre arguing for NO possibility.
And yet, Arthas became a Death Knight without even touching the Helm of the Domination.
He turned his men into Death Knights without the helm of the domination either.
Iâve said it before, and Iâll say it againâŚ
I would gladly bear any curse to save my necropolis.
Give us Frostmourne.
