Glaive or not to glaive

For you DHs out there, do you primarily transmog glaives or do you use other weapons ?

Seems like most DHs I’ve seen roll with glaives. I just started playing my DH after abandoning her for about a year. Since picking her back up, just got so sick of glaives. I know they are signature to the DH class, some seem to always go with glaives for lore.

To me glaives are pretty ugly, mainly due to Blizz not creating enough glaives that really look cool. They haven’t really gone out of their way to make DH gear look very attractive.

I seem to prefer swords, the slicing of DH abilities for me pair well with swords. Haven’t tried axes and on my female blood elf fist weapons appear way to big and look silly so I won’t be using them anytime soon.

Only glaive i’ll mog is Umberwing from the Mage Tower challenge (vengeance only artifact skin).

And that’s only because it seems to be the only glaive model i dont see around often. Good looking glaive skins are rather limited.

For VDH, I actually like the model from defeating the dude under the Fel Hammer over the mage tower appearance, but that’s just me.

I use them all. Glaives, swords, fists and occasionally axes. I typically only use swords and axes that strap on my back because they look pretty badazz carried that way. However it also depends on the mog I’m rocking. I have the havoc mage tower glaives but I just like to switch things up now and again. As a leather wearer we’re limited in our color schemes and sometimes another wep makes the mog pop just a little bit more. To me at least.

I change my transmogs often, but the majority of them have Glaives as their weapons.

They look so good, why wouldn’t I use them? Warglaives of Azzinoth, Havoc’s Mage Tower appearances and some of Vengeance’s appearances (Mage Tower is horrendous for Vengeance) look awesome.

I established this transmog, including the flame glaives, near the end of Legion and I doubt I’ll be changing it, I just like the look too darn much.

I always use swords

I use the smallest weapons I can find.

Glaives look very dumb when sheathed…

BUT the Havoc spell animations just work so well with glaives. Plus, it’s kind of a unique and frankly well fitting aesthetic on the DH, like the lightsaber to the Jedi.

I have giant lobster claws. It looks…awesome. Yeah, we will go with awesome.

They go really well with your xmog. But i doubt they can slice very effectively lol.

BTW, impressed you got that name.

The weapons are the only mogged items. everything else is just that gear. Who cares about slicing when you can club!
I got this name the very minute we were allowed to make demon hunters.
