How would you implement Blademaster?

It would be cool if every class had an option for a heroic spec but I have no idea how that would go about being implemented.

Nah. Blademaster is a distinctly orc thing. It would be nice if there were some glyphs or new talents to add to the blademaster fantasy, though.

edit

I didn’t realize Telaamon was a Blademaster. He may have been the only one among the draenei, though. So the Alliance’s chances of having Blademasters may have died with him.

Account created b4 2010 :^) how to make everyone mad.

This could be a cool gap closer. Speed buff + short-term stealth. Wouldn’t be too op at all

That could easily be done with pet mechanics. Just summon 3 copies of your character with lower health and damage.

When 4th specs come out this could be a new 2h spec for either monks or rogues.

Blademasters are based loosely on Samurai. Samurai are warriors, not monks.

Monks also can’t use 2H Swords, nor can Rogues use 2H Swords and Polearms.

I said the same, but the lore and gameplay of arms warrior is nothing close to the blizzard blademaster

That is depressingly true. :frowning:
The closest I’ve come to a Blademaster gameplay-wise is a Survival Hunter.
