Get rid of DW, DKs should ALWAYS be 2H.

ALL DKs could DW or 2H in Wrath, it should go back to being a Class Choice not a spec choice. (With minimal impact on gameplay)

You could, but unless you wanted to gimp your team, you didnt.
You didn’t create the DK so your headcanon doesn’t matter. Frost was DW, the devs that created it said as much and the best performer has been DW the majority of the time so it has precedence to say on Frost then 2h does which even SM couldn’t help 2h Frost.
Remove 2h and just make a fun spec. Blizzard needs to stop listening to hateful insulting people like you.
Did you play Wrath Classic even in the slightest? DW blood was garbage, DW Unholy (morbidity) didn’t even rely on strike damage and more on gargoyle and pets, and DW Frost was the best option for Frost even if you had SM.
Just because you could do something doesn’t mean it’s a smart idea. If you think all these things you could do should be viable today where is the perma pet DW blood spec at since you “could” do it? Should it even be attempted to balance that with the current design?
This is rich coming from you. Do you even play the game? You are still lvl70 in quest gear from DF. The lack of self-awareness is incredible.
You are the most impressive troll I have ever seen on any forum ever. It is truly something to consider. I am honestly not being sarcastic. True dedication. I respect that.
Keep up the good fight against 2h. Cant let other folks have the ability to use 2h weapons because it might hurt your ability to world quest.

Yes. They should dump it and add a tmog glyph so players have the option to look like they are wielding 2h weapons that swing fast.
No thank you.

So you want to buy into a conversation, attempt to insult like a child, and not actually answer the question.
What are you afraid of that I would accomplish exactly?
What are you talking about headcannon? Are you insane? This is facts! Death Knights were and will ALWAYS be a 2H class, it’s your headcannon that thinks dks should use dw lmao
crazy person
Tell me one single famous DK in the history of Wow lore that is DW.
You can’t because there isn’t

Yes, your headcanon. DK wasn’t and isn’t a 2h only class, that is your headcanon.
Thassarian being one, Marwyn being another, Mograine, some others out in Icecrown, as well as one using a single 1h weapon. Falric uses a 1h and shield.
Tell me you don’t know what you are talking about without telling me you don’t know what you are talking about.
The only real famous in this list is Darion and the OG Darion was a 2H user, his most famous artworks are with a 2H sword.
You are the one that knows nothing.

shifting goalposts is not a good look for you. Thassarian is prominent in multiple parts of the game and dual wields. Darion Mograine has been seen in game dual wielding multiple times and as recently as Shadowlands. Artwork is not relevant to this discussion. You asked for dual wielding dks in the lore of the game and have been provided at least 3 i could name off the top of my head.

Prove it, oh that’s right you can’t.
So which trolls alt are you that you got bored with TWW and have to say blatantly false stuff on the forums to seek out some attention?
Two of those were added in Legion during the forced DW days. The third has switched back-and-forth between the two weapon types, and is canonically unholy. There is also one frost death knight in Hearthstone, who had DW, that’s basically it. There’s more death knights with sword and board in the game.

all three have been in the game since wrath. Darion and Thassarian are part of the Ebon Blade and Marwyn is from Halls of Reflection.
not relevant. NPCs don’t have specs that is a player limitation for balancing purposes.
shifting goalposts again. The original request was for “one” Dk in lore that dual wields.
i listed just a few off the top of my head.

To chime in, I just gave TWW a shot and still on the fence between 2H and DW. I still am rooting for 2H but DW just naturally scales better. Especially since Stoneskin Gargoyle is able to be applied to One-Handers.
The fact that MotFW augments one ability and one ability alone (that is Obliterate) just doesn’t seem to cut it in my eyes:
- 2H Obliterates hit harder, cool. That’s what 30% Increase of Obliterate Damage does.
- 2H also makes auto crits give you KM guaranteed. I don’t know if Icy Death Torrent follows the same principle but Everlasting Winter kind of make Haste have a greater weight for the subspec.
- DW has an extra runeforge and Unholy Bond makes the difference of both specs bigger. This alone is big enough to overshadow above.
Personally, I think 2H needs something else other than increasing Obliterate Damage to compensate the lack of scaling compared to DW thereof. Something pretty significant like:
- Remorseless Winter applying Razorice when wielding a 2-handed weapon. This is a big ask, but this is just as significant as DW having an extra runeforge. Applying multiple RI periodically has been a very rare commodity nowadays. You don’t scale RW’s Damage as 2H anyways so might as well make it a utility option that supplements your abilities.
… and something nice for other abilities like reducing RP cost for Frost Strike by 5 and a different scaling for Frost Fever exclusive to 2-handed. Going back to tossing a coin to restore your runes for every global spent on Frost Strike and have each subspecs scale differently.
But what do I know. I play this game a lot more casually now.
Nothing personal against you, but I’m not sure why we as a community keep suggesting complicated ways to attempt to balance DW and 2h.
Allow 2H, as frost, to apply dual Runeforges and normalize weapon speed. Or remove 2h or DW, devs are literally shooting themselves in the foot by giving themselves additional balance work.
The request was 1 famous DW DK. We went beyond that.
There is Lord- Commander Arete that uses 1 1h.
Initiate Claget using 2 daggers.
Uzo Deathcaller using 2 weapons
Mograine DW
Thassarian DW
Marwyn DW
Falric Axe and shield
There is 7 named death knights that uses something other than a 2h. All of those are from Wrath.
