There’s just no excuse for an entire weapon type existing and only being usable by 1 single class. People might bring up ranged weapons, but before was it MoP or WoD I can’t remember, other classes did actually use them, and even still those classes can at least collect them for transmog, but Warglaives are 1 class and have always been 1 class, it makes 0 sense why Warriors, who are all about mastering Weapons, can’t use them, or Rogues, who fit Warglaives perfectly can’t use them either. Especially when they drop off raid bosses when there’s a possibility you only have 1 DH on your team.

As a completely uninterested party, I agree. DH have had it too good for too long.

What’s more they aren’t even restricted to DH in the lore.
Sentinels? They use Warglaives. Spellbreakers and Quel’thalan guards? Warglaives.
No reason whatsoever that a Kaldorei, Quel’dorei, Ren’dorei, or Shal’dorei wouldn’t be able to use them, and no reason their use wouldn’t proliferate among the warriors of various other cultures be it by natural coexistence or monetary incentive.

At the very least this should be available for all troll and elf race and class combos that can use melee weapons already. It’s their cultural weapons.
Blizzard bent over backwards to make Demon Hunters feel special. That should change.

its weird that we have weapons that 1 single class can use only and its not even like its 1 class since we have bows xbows and guns for hunters and then warglaives for dh. staffs should be priest only because i dont want to share weapons with other classes either

I honestly dont think warriors should have warglaives. I think it should Stay a DH thing, as much as Id like to add that mog type to my mogs. In terms of Lore, I can not imagine being told to “pick up a weapon because we are going to war” and the first thing anyone going for besides a DH is a warglaive and as you are training to be a warrior I once again dont see anyone training with a Glaive vs a Sword,axe, or hammer. It just doesnt fit imo.

I thought this was going the other way. Warriors are supposed to be proficient in all weapons, rogues to a somewhat similar extent but warglaives might be heavy enough that a rogue might not favor it. Warriors should master all weapon types though.

That would also be something that the classes that could use it should have unlocked.
What lore? We already have guards that use the weapons for both horde and alliance. You sure you aren’t talking about your personal headcanon?

I have a solution
Pick your elf race, night elf or blood elf and play demon hunter
Plus it’s demon hunters right to have an iconic weapon tied to them
That’s like getting mad because you can’t shoot a blunderbuss/bow as a warrior/rogue
There was no outcry when rogues had thrown weapon speciality

I was wondering about the possibility of loosing mog restrictions. Like, allowing more armor types per class and maybe weapons. Even if it were just one, as in “a warrior can choose mail and warglaives as a new addition to mog options”.
Maybe Nelves and Belves could get a racial allowing warglaives to be transmogged.
I think it’d be easier to implement if this were completely restricted to mogs, not actually giving the option to use those armor types and weapons.

honestly I got to say plain and simply, Transmogrification should not be restricted by any means, they are appearances not gear itself, plus that would open up more Mog Options for all Classes regardless of player’s race while keeping Heritage Armor tied to the specific races as well.
cause I would actually like to be able to transmog cloth, leather or mail over my plate, to look normal enough or to fit a theme better than what we are currently restricted with.
Plus Warglaives shouldn’t be class specific, cause If we were after let’s say one of the Uldir Versions and it winds up dropping on a non demon hunter class, it would wind up upsetting the player, would it not? kinda thinking with the current way “Cosmetic” items work with you just right clicking the item and it adds the appearance to your collection. as an alternative mean to collect the appearance. when not the specific class.

DHs never needed an entire weapon type to themselves, especially when the first warglaives added back in TBC are classified as swords and can still be used by warriors, rogues, DKs, and monks. There are also multiple non-DH NPCs wielding warglaives or similar weapons, most obviously Tyrande and the kyrian.
The main argument against expanding warglaive access seems to be “DHs need them to feel special” as if losing that bit of uniqueness would be the end of the world and they wouldn’t still have their own barber options, summon mounts, class-specific voices, etc. As compensation, I’m also open to letting them equip staves and polearms if the art team is willing to come up with new animations for them.

… no.
The warglaive is not just a weapon in the game, it’s a tool representative of an entire style of fighting that is based upon that weapon.
It’s like a rogue’s dagger, if you’re in the wrong spec, you will notice many of your attacks just don’t work and the same goes for a lot of other classes. Other examples would be Marksman hunters with polearms, Protection warriors with two-handed weapons, and so-on… the spec and style merit the weapon versatility.

I have to admit, that always baffled me when it came to Warriors.
I get why they can’t equip wands, but warglaives are just another bladed weapon so Warrior should be able to wield them.

Shamans should be able to use swords now too.
I didn’t think he was talking about that. But putting in a plug for unlocking Warglaives of Azzinoth transmog on dual wielders, or at least those that have unlocked the DH transmog.
I think warglaives are fine as they are. I play warrior and the stricking style of war glaives doesn’t fit.

But ranged weapons are only usable by 1 class, hunters.
So there are 2 weapons locked to 1 class.
Also warriors are too oonga boonga to unserstand a sophisticated weapon like a warglaive. And rogues arent edgy enough to pull off using a warglaive correctly.
So no. No warriors to warriors and no to rogues. We will consider hunters at our next meeting.
Warriors can equip ‘em, an’ gain their transmogs, but Hunters are tha only ones that can make good use o’ 'em.
