What is the version you get in WoW matched Maiev’s weapon, and not the sentinel/priestess variety?
I would like to see an Umbra Crescent (that’s the name of the Warden weapon) available for Rogues. That said, it doesn’t replace a Moonglaive available for Hunters and Priests.

Is it not a glaive? Blizz can’t go back in time to make the Illy ones not swords, but it makes perfect sense it is still a GLAIVE and thus used by night elves since…they are Nightelves, regardless if them taking in demon blood makes them an outcast from the society.
Put in a glaive only for DH, irritate a few people because few care enough to have such a problem with it. Remove class fantasy only wep from DH, and risk ticking off lots of DH. It makes more sense for blizz to leave it as is, less people angry.
It’s a Glaive. It’s not a Warglaive. It’s a Moonglaive.
The Demon Hunter weapon type is warglaive, not just glaive.
One is a double-bladed sword. The other is a big shuriken. They are fundamentally different.
I assure you there are more Night Elf players than Demon Hunter players.

I agree. Glaives should be a option for other classes like Hunters, Warriors, and Rogues.
RIP Demo Meta.
You will be missed.

Blizzard classifying a moonglaive as a warglaive tends to agree with me.
There are tons of different types of swords that are just classified as swords(and others that are more long knives, etc):
Kuhkri
Katana
Hand and a half sword
Broad sword
Long sword
Short sword
All of these functionally are the same but still are not “just” swords or blades.
A moonglaive is still a type of glaive
Think like this: All rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles.
Since blizz hasn’t taken to making distinctions between swords, axes, etc from other of their classifications then they won’t start now.
So Blizzard legit removed the most iconic starting area of just about any MMORPG, Teldrassil, from the game, mid expansion, in a quest to be edgy.
Think about the lack of respect they have for their property, the lore, and every single player that’s ever rolled a Night Elf - from the myriads of Legolasssess, to the guy RP-ing in the tram, and every average player in between.
You think they give a dog’s turd for what they did with Moonglaives?
I mean, I totally agree with you, but they don’t give hoot about how Moonglaives should have been implemented. (Unfortunately)

Dude, I literally own a Warlock Axe.
It’s classified as a staff.
Are you going to argue that Axes are a type of staff?
Sometimes WoW Classifies one type of weapon as something else because reasons.
Warglaives are Warglaives. Moonglaives are not.

It was, and still is, absolutely tone deaf to not allow Night Elves to have access to their iconic weapon outside of Demon Hunters.
Like i said, just add it as a fist weapon transmog. That lets a number of classes use it, as well as demon hunters if they wish.
There are a couple of weapons in the game already that are classified as fist weapons but are clearly warglaives, so the reverse can also be true
That is more like a scythe there…
Which also makes my point. Scythes in game are classified as polearms, but to use one is different than a spear…
point still being polearm is polearm, glaive is glaive. It is in the name of moonglaive. The DH look to use it just fine despite not being a glaive in your opinion.
still no classic troll glaive that vol’jin use
still no BC demon hunter basic glaive that npcs use

But if trolls don’t get them, blizz is defecating on race identity of all trolls…
You are not prepare for our glaives!
Yeah, cool as it is, I don’t see how this belongs on my Demon Hunter Nelf and not my actual Hunter. We literally have Night Elf Huntresses running into battle with them (Survival?). I will switch from BM to Surivial with this toon just to use it.
Hopefully they will release another set specifically for our Night Elves who didn’t consume a demon’s soul. They have done stuff like that, once release an item just for a class, then later that stuff comes out later.
(Also, in regards to the Kaldorei Archer set my elf is wearing now. How on earth did Blizzard not think the moonglaive would go well with it.
The most important scythe in the game, the scythe of elune, is a staff.
Weapon classifications dont have to make sense, they just have to give us options.
Moonglaives as a fist weapon would be entirely appropriate. Here’s some “glaives” that are already in the game as fist weapons:
These are both the vengeance-style warglaive design used by demon hunters, as fist weapons.
These are both throwing-style glaives, akin to what the huntresses use in function if not form.
And of course let’s not forget the twinblades of azzinoth, which can already be used by warriors, rogues, etc.

They look nothing alike.

They don’t look alike but are classified the same, same as the Scythe not looking like a spear, but are still polearms.
I understand what you want, but I am saying what you want steals the class identity from DHs. Glaives are glaives all boiled down in blizz logic, period. That is why only DH have them. You CAN be a Nelf with the glaives, roll a DH. It is super simple. I see why blizz doesn’t give into people more these days.
They finally give Nelf’s that Iconic weapon, but since only DH can use it people complain, instead of just get excited they can use it. Might as well not implement anything new, since no matter what they do people like you(your mindset here not you specifically here for anything else, haven’t seen all your responses) are just going to complain.
We get High elves some day, and your mindset will complain they don’t have some minor detail that their fans think they should have.
They release the undead belfs, people get mad that they can’t use the mouth covers or something.
They release light forged undead and then no matter what faction gets it, the other faction complains because it should be on theirs.
Not a dang thing they can do matters because those that feel their mentality is correct get hurt because they didn’t get their opinion justified by blizz, and they are incapable of accepting things as is for the game and just enjoy it.
As far as the Azzinoths I mentioned previously so tossing those out like something that disproves me, they didn’t have DH out then (sadly) so they classified that as sword, but now that they are out, they even put in the appearance only for DH, so that sort of proves my point too. Even if you obtained those on a warrior, you can only use it on your DH. See?
You purposefully ignore the all rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles analogy for these. I will grant you the mindset not all warglaives are moonglaives BUT they are STILL glaives. It is in the name.
