Rogue and warrior could use bow guns and crossbows.
warglaives aren’t unique to one class. warrior and rogue could use it.
I know, that was before there were any warglaive categories.
But the truth is that specific pair of warglaives could be equipped and used by warrior and rogue.
My point is warrior and rogues should be able to use the whole war glaive category if they were able to use THE twin warglaives that can ONLY be transmogged by demon hunters.

Survival actually is fully capable of duel wielding, their weapon abilities just don’t function properly.

I would rather they just remove the warglaive designation and make them one handed swords again. There was no need to separate them out into their own weapon type when they already existed as swords.

Bow, gun, and crossbow?

Most players bag on DH’s - the mobs shout: Nerf 'em!
Yeah, we got the warglaives. Live with it.

I’m okay with this…I’m okay with anything that has to do with more Transmog options

No thank you
Actually, there could be a gameplay reason: new attack animations. I’m pretty sure I’ve noticed this character moving differently when she equips a sword but hasn’t transmogged over it yet. It would make sense, since if my sword had another sword coming out the bottom of it, I’d want to make sure I was not pointing either blade at myself by accident.
To the thread at large: I’d make the point that there are essentially two “warglaives” that exist in game that can (or ever could) be used by classes besides demon hunters. One is obvious. The other is the Fist of the Diety - it drops off Moorabi in Gundrak and is currently classified as a fist weapon, but is overall similar in shape to the Aldrachi Warblades. There might be others that i haven’t seen yet.
In my opinion these weapons form enough precedent to allow other classes - warriors, outlaw rogues, and probably monks (but they don’t usually wield their weapons) have my vote - to equip warglaives, even if they can’t be used with some of their abilities.
Just to end with a hot take: why we’re all those glaives dropping as greens during BFA, especially on kul’tiras where they don’t even have the shadow hunter excuse? They were butt ugly (Except that one with 3 points, but that one was butt ugly while sheathed) and it made no sense to find them there. Seems like it was just “oh yeah we made a whole new weapon type last expansion that’s the first choice for the only class we made that can use them, so we’d better throw in some new appearances or the players will complain.” sigh.
Then again, opening glaives up to a couple more classes would make that seem less random (maybe the tul’tiran designs were used by pirate rogues?)
100% on board for more customization! My dream class is shadowhunter and anything that can get me closer to that would be amazing.
If you are going to include that sort of weapon as a Warglaive there are two more fist weapons than just that one.
There is The Bladefist from Kargath in Highmaul in WoD
The Mindscythe of the Legion from Hellfire Citadel in WoD

You two points contradict each other really.
I’d say warriors are the LAST class that should be able to use it, followed by DKs and Paladins.
Warglaives are agility weapons (and i don’t mean the in game stat) They’re specifically designed to skillfully slice into your opponent making superficial but debilitating cuts. A rogue or monk would make sense with these, but warriors DKs and Paladins are all about smash the biggest weapon i can find into you repeatedly until you stop moving.

I’m not opposed to more classes being able to use them but why would anyone want to? Warglaives barely look good using dh attack animations on other classes they would just look janky.
The Sentinel’s Moonglaive, a weapon used by the Night Elf military, is only usable by Demon Hunters, outcasts in Night Elf society. I find that ridiculous.

That is because 'tis.
Blizz needs to make a Warden spec for rogue, imo.

Warglaives never should have been added. Recategorize them as “Swords” for the sake of not being an obnoxious anomaly.
Also, the next class we get needs to be able to use ranged weapons. Ranged weapons existing makes sense, Hunters (Archers, whatever) are a fairly standard RPG staple, but the class has had that weapon category all to itself outside of stat stick slots for, you know, 16 years. It’s dumb.

I remember seeing that and being mad about it. I don’t even play Night Elves but it just felt wrong.
That looks so much like the Aldrachi blades that I’m surprised they didn’t just class the latter as a fist weapon as well. It wouldn’t have broken the game if they had done so.
Adds hfc to list of mog farming destinations
That’s absurd. There’s a ton of non-demon hunter npcs that use glaives.

All weapons are just stat sticks for Mages so if we can carry enormous swords, why not a glaive?
