I guess I did there a bit haha my bad. I was just saying since warriors already can use all weapons they would be able to use those too. Not that they would because of stats of course. Yeah I’m all for rogues and monks using warglaives I think that would be awesome.
I mean if you think about it you see what happened to THE warrior (saurfang) when it became a contest of agility.
Obviously Warriors should be able to use em.
Completely disgraceful that Moonglaives were finally added to the game, then subsequently restricted to Demon Hunters.
I’ve loved that weapon ever since Wrath, but it took until pretty recently for me to find a transmog to use it with. My troll Outlaw rogue dual wields them as part of her “De Mon Hunta” transmog.

I think any agility based melee that can use swords should be able to use them… rogues, survival hunters, maybe druids. Shaman would be left out because they can’t (?) use swords.
Strength based need not apply… warriors, dks, paladin. Too bulky.
Then they’re not “fully capable.”
Emphasis on the word fully.
Always thought warglaives and the like were elvish weapons so why not give them to all dual wielding elves. Probably solved.
Beside the fact that having a racially-restricted weapon class creates all kinds of loot table balance issues, warglaives have never been exclusively an elven weapon. Most notably, they have been the signature weapon of troll shadowhunters since WC3.

Good catch. I only know the rts games from watching a buddy play them. I was being a little facetious racial weapons would indeed be a loot nightmare.
Even Tyrande, a priest(ess) of Elune as a Night Warrior dual wields glaives.
Self necro and all, but a year and a half and a new expansion later, and the situation around warglaives remains unchanged. And with the launch of Dragonflight M+ Season 1, it’s feeling especially egregious, as demon hunters have as many warglaives alone available to them from keys as enhancement shaman have weapons total. Outlaw rogues only come out one better thanks to a 1h agi sword, but still top out at 3 weapons for the season to demon hunters’ 5.
Meanwhile, the new raid features a bunch of troll shaman primalist trash mobs leading up to Grimtotem dual wielding warglaives.
Blizz. This is ludicrous. Open up warglaives to warriors, rogues, and shaman at the very least. Warriors because universal weapon proficiency is kinda their thing, and rogues and shaman because they both fit the lore, fit the aesthetic, and are facing unbalanced weapon loot tables against demon hunters.

I’ll always support warglaives going to other classes because there really was no reason for the first new weapon type since vanilla to be usable by one class and one class only, and we see plenty of non-DH NPCs using them, most obviously the kyrian. Plus, if they plan on letting more races be DHs in the future, they might as well give every race warglaive animations now to save them the trouble of making them later.
