New Quel'Serrar

Is there a chance a 2-Handed version could be added two the arsenal, similar to the Sargeras sword from the trading post?

If I remember correctly, the Wrath of the Lich King version had a 2-handed option as well, so possibly the temple blade can be made to work that way?

Please :pray:

The sword you are thinking of is Quel’Delar, I think. There’s a Quel’Serrar in Wrath that drops from Onyxia, but there is no 2-handed version. Keeping this arsenal as one-handed blades only makes sense.

Yeah i was also disappointed by the lack of a 2 hander. I get they’re different swords but come on. Same style. It would still look cool.

And you know, we paid a lot of gold for them. Throw us a bone.

Yeah, which is another remake of Quel’serrar.

How does making a two-handed version not “make sense” though? Also I believe the sword we are thinking of is the temple blade, so it could probably be 2-handed as well :wink:

Quel’delar is canonically not Quel’serrar. It’s its own blade with its own story connected to it.

This new sword is just a loreless graphical upscale of QS. Which is 1h only.

Okay, but its still a remake of the original sword. The “Temple Blade” isnt even the same color scheme as the original Quel’Serrar. Would it really bother you if there was a two-handed version?

I think that’s the one that I have on my Ret Paladin that started with a quest drop in the ICC area. It looks pretty much like the new vendor weapon, but is 2-handed.

I may be wrong. I completed the quest 4-5 years ago. It’s a really nice graphic, though.

Quel’serrar was 1 handed only. No rules about this loreless new guy.

Nothing would bother me if it was a 2h blade, I’d perfer the option. Just that doesn’t make QD and QS the same thing.

What I want isn’t super relevant to the conversation. The gold color isn’t great, either.

Quel’Delar had several variations:

  • Quel’Delar 2H Might of the Faithful
  • Quel’Delar 2H Ferocity of the Scorned
  • Quel’Delar 1H Cunning of the Shadows
  • Quel’Delar 1H Lens of the Mind

I’m pretty sure that I bought the quest item for the 2-handed weapon from the AH if that helps any.

I had spent so much time there without seeing the item drop that I went ahead and bought it. The quest was actually extensive and well done. I enjoyed it.

You bought the Battered Hilt from the AH… Unlike the Foror’s Compendium of Dragonslaying, that item still works for starting the questline…

That sounds right. Like I said, it has been a while.

I think I still have a battered hilt laying around somewhere. Not sure what to do with it, maybe I’ll let it sit in bank for 20 years

Quel’Delar is another blade entirely, with its own backstory and lore to go with it.

And Quel’Serrar was a one-handed blade. Keeping the arsenal the way it is to reflect that makes perfect sense.

I’m not against the idea of a 2-handed version. I’m just saying that the implementation reflects what the weapon is/was way back when.

Quel’Delar is not in fact Quel’Serrar but it’s sister blade. They got their own stories and thus no Quel’Serrar does not come in a two handed variant unlike it’s sibling

I had to log in my Paladin to find out that this is the one that I have.

Edit: It’s a massive 2-handed sword!

I feel like we’re forgetting that these weapons, while based on the Quels, are not the Quels. It’s not necessarily beholden to either weapon’s precedent.

I would welcome 2h options, as it would make the 200k investment usable on like twice as many characters, but I don’t know if I’d ever use 'em so it doesn’t make a difference to me.

They were both wielded by elven soldiers before they ended up where we find them…so… they’re at least elven blades. If only the hilt of quel’delar wasn’t so expensive and refusing to drop for me I’d have it already. Idk…about paying the heavy sum for glowing golden quel’serrar replicas though. I thought the other skins of that sword were going to be on the trading post not gold sinks sold by the BMAH

Honestly at this point, should just uprez the original models rather than releasing HD dupes. Same goes for mounts.
