Really disappointed about the inability to transmog warglaives. As someone that was likely going to just fart around until Shadowlands, this may be the pettiest reason I unsub.
considering I earned that “unique reward” ON my rogue, I agree. I spent weeks changing my gear to go outlaw and figuring out how to match my assass dps, JUST to transmog this…Maybe they shoulda let Wowhead know “hey guys, the warglaives are still just for the demon hunters”…almost mad enough to delete my demon hunter out of spite
" Developers’ note: The Warglaives of Azzinoth dropped from Illidan in Black Temple are the one exception, as a custom method for Demon Hunters in particular to obtain this transmog appearance already exists through Black Temple Timewalking, and we do not want to diminish the value of that unique reward.
Wow, I’ve been trying to get those swords for quite some time now but took a break until I heard the news about finally being able to transmog these. I finally got lucky and finished it recently and was really happy of having a cool extra transmog for my monk, rogue, warrior, and DK in additional to my two DHs.
Really? You’d try to sneak this change in last minute instead of making it clear up front from the start and saving some people some headache, heartbreak, and time.
I almost want to stop playing my DHs out of spite now and they can use the transmog I finally unlocked.
The warglaive change is one of the dumbest things ever. I barely have enough time to play anymore but i was subscribed looking forward to my rogue & monk being able to use it. Might just cancel until Shadowlands.
So yes, after reaching rank 15 (no matter how fast that is), it will take an additional 42 weeks to get the maximum resistance on the cloak via Malefic Cores.

Don’t rogues get “Thunderfury” from ironically the same mechanism? A specific to class artifact appearance. Does this mean Thunderfury will also be non transmogable due to the unique in game mechanism to be obtained by rogues?
Seems inconsistent. Just make them all transmogable by usable classes instead of cherry picking when to apply a justification.
I completely agree i think this decision is really rude towards the general player base. Not everyone wants to play the lame class of DH, and its not special to them because you can earn the achievement to use the warglaives on them ON ANY CHARACTER why should dh players be special and be able to use the coolest weapon transmog in the game, but we are screwed? I am actually very disappointed.
I think the decision to make warglaives specific to DH when the achievement that allows DH to use the warglaives isn’t specific to any characters is asinine. There is a huge group of players who were so excited for warglaives that started farming them for the look. This is a huge kick to the groin for those players, and because WoW devs want DH players to be special snowflakes? I could understand if it was Legion artifact Weapons that were from the very beginning specific to the classes, these items existed long before DH’s were a thing. It’s honestly silly, and such a waste of a lot of peoples times since the beginning of transmogrification. So many players have been waiting for this, and to have a glimmer of hope. Just shoved away for such a silly reason. “DH Special Hurr durr” is how it feels.
Why not make the Timewalking BT Reward a higher-quality/updated version of the Warglaives and allow the main/offhand be free for rogues/warriors?
This really sucks for those of us with warriors/rogues who farmed them out on those classes with the hope of one day mogging them. It’s a huge kick in the unmentionables for those who have had them since BC as well.
And shouldn’t this mentality be applied to Combat Rogues and Thunderfury, as well then?
If you’re going to restrict an appearance because ‘This class had it unique first!’ then don’t cherry pick which ones are uwu special enough uwu to screw over everyone else who farmed out the weapons, some of us for YEARS, to make an already special class even more special.
I guess it makes sense for Demon Hunters to be the only class able to transmog into the Warglaives, when the Warglaives were introduced 10 Years before Demon Hunters were. This restriction only serves to further spit in the face of the playerbase.
