I would love to see the skills that require “Daggers”, like Backstab, Mutilate, etc. to include “Fist Weapons”. There are some really good looking fist weapons in the game, and including them in those skill requirements would give Rogues more options for transmog and stat adjustment. Also, from a lore perspective, performing those skill actions with fist weapons would seem perfectly viable. Obviously, using swords or maces for those skills is just silly, but fist weapons would be viable.
Anyone have an opinion?
Edit: At least, if not adding the ability to use fist weapons with those skills, it would be nice to see the ability to transmog a dagger into a fist weapon.
Can’t you just transmorg the daggers into fists? Or is it a different system altogether. I know Polearms/2h Swords/2H everything else can also change to look like each other. I would have thought dagger/fist falls into the same category.
How does one do anything with runestones floating around their fists? I mean… it is fantasy. But visualizing it IRL, a set of brass knuckles could perform a quasi-back’stab’. People are carrying around weapons that are larger than themselves with void energy spilling off the blades, and the logistics if ‘backstabbing with fist weapons’ is where you lose your ability to enjoy the impossibilities?
I wish. That’s why I brought it up. You can not transmog daggers into fist weapons, which is why I also included that last bit in my OP about allowing us to do so.
Runestones enhance magical attacks like Monk punches and Shaman hits.
I’m not saying they can’t or shouldn’t do something if it were possible. I’m just saying it may be a reason why they haven’t. Probably also a coding thing for specific weapons and may even be a “we don’t want more specs fighting over fist weapons” thing.
You can only transmog across weapon types of the weapons in question are mechanically identical. A polearm and a two handed sword of the same Ilvl aren’t any more different from each other than two different polearms of the same ilvl, for example.
Fist weapons and one-handed melee weapons are mechanically identical.
Daggers are not. They hit more often for less damage compared to the other one handed weapons.
They could change fist weapons to be equivalent to daggers, but that would mess up all the Monks, Warriors, and Shaman currently using them as standard one-handed melee weapons.
They can’t transmorg. I understand that. But don’t try to use logic. We can transmorg Guns into Bows. We can also transmorg Swords into Fist Weapons. Mechanically identical or not is pretty irrelevant at that point
