It seems that the Warglaives of Azzinoth are only classified as Warglaives in the Xmog system. Could someone in the Dev team please also apply the sword tag to it so that non-DH eligible can Xmog.

Itâs a DH only Transmog. They have no intention of leatting the other classes use it.

Yeah, evidently me even wearing my warglaives (I logged out in them) would be âdiminishing the valueâ of those who earned that achievement to allow them to xmog them on their DH (which you donât even have to complete on a DH to earn).

Do you have a source for that Cynahliia?
It was a Rogue / Warrior weapon long before DH existed. So Iconic that people had it tattooed to them.
No itâs not a DH only, They said that since War/Rogues can use it⌠it should be aviliable for them but somehow itâs not not sure why.
Either you need to unlock it by that char, or bug or like you said intended I guess? Which I doubt.
Itâs right in the patch notes. I think itâs completely ridiculous, since I literally have them on both my Warrior and my Rogue (check my profile, Iâm doing exactly what theyâre trying to prevent by WEARING THEM, take that Demon Hunters).
Many legendary weapons are now transmogrifiable.
- Developersâ 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.

Itâs a DH only MOG and not a bug. And like Bigbadboom said, itâs literally in the patch notes.

However, itâs also WRONG! Literally taking away weapons from people who earned them years before DHâs were even in the game, to keep from âdiminishing the valueâ of the DHâs who earned an achievement (which you donât even have to do on a DH at all BTW, it can be earned on any toon assuming you have both weapons and do BT timewalking). Itâs so completely random. Had Blizzard really wanted to be logical about this, they would have simply changed the weapons from being SWORDS (usable by more than just DHâs) to be WARGLAIVES, and then it would have at least made sense, and my warrior and rogue who are currently WEARING the warglaives could no longer do so. Yeah that would have pissed off people, but itâs basically the same thing they did with this ridiculous restriction.

In your opinion. Not in the developersâ.
I think we all understand whose opinion matters.
The customer who pays for the game and thus ultimately for the developers? Iâm failing to see where youâre going with this.

The beancounters are indulging the devs, because everyone making the decisions are confident this wonât cost them a meaningful amount of subscription or engagement time.
Itâs a tempest in a teapot. If everyone whoâs even the faintest bit exercised about this ragequits right now, it wouldnât even register.
In a vacuum that works to a point, eventually though enough people quit for all these small reasons and then theyâre suddenly wondering how many new mounts they have to put in the SHOP to make up for these losses. Sure, it may not be this one reason that leads to it, but rather the direction they are going.

Your world theory obviously works for you.
How do you intend to convice Blizzard to agree? Because obviously, they donât.
This is insane⌠Did the current development team not play in BC? In BC the glaives were a tremendous symbol for rogues (as most warriors only wanted the MH).
Are they going to seriously take an iconic class weapon appearance away from the original class⌠Just go ahead and give the legendary daggers to druids next.
You have to have your head screwed on backwards to make a decision like this.

I have a theory about this too. (I have a theory about everything.)
The devs who implemented the glaives in BC are not the devs who implemented the hack in 7.2.5, so the latter bunch didnât care at all âhow it used to beâ. But, they care now, because they went to a lot of work to implement the system in place now, and theyâre not about to let it get overthrown by a tiny bunch of player who think they want glaives on non-DHs, but they really donât.
Donât understimate the power of developers who feel possessive of their work.
When my first glaive dropped on this guy I was over the moon. We even made the drama alert post of the day (Engadget - Guildwatch: Goodbye endgame, hello new game) I got 4p T6 and the MH glaive in the same night and I was just eating it up. I spent all of Wrath forming pugs to go back in and try to finish the set. Finally did right before Cata.
The glaives have been in every kill shot picture since, bit of a fanâŚ

Isnât that literally the exact same thing that was said about WoW Classic, and oh look, we have Classic now. Seriously, unless you work for Blizzard, youâre just tossing out hearsay without having any clue what youâre talking about. I donât know why / who / what caused Blizzard to make this decision, but I am extremely upset.
As someone who has these weapons in their bank for YEARS awaiting the day I could xmog them, just to have them unavailable because we might offend a poor âDemon Hunter.â Well I got news for you, I am keeping mine equipped on my Warrior and Rogue parked in Org offending as many Demon Hunters as I can. Unfortunately Iâve yet to meet a single Demon Hunter who gives a crap (most have actually agreed that we should be able to transmog them, and think Blizzardâs decision is RIDICULOUS).

As soon as development priorities become a democracy, Iâm sure itâll happen.
The main problem here is that Iâm not seeing the groundswell of support for this. For every voice for, there seems to be one opposed. And then thereâs the silent majority that doesnât know or care. Those are the ones that the devs are thinking about.
I donât have a dog in this fight, except that Iâm on the side of realism.

Itâs not âliterallyâ taking away a weapon. Itâs not figuratively taking away a weapon either. You are losing absolutely nothing this patch.
Yes, it would have pissed people off, whcih is exactly why they didnât change the weapon-type of the glaves themselves. You have people who had been wearing those around since BC and changing the weapon-type would have been âliterally taking away weapons from people.â
Those people can still wear them, use them in timewalking dungeons/raids and so on. They are losing absolutely nothing. All thatâs changed isâŚwell, nothing. DHâs can mog em, everyone else can equip them. Nothing has changed, nothing has been lost. Itâs just like when they removed ranged weapon slots from Warriors and Rogues, but still let them equip guns/bows for coolness.
Logic need not apply I see.
