I’ve been killing people with it while using the challenge mode Maw of the Damned skin.
Wicked fun.

I’m trying to get into feral but it annoys me to an unreasonable degree I’ve to claw people up as a cat when I’ve a considerably more fearsome werewolf form on standby.

This is how I feel about Worgen as literally any and every class.
Why would you ever use a weapon when you have claws and teeth?
Worgen aren’t furries, they’re werewolves.
Use your werewolf powers to kill things!

Swords that can kill stone giants are stronger than teeth
Swords are as bad as claws for attacking stone.
Oh? A sword made of magic fantasy metal when steel is perfectly good to cut through bone, is somehow equal to bone and that stuff fingernails are made of?
i mean equal to magical fantasy bone and claw, yeah. it’s not like the magical thinking has some ‘reasonable’ limit
While that’s fair, the reason a Worgen would wield a sword or a gun is the same reason a human would wield a sword or a gun. It’s more effective than fingernails. In reality, tools help is level the playing field against wolves. In WoW tools help wolves level the playing field against dragons and the light becomes a tool that humans use to level the playing field against werewolves that haven’t learned to play catch.
uh… yeah. bit of a jog of a sentence tbh. i think the basic point is pretty much ‘it better serves the werewolf fantasy of worgen to default to using claws and teeth’ and i think that’s fair. i feel like trying to argue the logistics of this sort of thing comes across as hugely silly when my warrior tanks in the love witch outfit and he doesn’t seem the worse for wear about it

Fury with mogged claw weapons was the best feeling spec with that race. Every fight was just;

honestly i like earthen fury warriors for a near-similar reason: there’s just something really satisfying i think in having cinderblocks for fists and using them to absolutely pummel someone
edit: sort of a same-same-but-diff for earthen monks, i suppose

Is as durable of claws of magic fantasy.
Jesus wept, you apply your fantasy logic to things you want to apply them to but not to things you don’t.
I think that’s how theology works.

I need some help. I can’t find my copy of Before the Storm. But I know there’s a part where Anduin shows the piece of Azerite to all the other Alliance leaders and Velen mentions that he thought it was a shard of a naaru at first.
If someone could type up that part here and tell me what page it’s on so I can cite it properly I’d SUPER appreciate it. I’ll even send you 20,000g if you want. (I think you can transfer money across servers with the Warband Bank now right?)
“For a moment, I thought it a piece of a naaru”, Velen breathed. “It is not, but the sensation is… similar”. Page 56 of before the Storm.
Context of the scene is Anduin hands Velen a handkerchief that contains the piece of Azerite. Velen opens it up and says the above quote.

I think the setting did this.
The “magic” of werewolves gives them claws. Strong claws certainly but just claws. Not magically enhanced claws. Not claws for tearing down metal constructs.
But certainly for skinning as evidenced by the fact that Worgen didn’t need to carry a skinning knife at release of Cataclysm.
So yeah. This case isn’t me. It’s the setting. But I’m sure I’m as prone to bias as anyone.
The curse comes from a magical god that curses other beings when struck by them.*
*Until Night Elves showed up and fixed the issue.
So, no.

Genn doesn’t use weapons because his magical claws will kill Sylvanas.
She knows his magical claws will kill her.
That is why she dodges his magical claws that she knows will kill her.
She knows that his magical claws are not normal claws that she can just tank.
The Worgen curse is a very good point. Idk if that makes it stronger or more damaging but I will grant that they are cursed.
Does that help if your target isn’t an undead banshee or you don’t want to turn your enemy into a Worgen?
That is kinda hilarious, when thinking about Velen telling Tyrande that Elune might be a Naaru in … I think it was Wolfheart ?
Almost like when ever Velen sees something vaguely mysterious , he goes:
“That’s like a Naaru!”
