Time to smack Blanchy a few more times with this post, but I think it’s high time we had those third “weapon” slots added back.
Quivers, Librams, Tomes, et cetera.
They keep adding new systems, but why not let this third slot offer that? Make these items add a cool element to your class, even design new items for other classes. And a bonus? Make them a transmog option.
I would prefer this over “Soulbinds” and “Azerite Powers”.

It definitely would add more customization, would love if they at least added more quiver-like items, either as Cloak/back gear or like you stated, this.
Tomes would also be great too for sure.

Yes!
Librams or Tomes could be transmogs that appear on the waist, or floating in the air. Quivers on the backs, of course.
Rogues could have throwing knives/axes that transmog on the waist, also. This is just standard RPG stuff, to be honest. Should be mandatory.

I mean, that’s pretty cool, but if every hunter looked like that what incentive would you have to play a non-troll race?

i didnt know i needed this until now… curse you, and bless you
Librams were not inherently different from Soulbinds, Glyphs, or Azerite Powers. You equipped a thing and it modified your spells. Pretending it’s difference because it gets its own slot rather than glued to your shoulders is a semantic difference.
Like with trinkets, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a passive stat stick, and then there is no going back.
Exactly! But this way, the slot stays, it doesn’t rotate every two years into the abyss, and it can be transmogged.
This slot removes the need for borrowing customization, and makes it permanent.

Except it doesn’t do that, because they’d have to add new ones every patch and it would inherently be another avenue of power creep.
Your suggestion isn’t different than “Make essences be permanent” other than it includes a transmog slot. I guarantee most people would fight you for saying the essence thing, and the transmog is also problematic because I challenge you to come up a class-specific doohickey for more than just Paladins and Hunters.

1 more slot to gear with the game in it’s current state doesn’t seem that great

You and Darien raise fair points. Would you both accept a transmog-only variance of my idea, then?
Also:
Challenge accepted! Let me think, and I implore others to help me!
For the record, Librams haven’t even made lore sense for Paladins since ever and haven’t made mechanical sense since BC. So you need to come up with something other than carrying around a book.
And now that Survival hunters exist, quivers don’t make sense for all Hunters, so you can’t do that.

No complaints if it were transmog only

Sheesh, this is quite the challenge you’re throwing at me! But thanks for raising some good points.
Don’t forget that the druid one needs to make sense with, be visible on, and be holdable by a humanoid, a bear, a tiger, a tree, a seal, a dolphin, an elk, a bird, and an owlbeast. At least two of those forms have bite attacks, so the mouth isn’t a holding option.

How would that work for you. . .

For rogues can add a pistol/throwing, so that way animations will go off that. For other classes can change different things. For priests can change looks of some spells to denote a faith.
Compare to the multiple legendary chasing we’ve seen in legion and Shadowlands? Compare to conduit grind?
Please.
