Thin weapons

I miss them. :frowning:

I miss having two handed axes that looked like they’d be comfortable to hold and not just like large one-handed ones.

I miss swords that don’t look like clubs, or that don’t look so oddly shaped that they’d snap upon hitting something. Blades that don’t just appear to be mildly sharpened blocks of raw iron.

I miss bows that were lithe and slightly engraved, wrapped in leather and ribbon. Ones that didn’t have a hand guard the size of your forearm.

I want staffs that aren’t just maces with a flourish. Give me a long, ornate pole with a head that means something. Give me skulls, give me tongues, give me religious symbols! Where’s the sha’tarii symbol atop a pole made of shaped talbuk horn?

And daggers. They’re not one handed swords - they’re knives. Short, small, surgical. A gnome’s dagger shouldn’t be the length and width of their forearm - that’s a mace. You want a blade for nipping tendons and piercing organs, not for denting plate.

I want axes with weight to them - like the Kul’tiran gun axes. The short, stocky handle, the blade that curves down to give you more control - I want those. And for the two handed, don’t give me those giant, oversized honkin fan blades. Give me a compact splitting head. Engraved, adorned - sure. But not every blade has to the Xal’atoh. Gorehowl, the original one, would be perfect if it was just a little thinner and less round.

I love WoW’s art style, and I love all the weapons that’ve come out!!! I just miss the old thin slicy dicy stuff that felt like it had weight to it.

There are tonnes of options out there, my staff mog isn’t much more than a stick, not a huge fan of all of the crazy stuff.

I kinda miss having weapons that actually look the weapons they are labeled as lol.

Some swords can be confused with clubs sometimes lol.

I always try to t-mog older weapons because of it.

I also feel with higher res they could make normal cool looking weapons that does not look like it was made for a giant to weild.

Exile’s Reach, the new leveling experience for new players, offers some pretty nice quality, low-key weapons.

Yeah, they are awesome. Just a huge bummer they never made the amazing new shields available in game! (unless they have now and I’ve just missed them)

Y’know like that neat old god staff and…also yeah. For reasons. :eyes: Warlock girls gotta make do after all.

And they do!!! I want more stuff like that!!!

isn’t exile’s reach equipment not t-moggable? They where just white quality stuff right? I can be wrong though.

May I point you to:

This is my favorite sword so far to come out of SL :smiley:

I see with seven I’s and an And. Heh

Just looked at your formatting of the post, it’s all I saw. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

At the very beginning but by the end of the whole thing, they offer green quality items. The armor sets are the battlefront/PvP stuff from BfA, except they don’t have the shoes to complete the set.

There’s a bunch of rapiers from the Venthyr

Happy to say, you are wrong! I use the 1 handed horde axes on one of my orc shammy’s transmogs.

These 2 I like too, but I forgot which one I transmogged on my DK originally for the void’s edge translucent effect;

Sedai’s Blade was always a favorite of mine for this reason.

This is true!!!

But even then the rapiers are exaggerated - the hand guard is huge, the blade itself is long and a little too thick for my tastes. I feel it is a step in the right direction - I really loved the castle Nathria sets tbh.:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I do agree that the blade is thicker then what it should be for a rapier, looking at it’s point up to the hilt, it even has a square shape from the point, which goes against what rapiers, and swords, designs.

too much point, not enough edge :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t remember seeing those shields at all in Exile’s Reach… I want that Lordaeron one!!! D:

I really wish so much of the thinner weapons weren’t stuck with old textures. BC had a ton of good ones but some of them are pixelated messes now

(the devs will still pry shivering felspine from my cold dead hands)

I want more wacky weapons like the honey rod or fish mace. Rolling pin and frying pan… all good

Broken bottles were good.

Now lets go for toy sword (permanent mog not toy item), fork and knife set. Get creative ( I know that’s a stretch for this team right now)
