Why cant warriors, rogues, and death knights use warglaives again. I get its a Demon hunter thing, but like come on, really? You can equip the warglaives of azzinoth from the black temple, and they are classified as swords, you can in fact equip those, but even then, they are not too useful, mainly because they are 33 ilevel and not really valid in terms of current content.

Demon Hunter here. It is indeed our thing.
Let us have something while half of our class is awful and the other half is going to be nerfed hard.

Why should it be an elf thing when the only character who has ever used them in lore is a Demon Hunter?

I would say that at least let elfs transmog glaives on all classes. They are ab staple in wow lore.
Elfs uses glaives
Wardens, sentinels and, er⌠Tyrande⌠also use glaives.

Weird lore mistake that I made too.
Wardens donât use Warglaives, they use âUmbra Crescentsâ Basically their evil hula-hoops, which are definately NOT crescents, whereas a warglaive frequently IS a crescent⌠Their also Runeblades, which I guess is a different runeblade than Maw runeblades because⌠umm⌠different runes? I guess?
TLDR wardens donât use warglaives, but Klingons do.

if the warglaives are a demon hunter thing then shadowmourne is a dk thing
or thunderfury is a rogue/warrior thing
but tell me, why can paladins and warriors use shadowmourne and why can mages and warlocks use thunderfury?
also why can a rogue (with a bow equipped) transmog thoriâdal?

Use Magic Device checks.
FWIW in the wow universe the funny/fancy fantasy elf weaponry tend to be considered a glaive or glaive variant. If i were to guess its because âreasonsâ involving anything from it sounded cool to âship itâ.
Silvermoon guardians use a style of warglaive in game. In lore spellbreakers also use them.
The NE sentinels use a three pronged variant designed with the ability to be thrown that are called moonglaives.
Shadow hunters technically use warglaives too though but I would still sooner call them âelvenâ weaponry than a troll one even though technically elves are just selectively bred trolls shrug They have a nice picture of Voljin holding one from the patch 5.3 wallpaper (back when the art team did cool stuff like this)

Whatâs even weirder is that a glaive IRL is a 2 meter shaft with a curved axe-like spearhead.
They even also use this extra definition in game as seen in

Rogue weapon if Iâve ever seen one.
What a waste.
Oh thatâs true! There is a quest where you have to find volâjins glaive I think?
I know. If I were to take an educated guess as to why its such a show âglaiveâ is probably some type of proto darn/thal-assian term for âweaponâ or something equally silly.
WTB word consistency plzty
TBH i donât remember anything outside of the WC3 shadowhunters and voljin having one in the MoP patch art
Found a reference to it: https:// wow. gamepedia .com/Glaive_of_Vol%27jin
I completely forgot this, but yes glaives are shadow Hunter weapons too.
now if blizzard opened up the azzinoth xmog we would be set. lol

I believe Warriors at least should be able to wield them. I never really understood why rogues could use them considering their fighting style, fantasy-wise of course(I guess they wanted to make them âpseudo Demon Huntersâ since they never launched the class back in vanilla) but Warriors should 100% be able to use it, the Sentinels are, after all, masters of the glaive.
Like unto this?
