They also have special character options for a lot of chestpieces that no other race or class can access. They have abilities that if put on any other class would be absurdly busted in just a balance sense like the whole “Fly 50 yards into the sky and shoot out attacks that also deal a metric damage while you’re too far out of range of a lot of classes to be hit.” A 10 second cooldown that gives them 100% dodge and can’t be interrupted. Meanwhile Killing Spree, the ability this drew its inspiration from? Yeah get stunned and you waste the ridiculously long cooldown burst ability. Flashy as hell mechanics. Their tank spec straight up was allowed to ruin RBGs for a whole expansion with it’s mobility and football charge ability on flag maps without any hindrance because of the same crap we dealt with Death Knights over. “Oh it’s the new class, we want it to feel special.” So it just is allowed to be absurdly busted a whole expansion because they’re the new kids.
Access to every leather piece which covers a majority of the tiers through offsets once you get into Wrath territory. . .
Sorry but the whole “They should get warglaives exclusively because they had limited transmog options because they weren’t around for most of the raid tiers” falls flat. Especially since monks seem to be doing just fine.

Because Blizzard never retcons?
I know they won’t do it but they should.
I enjoy how you left out that that I am in favor of opening up the transmog options.
No, because the post I quoted you said you “understand the mindset of the exclusivity” then said “You wouldn’t be heartbroken if they opened it up.”
That’s lukewarm, not favor. I’m simply showing why the idea for them to do this is monumentally braindead.
For the record, yes I am posting on a class that has an exclusive legendary that is only usable by two specs, one of which for PvE is dead in the water. With their iconic wings not even being associated with the daggers, it’s the buff that doesn’t exist on transmog. If I want a bright orange dagger, I’ll just use Perdition’s Blade. It looks better and is more iconic than the legendary daggers designed for the class in late Cataclysm.

Except what you’re suggesting they do has nothing to do with retconning.
How is my suggestion that they go back and correct an error from the past – DHs did exist in vanilla, just not playable – with a modern interpretation, not a retcon?
Personally, I’ve always thought Rogues should be able to transmog the glaives since they we’re basically meant for rogues in the past.
I mean yeah times change, and we have Demon Hunters now but I don’t think that is enough to justify the reasoning as to why Demon Hunters get the glaives as an appearance and Rogues don’t.
ESPECIALLY with the arguement OP stated. The fact that The Warglaive of Azzinoth is considered a SWORD. That of which a Rogue could indeed use and can equip right now if they wanted to.

Retconning is changing a story element that was previously established in lore and making it something different.
Has nothing to do with this discussion.
Yo, we should make Ashbringer a staff. I know it’s a sword that ret paladins gleefully wielded all through Legion but eh. . . it should be a staff, ya know? Who cares if it was designed for them and they used it for years and can no longer equip it.

I wanted to see if there was any meaningful conversation going on because I fully agree that those of us who are not DH have been able to use these weapons since they came out in BC. But it’s literally just one guy, Paladina who just repeats the wrong thing over and over, and can’t wrap their pea sized brain around the fact that they are swords that DH couldn’t even touch until Legion. Then they suddenly became DH only.
I fully believe you should have just ignored Paladina OP. Nothing they’ve said contributes to any part of this.
Let the other classes who have been able to use them far longer, use them too. It doesn’t break anything since I can equip them anyway.
You want to say it’s DH only? Take away our class tags from the list of classes that can use it.

She eventually stormed out when some of us tried asking her a question relevant to the discussion.
Bad idea, people use them for Timewalking and also try to farm them on their multiple toons.

Not shocked. I just couldn’t read any more of their bs.
They wont do it. They know for a fact it would piss us off. But if they’re denying us the ability to mog them, the same way everyone else can for the other legendaries, it’s like the same thing.

For those that want to keep the warglaves to dh, should they have restricted the rag hammer and thunderfurry to shaman? I mean they are iconic weapons of elemental lords and as shaman they wield the elements.

And it was iconic for rogues and warriors because they actually used it. Sure it’s iconic as a demon hunter weapon in lore, but in game it has far more meaning to rogues and warriors.

And this is what I mean.
Iconic. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Everyone will fight about this anyways. Demon hunter was basically the first to make the warglaives bc of illidan was the demon hunter when the legion came out that has been imprisoned for 10 thousand of years and was training with it ever since. It should go back to normal ways that the required class can wield it and just please remove the achievement to get the transmog.

Let the fangs of father be available for all classes then
Then you can have warglaives
What kind of comparison is this? The Fangs of the Father questline can only be obtained and completed by rogues.
Meanwhile, warriors, rogues, dk’s, and monks can farm, obtain, and equip the warglaives of azzinoth.
