I agree. And while we’re at a dh subject: nerf dhs.

Nobody cares, they already allow everyone to mog legendary anyway I don’t see the need to be anti fun about it.

Merriam Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/iconic):
widely recognized and well-established
widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence
They were easily the most recognizable weapons of The Burning Crusade. They were excellent weapons that literally every warrior and rogue wanted. They were used by warriors and rogues.
Warglaives are iconic rogue/warrior weapons by any reasonable definition.

Warglaives are Hunter weapons.
Hunter is the master class of World of Warcraft, they should be able to use a wand too!

It’s straight from the quest text of forging it.
"Shadowmourne; a newly forged weapon already steeped in this world’s history, reborn into an unrivaled destiny.
With this weapon you bear a solemn responsibility, and the time to carry out that charge is at hand.
Take this weapon of myth and legend and march on the enemy. Avenge the countless heroes lost in his merciless campaign. Bring rest to their tortured souls.
Steel yourself, , and guide Shadowmourne to fulfill the purpose of its creation."
Eh. Those petty restrictions were never an issue for me

We still have swirly ball (detection)
"I’m for more transmog options. As long as the warglaives transmog remains exclusively available through the current method, I don’t care if it is restricted to only demon hunters or not.
The reward is only diminished if you remove the timewalking raid requirement and the ownership requirement.
If someone does those things, let them go ham. Transmog it on warriors, rogues, I don’t care.
That said, I think the OP’s argument leans closer to demanding entitlement than a heartfelt request. If I were a lesser person I would hope they didn’t ever go this route just for them."
But, whatever you say man. Read up a little further.
I’m honestly convinced that anyone who’s so vehemently against rogues being able to transmog WoA just want something to argue about. This is General Discussion though, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

The comparison is actually quite apt because it wouldn’t be that far-fetched to assume that had DH’s been a class back in BC, the WoA may have been for them and them alone in the same way the FotF are for Rogues and Rogues alone.
Ultimately, the following quote pretty much sums up the issue:
But they weren’t a playable class back in TBC so the comparison means nothing.
DH’s would still happily be able to transmog them as should the original wielders of them.
It only means nothing because you deem it so. Blizzard clearly disagrees.
It means nothing because it is so. Sure, if DH’s did become a playable class back in TBC and those warglaives were just restricted to them from the get go, we wouldn’t be having this debate.
But those glaives were clearly intended for rogues and warriors from their inception so therefore not allowing them to transmog it is nonsensical.

No, if that was the case, Blizzard would likely agree and remove the restriction… unless you believe they have an irrational vendetta against Rogues, specifically. Your own personal feelings on the matter do not negate reality.
The fact you’re willing to accept this as fact destroys your argument and arguably makes you look rather foolish. It would be one thing if you were 100% gun-ho, but you just agreed with my point.
As shown in a previous quote, the only reason those items are classified as swords in game is because warglaives weren’t a thing in BC. That being said, they haven’t changed the classification because it would probably cause even more, I would argue unnecessary, backlash because you would narrow down the amount of classes that can farm the set from 5 to 1. Given you still have to farm the set, as well as clearing TW BT after obtaining the set, changing the classification would be, to use your term, “nonsensical.” This doesn’t at all prove that they should be moggable by anything other than DHs, however.
They literally are though. It’s in the name.
The only reason they started as swords is they didn’t even have a warglaive classification until Legion.
What they NEED to do is change the classification.

The reality is: those weapons are classified as swords and have been used by various sword users.
It doesn’t destroy my argument at all because as we have seen that wasn’t the case!
DH’s weren’t made a playable class until 9 years after this weapon was introduced into the game.
Except it does. It was used by warriors and rogues back in the day, they farmed it and worked hard for it therefore they should have the right to mog it.
Kind of like how a pocket knife I linked in my OP is classified as a sword?
Crazy right?
No

Sorry, but YES.
Retcons happen all the time. This is a prime example of when it SHOULD happen.
Yeah sorry but they aren’t going to take away the ability to use them for classes that actually had them back in the day.

I know because they have said it in exact words.
