You know as well as I do they’ve said things one time then later done a 180.
Edit, or flat out been dishonest.
Very true! And this particular topic could be one of them!
You never know.
Everything in your post is your opinion aside from the sword classification which seems to be the entire crux of your argument. I don’t know how many more times it has to be explained to you, but it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day.
The reality, though it may be hard for you to understand, is that the WoA are going to remain a DH only mog, probably forever, but at least for the foreseeable future. When they gave us moggable legendaries in 8.3, they had an opportunity and chose to keep it DH only. Everything I, and others, have said explain why, and I even gave you reasons, logical reasons mind you, why the classification on the weapon hasn’t changed. Just because you are unwilling to accept these facts as they are doesn’t make you correct.
It’s like a house is being burnt to the ground in a controlled demolition and you’re choosing to stay in the house because you believe you should be able to live in it. The house is gone, friend. Time to find another place to stay.

“Swords or Glaives? That terminology is mute when they most definitely are massive warglaives.”
Moot; the terminology is MOOT, not mute.
Moot; adjective- having little or no practical relevance, typically because the subject is too uncertain to allow a decision.

Except I also point out the fact that the cosmetic appearance looks different on DH’s. All 3 of my points I made in my OP are fact, not opinion. I’m sorry.
The reality is, Blizzard can go back on things they’ve done in the past. I don’t think anyone said anything about the classification on the weapon changing other than yourself and a few others.
Ok, you’re just reaching man. What kind of comparison is this?

I never said your OP didn’t have facts, but those facts don’t change the fact that your feelings are a matter of opinion. You feel that the WoA should be moggable by Rogues. Blizzard disagrees and that is a fact.
Sure, anything is possible, but I didn’t think we were operating in hypotheticals. You adamantly believe, and ultimately want, WoA to be moggable by your class, and the biggest point you’ve fallen back on is “but they are classified as swords!!” The reality is the classification exists because the game was different in BC as DH didn’t exist thus the warglaive classification didn’t exist, and changing the classification now, while logical, would severely restrict the ability to farm them for those who don’t already have them. Both of these are facts. Neither support your argument.
Reaching for what? The only way to make that analogy more apt would be to add a small caveat: the house may be your childhood home; however, you haven’t lived there in years, but instead of accepting the fact that the house is being destroyed because the new owner would prefer the land (this merely explains the demolition and it doesn’t necessarily tie into Blizzard’s motivations), you would rather stay in the house because you believe you are entitled to it as it used to be yours. Well, the house is already gone, friend, just as the WoA are already DH only. I don’t think I can make it any simpler to understand.

Cool, and I disagree. Hence: this thread.
And that they were in fact used by rogues and warriors back in the day.
If I made the conscious decision to move out of said house then I officially gave up my rights to it.
The same doesn’t apply here. People who have them still have them and can use them for timewalking and such. They just aren’t able to transmog it because of well arbitrariness .
I’ve been arguing since Legion that the warglaive class of weapons shouldn’t be restricted to DHs. I think at least rogues, dks, and monks should be able to use them.

I never said that was a problem, actually. I’m simply pointing out the reality, and maybe attempting to save you from wasting your time.
You can choose to ignore the next part of that paragraph where I provided two factual pieces of information explaining why your response is completely irrelevant, but that’s on you.
Ah, you’re not necessarily wrong, but I took that into account which is why I specified the home as your “childhood” home which means you may not have left there under your own volition- your parents forced you to follow them when they chose to sell the house. As far as your point about people still using them if they have them… ultimately, that feeds back into your classification argument; the very same argument I have dismantled. I’m sorry.
Tell that to arthas who picked up frostmourne as a paladin.
I’m not going to stop lobbying for this. There is a legitimate case to be made here and even DH players agree with me.
Yes I’m aware of this and I’m not sure how it supports your argument. Given that they were classified as swords and were very much intended for sword users, it stands to reasons that classes that have used them should be able to mog them.
Warglaives introducted into the game now are DH specific and I’m not trying to change that.
And also Blizzard doesn’t want to take away the ability for a class to use a weapon that was theirs back in the day. Heres a vod of them saying so:
Doesn’t matter what its classified as, if someone calls a dog a wolf its not really a wolf now is it, it might of came the wolf species but that doesn’t give it the proper acknowledgement its a dog. Same with these legenday glaives. You may call them swords, Blizzard may call them swords but in reality they are glaives.
I can use another example, you can hold a air soft gun and paint the orange tip black to make it look like a legit gun and no one will be the wiser, doesn’t matter what its called if its looks make the impact its going for.
I tend to agree, only because it was that way for years but I also tend to think you are making a bigger deal out of it then needed.
You may call this weapon a sword too since it is classified as such but in reality it is a knife.
looks like a knife to me. I don’t see why you wanna diss all over the demon hunter / illidan legacy by allowing non demon hunters wielding a beloved characters weapon. You wouldn’t aruge for other classes to wield doom hammer or ashbringer on classes that can wield 1h maces / 2h swords.
Yup and in this game knives are classified into their own weapon category
That’s right! It’s called daggers!
Except this one isn’t classified as such. It’s classified as a sword and I could go outlaw, transmog this and make it look like I’m slashing people with small knives.
As I recall, no other class has ever been able to use the Doomhammer or the non-corrupted Ashbringer.
But rogues, warriors, dk’s and monks can use the warglaives of azzinoth though. That is why I believe they should be able to mog them.

That’s your prerogative, and I don’t think I necessarily disagree with your stance as I haven’t stated one way or another. I’m just bored, and it always perplexes me how people create a thread on a topic, base their argument around one point, and continue to state that point even after it being dismantled.
Never said it explicitly did. I was only pointing out that they destroy your singular point.
Which is kinda irrelevant. As stated above, and based on your hope in creating this thread, Blizzard can, and has quite often, gone back on things like this. What they have now is a happy medium in their eyes. The WoA is a DH only transmog that can still be farmed by 4 other classes.
I believe the only reason they can wield them is because turning a old legendary from 1h swords to glaives would upset so many people who worked so hard to grind them out, so out of pity they allow classes to just equip the item instead of just making them DH specific. Idk why monks can have them though.
Warglaives were clearly meant for Warriors. It’s even in the name. War.

Well I’ve made multiple points actually. And I even brought up common arguments people have made in threads like this in my OP.
It’s not pity, it’s because some of said classes actually used them back in the day when they were current content.
Likely because they are a class that can dual wield 1 handed swords.
