Weapon transmog revamp

So I made a thread earlier about opening up all armor transmog given how recently mop remix made the dark shaman set cosmetic.

“But what about weapons, oh mighty and wise Tahonto”

Well, I’m glad you asked.

Weapons are their own monster after artifacts changed up the rules a bit.

So first off. Let’s allow all classes to equip, NOT USE, all weapons. Again, EQUIP, not use, I don’t want anyone calling me a whacko for wanting mages to cast spells with a gun.

Why? Well that way all weapons possibilities that make sense are now open.

So I’m talking shaman using swords, rogues using warglaives, priests using one handed swords, mages one handed maces.

Thats right, that means casters would be able to equip all two handed weapons. Why not, they’re just stat sticks. Evokers, shaman, and druids all can use two handers beyond just staffs. So why can’t a mage?

So that’s out of the way…

Now’s where it gets interesting.

We need specific rules per class and/or spec following artifact rules and other special circumstances.

So for classes that use stat sticks and don’t have their fantasy revolve around weapon combat, they should be granted the ability to mog a two hander into a one hander - shield/off hand combo and vice versa.

So that’s all casters, feral, and monks.

*** Remove shield of the righteous for holy paladins and replace it with templar’s. Verdict or a casted offensive spender**.

It’s silly to use SotR when mogging the silver hand on a hpally

I’m addition classes that use wands can mog wands into all one hander weapons and vice versa.

Rogues and casters (except hpaladins) are now able to mog daggers into all one handers and vice versa.

Hpal, elesham, rshan, can mog shields into held in off hands

Enh sham, Survival hunters and frost DKs can mog their two hander into dual wield weapons and vice versa.

Fury warriors can mog their two handers into one handed weapons.

Again, only wand classes can mog into wands with one handers and only rogues and casters can mog daggers into one handers.

Ret, unholy, blood, prot pal, prot war, DH, arms, mm, bm all remain as they are with weapon mogs

I know, I know, I’m a god damn genius

I miss the race based combat animations.

Legion added a lot of new animations but unfortunately they will quickly look ridiculous if you dare to use a different weapon type that the specs artifact weapon.

Like enhancement shamans using fist weapons, rather than punch they flail their arms wildly to the sides.

Here’s a bonus…

Worgen are able to hide their weapons if they’re a melee spec.
