Warglaive of Azzinoth

Community General Discussion
1

Hello, i have never posted anything here but its about time.

So i have been farming Black temple for months only becouse of the warglaves,
my main is warrior and each day i have been playing the glaves are more or less in my mind. I finally decided to google them to know the drop rate only to find out that you can only transmog them on a Demon hunter?
By using my common sense when you look at the glaves ( https://www.wowhead.com/item=32837/warglaive-of-azzinoth )
and there literally reads that it is a sword and classes that can equip them are: Warrior, Rogue, Death Knight, Monk, Demon hunter that there would be no issue to transmog them if i can EQUIP them with the classes mentioned above.
What a great way to care about your community by not revealing this kind of stuff and let players just pay subscription and waste their time only to find out months later how things actually are.

And the problem is? All you need to do is to keep grinding with your Warrior for the warglaives, and once you have both main hand and off hand variants, you equip them for the achievement. Then wait until TBC timewalking and buy a Black Temple Boost. Then attend the defeat of Timewalking Illidan Stormrage, and loot him for the item that grants you the appearance of the warglaives.

Come on, the Warglaives of Azzinoth are Warglaives, so it it only fair that it’s appearance only becomes transmogable for Demon Hunters since only they are allowed to wear Warglavies.

(I know we got this priest named Tyrande also wearing warglaives, but the lore have been funky for the last years.)

just get some gold, wait until its on the black ah and buy it there. thats what most people with the warglaves do.

That’s because back in Legion old legendaries did not have transmogrifyable appearances, and coupled with the introduction of timewalking Black Temple, they added an achievement that would give DHs the appearance (seeing as the weapons are warglaives despite their original classification as swords).

It was a disappointing decision by Blizz to lock the ability to use the legendary appearance on DH only. I agree with you that they should be able to be used by all the classes that can actually equip them. However they were very upfront with their decision when legendary appearances became available for transmog.

To unlock the look for my DH I farmed them on my rogue, and then completed the TW BT raid on my paladin. On of my DH now runs around with them because of all the effort I went through to farm them :rofl:

Consider this - the Warglaives of Azzinoth being classified as Swords was never an issue before Demon Hunters got introduced (as a playable Class) with Legion; now we have them, it becomes a problem.

Yeh it’s a bit silly.

Everyone knows that back in TBC it was a Rogue weapon.

They should be transmog able only by Rogues imo.

I’m not sure why they were ever allowed to be used by warriors. They very rarely got them though.

Yep, they should allow rogues and fury warriors to also transmog them. Just a stupid decision to give them only to demon hunters when they weren’t even in the game during TBC.

Think of the hours (perhaps weeks) saved by no longer having ot run Black Temple every week.
How much worse would it have been if you’d spent the next several years farming them and only found out when you went to the Transmog man only to be refused. Having the joy of looting them being pee’d on from a great height.

This is a really good point!

But also, they should just unlock the Transmog, at least for Rogues. I would love my rogue to look like it did in TBC.

11

Indeed it is stupid. They could tmog them for frost death knights, monks, fury warriors and rogues too. An information says what class can wield this weapon

12

Could be done via a quest line (similar to the Dark Ranger one, maybe a bit longer) to do some Demon Huntery type things on your rogue, going to Vault of Wardens, Tomb of Sergaras or Burning Throne etc. You help Maiev doing some stuff, details TBC.

13

Or just through the Achievement that’s required for them at the moment.

14

Stop telling lies, everyone knows that they were a Hunter weapon back in TBC because every weapon is a Hunter weapon!

On a more serious note I only ever saw them on Rogues back in the day, usually as I was permastunned and dying in a BG.

not just weapons… they were always trying to take my trinkets as well.

Yeh, it was rogue weapon first, and went to Warriors afterwards, but only every one hand (the offhand I think).

16

Couple great comments that i agree with but i can say with confidence that atleast 50% of players have skipped some expansions and now when classic has been around a along time and the glaves are CLEARLY for rogues and warriors in tbc, and if it is true ( i have no knowledge of nor any research behind this ) that blizzard back at legion release stated that these glaves are specifically transmogable only on demon hunters they should have made it very clear ingame for all gamers not just to them who have played at legion.
This just makes me wonder more that if blizzard cares anything about its community more than the money they provide to the company.
