Your the one saying blizzard said it so its up to you to prove it otherwise its just your view .

285

Go ahead, quote the whole post. Where did I write blizz said it ?

286

So you implied that its blizzard view yet you have nothing to back it up .

You need a blue post for the WARGLAIVES of Azzinoth to be confirmed to be warglaives in the lore ? Do you have a blue post confirming the Ashbringer is a sword ?

Lore friendly or not, it’s still a terrible move.

If you’re rolling out a patch that says “you can now mog equippable legendaries”, people expect that.

What they don’t expect is “except this one and this one because reasons”, because that’s not what they said they’d do.

I mean, the allure of the WGoA is that non DHs can wield a weapon that looks like warglaives. With this moggable you opened up the possibility for people to RP as Velf or Nightborne DHs with mogs for example. Taking that mog off the table so that unique appearance is taken back because “class identity” is stupid.

Non-paladins can mog tons of paladin lookalike tier sets, non dks can ride frostwyrms. Why however, do DHs get special property rights here? It’s the inconsistency that peeves people off.
I mean, if you asked me, if something had to be made class specific for the mogs, it’d be the cursed vision of sargeras. Blindfolds (in combat) ARE a Dh thing. Warglaives are an elven thing. It makes no sense that for some reason nelf rogues can’t wield the warglaives yet have no problems negotiating combat with a blindfold on when the second one is nothing something they would have trained to do, whilst the first probably is.

You said that Glaives are DH only said by blizzard go reread all your old posts then find me the post were they said “guys look we know you had them since 2007 but now they are only for DH but us being nice you can still loot them”

290

Yeah warglaives are dh only, try to equip warglaives on a warrior.

291

But the weapons in BT are not glaives they are swords and thus equipable .

292

It’s because of the weapon type, now warglaive are a weapon type so if they ever add a new legendary warglaive only dh will be able to mog them and since lorewise the WGOA are warglaives they came up with this compromise.

293

Beause the warglaive weapon type wasn’t a thing yet but they were lorewise, so blizz made this compromise.

294

They are not they are just named the actually weapon is a sword .

295

Like I said lorewise they were not DH exculsive they were for elves so your point if you had one is moot .

296

Now this is a philosophical debate.

If a two-handed sword is equipped in only one hand, is it still a two-handed sword?

WARGLAIVES of Azzinoth. Not Axes of Azzinoth, not Swords of Azzinoth, not Bananas of Azzinoth. Lorewise they are warglaive and blizz made this decision for lore and class fantasy Reason.

I agree, the WGoA are a warglaive principally. However the point remains that there are many rogues, warriors etc who own a sword-type legendary weapon they cannot transmog despite being told in this aptch they’d be able to do exactly that.

So the issue is they’ve stated something that isn’t true, because not ALL legendaries are moggable. Only the WG version of WGoA are, the classic sword version is not.
It’s a halfway-house level of frustrating, if blizzard wanted to mark them for exclusivity they should have redefined their weapon type in Legion to make it clear, this is how it will be. To do it 5 days before a patch where people were expecting to be able to do it. After the WgoA sword-version survived the entire of Legion, which would have been the opportune time to redefine them as glaives given the Dh focus, to just take it away days before people thought they would finally be able to use them in game properly is a whole new level of clueless and careless. They should have taken them away ages ago if that was their intention. Not just before a patch where you promise you can use them hits.

Incorrect, the Cenarion Wardens in Silithus pre-Sword all dual wielded warglaives, and they were not demon hunters.

If you can’t tell that the warglaives of azzinoth are warglaives I can’t do anything for you.
