Why not make 2H's a cosmetic option for Shamans?

Seriously, why not make it work like the Silver Hand artifact appearence of Holy Paladins? What prevents it? Animations work just fine lets be honest. We just gotta update stormstrike which can use the stuff dk’s use. All models already has those animations anyway.

If you ask a question and then answer it just in the next sentence, why even open the thread?

The thing is that animations do not work fine. All cases of animation sharing like holy pala and frost dk, make the slow attacks use the animation of faster weapons, which is easy.

The problem with enh’s case, is that you want the 2h, which are slow and big animations, to fit into the attack pattern of DW, which are pretty fast.

This breaks the character animation in practice, because you can have 1h weapons with asynchronus speeds, and attacks 0.1-0.5 secs next to each other, which totally breaks the big animations for 2h.

It is purely technical problem with how the game/animation works. Blizzard is not the bad guy that just does not want to give shaman 2h tmog option, it is just not cost effective to do so yet.

That is why I gave DK animations as example. I think their timing is rather fitting.

Tho it would be pretty cool to have unique animations like Thrall has in Heroes of the Storm.

But here is the thing, dks can tmog their 2h weapons into DW (artifacts) because it is simple. They just use the animation of their mainhand every 3 secs instead of every 2 secs, and they do not attack with their offhand for auto attacks.

Now try to do the opposite for 2h. You got your 2h weapon animation, but you need to get one animation out every 2secs and one other animation out every 1,5 sec for their offhand (because you can use different speed weapons). Now all of a sudden, the animations kind of break down because they are not designed to be used within 0.1-0.5 secs.

Imagine how you sound now when they adding option for warriors to Tmog 2handers into 1handers as fury , imagine also how funny you sound when paladin can Tmog into 2hander .

Imagine also how funny you sound if we compare 0 haste toon into full haste toon and the animations speed change lol , also btw there is couple of toys ingame that change your toon to use 2hander kobyss toy as example all animations work just fine , examples are everywhere blizz done it with other classes and does it next exp but not for shaman yet you give excuses now think about that.

Also funny when we get stormstrike or lava lash instant reset to overlap animations before it finishes especially on full haste , so your example breaks if we take animations as that exists in the game already , now look at Remix also and how much “Unintented” haste ppl can stack and the animations that you call “Break” , also idk if you played affli lock but with haste you cast Shadow bolts so fast + procs that you finish the cast before animation can settle with the “Start of cast” , all those things exist and fury war next exp gets 1hander Tmog from 2hander.

Enjoy finding excuses.

No need to.

At this point, if people believe that blizzard just hates enh and does not add that option, then no need to even take them seriously.

But keep at it. Maybe on the 37th thread on the forums, they will find it in their hearts to give way to the hatred and flip the switch to enable 2h enh.

The warrior example you give makes no sense. It’s literally going from onehanded animations to onehanded animations. Why would you even bring it up? It makes no sense here.

Also don’t be so condescending to people. It’s rude. Meanwhile the other guy seemed to make his comment in good faith. Whether or not he’s right, I don’t know, but he wasn’t being obnoxious about it.

The attack speed is a cheesy excuse. Who cares if you look like you attack faster with a weapon. They have plenty of 2h animations and reuse them over many classes.

If you can mog your 1h to 2h as holy paladin, I don’t think the issue lies with animation speed here.

Yup no need to said the fury warrior with 2 2handers that can Tmog them into 2 1handers in the next expansion

If we use the brain a bit the guy complained about “Animation speed” and “Attack speed” well here is example of 2handers getting to 1handers which will make their “Animations slower then the actions they press” hard to think right?

Couldn’t care less with ppl who come up with those excuses when other classes get options that Enhance sham asked for years and all their excuses were “They cant make it work” (Lists a list of reasons that exists in other classes yet they can) , Blizz gives next exp surv hunter option to choose to duel wield or to use 2hander , gives fury war option to Tmog 2handers into 1handers ppl start to excuse of animation speed without thinking that its the same exact thing that warriors get yet they get the option.

So yeah i couldn’t care less about people like that who cant stop a second to think and apply same logic into something that blizz gives to other class and if they continue it simply means 1 thing they are tunnel visioning so narrow that there is 0 reason to try show nicely what is on the table each and every time especially next exp.

Yes. Agreed.

I really dont see why you cant mog 2-handers. You should.
