In addition to warglaives, several other weapon restrictions could be loosened to expand freedom of choice! In addition, go one step further and let Enhancement shamans, Paladins and even casters use a single glaive in their main hand - they’re just swords right? Monks, Warriors, Rogues, Death Knights should all be allowed to use glaives.
The Twinblades of Azzinoth several glaive-lookalike weapons use default 1-handed sword combat animations, so why not allow warglaives as a weapon type simply default like all swords, axes and maces?Ĭlipping may occur but considering how many weapons in game already clip from their basic animations, or even while ‘sheathed’, I don’t think this should be the argument that warglaives should stay Demon Hunter only! It was important that each of these new sets thematically fit both the class they represented and (oftentimes) the location of the raid they dropped within.ġ handed sword animations don't look goofy with Glaives Pre-BFA, Antorus the Burning Throne and all the raids before it introduced armor sets that expanded on the class identity it represented. Why Class Silhouette shouldn’t matter in modern World of Warcraft:Īllow me to first say that Class Silhouette is important when it comes to tier class sets. But was the Demon Hunter identified because of their iconic weapons in hand or because of the visual spell kits associated with their abilities and class?Each class has a distinct identifiable visual kit that is unique enough to indicate what they are from first glance. In-game scenarios that demanded quick reaction, such as Battlegrounds and Arenas, relied on immediate class identification. It’s the Fel Dash, the beam of Fel Energy, the green-fire attacks and the dark purple class name that reads ‘Demon Hunter’. But it’s not the weapon type that signals my brain to think ‘Oh that’s a Demon Hunter’. The response given revolved around the concept of ‘Class silhouette’ and staying true to it : “a character approaching you with glaives should instantly be recognized as a Demon Hunter”. I had the privilege of interviewing Steve Danuser and Morgan Day for Blizzconline and during the interview, I brought up Warglaives and how they, as a weapon type, are one of the most restricted weapons in game despite 15 years of lore indicating that they are a multicultural weapon.
