Am I the only one that finds it a little odd that we have 20 sword variants for Prot Pally, and only 4 for Prot Warrior? The biased opinion here is that I have played Prot Warrior since vanilla, but I'd expect the same for Prot Paladin if it was vice versa. Also, I wish they put more into the off-hand/off artifact items for ALL classes. ie: the swords for Prot Warr and Pally could be different designs, the Resto Shaman shields, etc. I know it's been voiced above, but this is a HUGE game system for WoW and Legion as a whole. Unless they plan on expanding these in patches down the road from release, I'm slightly underwhelmed. I say slightly only because a good majority of what we DO have, has looked pretty great. Fire mage swords are down right filthy. *drool*
Sorry, mostly meant that, since they seem to be sticking to the horridly dull idea of a lava offhand, it doesn't even have other color/model variants to match the Doomhammer model you choose (a wind axe or lightning claw, or really anything). It's just a developing cop-out to not have another off-hand choice. Thank you for the correction on the mog-able, I did scroll too quickly.
I'm still waiting to see if fist weapons are no longer limited to being mogged into fist weapons, been hard on fist weapon users being only able to mog into other fists very few good looking sets exist.
I will not be a fan of the constant lava look on the offhand. I would much rather have the enhancement offhand look just like which-ever appearance is on the main hand, or at least change the offhand to have the same shape as what ever is in the main hand, but with an elemental look, and not just lava color.
So every time previously we have seen The Doomhammer it has been wielded as a one or two-handed weapon alone. To paraphrase Matthew Rossi from Blizzard Watch, "Orgrim, Thrall, all these years you've been doing it WRONG." :D
As an undead prot warrior I'm left thinking that I will have to transmog over these current designs
This post is totally subjective and I'm no lore wizard, so feel free to criticize :) Also I have not played the alpha, this is only based on wowhead (best site ever) info.I feel like warriors aren't receiving enough love :( Probably everybody feels the same about their class though xD but to mention some example: I think our artifacts aren't cool, they don't have any previous lore as Doomhamer or Ashbringer. I like the two hander, looks cool, but the dual swords are meh and the shield appearances are like remix of old models and the one handed sword is punny in comparison with the paladin one :P Also we missed a big change with the two hander, the Axe of Cenarius. On the other hand the hall is all golden and stuff, which I think would be cooler with a darker or colder theme, but I heard some people like it, maybe is more alliance themed which should be good for a change. The thing is still empty though, according to the wowhead video. There isn't even a post about it :( And also there is still no tier 19 for the warrior.Anyway, I suppose most of these things will be taken care soonish than later, but still I found weird that nobody is mentioning this things.* English is not my main language so expect many edits fixing typos/grammar/etc *First edit: just read the second page of comments, I don't feel alone anymore :)
I think that's all we get, kinda like ele shams
I kinda wish for like the DW specs(except ehn) we could customize each weapon individually, but that's just my thoughts.
Not bad? It's terrible. Once again, Shadow priests are an after thought. Look at the Paladin off-hand. It's always like that. We haven't had decent looking gear since tier 7. That is pretty much when Shadow priests started getting the shaft with gear looks and it wasn't long after that when we started getting the shaft in terms of dps. Meh. But I'll keep playing my Spriest like a dummy. :)
what the hell are they doing with feral? there isn't even an equip effect on the weapon. do they honestly have no idea where they're going with the spec?
so the lava doomhammer doesn't even at least *change color* to match?God, that's just annoying.
those are the only one
Since artifact off-handers have been announced, i have the same question and no answers to be found:Will we ever see off-hand books / scepters / whatever on the character ? Right now on live, i can see my offhand bowl of soup (Steamscar Vessel) when i press Z, but while in combat (casting) the off-hand is non-existant. It would be a shame for these cool off-hand artifacts to be hidden on all characters, and not shown somehow on the belt (like a sheathed dagger, or like the paladin tome on Arthas).
Will I be able to mog one handed weapon into another type one-handed? A mace into a fist weapon for example.
