The Sloth, Enjoyer of Worgen

I think the story of its original wielder being able to fight for days and nights on end paints a better picture of how it links to Vengence DH. If they went a little more in detail of how the absorbed souls empower the user, it'd feel a bit more complete but that's just me

7/10

You can feel a bit of the "hype moments and aura" they try to garner with the user of these weapons being one of the only to directly challenge Sargeras but admittedly it does kinda show how it links to being a DH tank. I think the soul absorption power gimmick is a bit half baked though

Alderachi Warblades have more going on tho

They're unique in that they're an artifact that comes from a whole other planet. They interestingly don't look like most other warglaives. I think it would've been better if they looked just a bit more "alien" but design wise, it's solid enough

As far as the lore goes, I mean yeah it's a legion weapon empowered by Kil'Jaden but like

that barely does anything for me. Vaguely empowered by a major villain, no interesting tie into Havoc DHs like some other weapons

Very nothingburger
The other appearances carry it

2/10

It's obv not helped by the fact that we're seeing this class playable for the first time so there aren't any other examples of glaives that aren't powerful artifacts but still. I think the basic warglaives you get look more powerful than these

DH is another interesting case. Everything had to be made up right then and there since well there weren't any prominent DHs with known lore weapons besides Illidan (correct me if I'm wrong there)

That said, Twinblades of the Deceiver kinda does nothing for me. These just look like basic DH weapons

There's no special transformation tied to the scythe either. Despite my biases, I do think it's a good choice when you ignore the awkward ugly chicken you're forced to take the shape of. An artifact with massive lunar power tied to the creation of WoW's werewolves
Yeah

Please Delete Moonkin/10

God I just

why moonkin man
why the class that I actively would never want to look like

I know Balance is literally where most of the druidic spellcasting fantasy comes from and yeah the Scythe does complement that in some ways but

urghghgh I HATE this fucking thing
Why did it need to exist!!!

Scythe of Elune is where I have a lot more thoughts

As the Worgen guy I do appreciate having one closely tied to the Worgen (despite the acquisition quest having nothing to do with them and I do like that it's one of the few weapons that had an established presence in lore

But

I rate these both 10/10 due to the fact that they just make the enough sense that I can't see them doing anything else that would be better. Even though I hate the way WoW implemented Druid, this is pretty much the most complimentary choice with what they've done

Same with the Fangs of Ashamane for Feral

I don't recall of Ashamane had any mention in WoW prior to Legion but honestly I could be fooled into thinking there was. Again another direct wild god to take the form of. Very solid implementation

Putting aside my personal biases for Druid, I think this is a solid concept on its own. Ursoc and Ursol already had a presence in the lore since Grizzly Hills so it makes perfect sense to give them a proper appearance through the artifacts

It's the most natural implementation so far

10/10

Guild Wars 2 stole my time but back to this now

Druid was certainly an interesting class to tackle because blizz had to address the fact that the druid forms make every piece of gear invisible. Anyway Claws of Ursoc.
The only natural choice would be to let druids take the form of a wild god

Training you to spot the worgen npcs in the background
Be sure to keep those eyes sharp

It feels a lot more insulting given that their origin on Highmountain is tied to Huln and the spear artifact so uhhh
Why are there only like 3 tauren there

I know a lot of new lore had to be made for Legion but it'd be nice if it didn't *feel* like if they slapped all this together last minute

I can't imagine how hunter mains felt at the time oh my god
At the very least most of the other orders at least felt like formidable armies amassing and making real contributions. I could at least be fooled into thinking my char wasn't 99% of their power with maybe warrior or rogue

Not hunter lol

lol like how do you even come back from this
Pretty much *the* hunter tells you that he didn’t join the order of people who do his same profession because he doesn’t have a high opinion of them

Brooooooo
Lmao some real specimens out there

Am I just cherry picking here or does WoW’s player base have a profound set of brainworms that I straight up do not see anywhere else

How do you rationalize owning fucking slaves in any kind of RP setting
How do you even get more than one person to agree to that

They just…really didn’t want to make that paladin mount huh
Was the world just not ready for a heavily armored sunwalker moose

Yes
This appeals to me

Awwooo! Welcome the Timerunning members of the Moon Pack: Ravage, Riven, Rattle, Rain and Rich.

Godspeed

The worst part is that they’re plopping him in places like pandaria and highmountain like he has any reason to be allowed to hunt for sport there

Pffft that man is on my ignore at all costs list every time I see him
His quests could level me all the way to max for all I care I’ll still call them a waste of time

Been seeing a split on opinions for this set
I’m more fond of the orange-ish tint tbh but the red and black isn’t bad

Do we know which tints come from what yet?

Worgen 🐺

Yeah this is just an all around solid weapon. For me the design holds it back just a little. The colors available aren't really to my liking personally

It's a weird combination tho with BM hunters and lightning but it does kinda work in that you tame an exotic titan pet and get its abilities

8/10

Titanstrike + Hati
Titan crafted weapon #5

This is essentially the first firearm ever created which I dig. It runs on storm energy so it's less of a firearm and more of a straight up railgun
What makes it a BM weapon is the fact that it's tied to one of Thorim's wolves Hati
