On a general note, 109.3 dps, as well as the stats on the item are well below the budget of an ilvl 156 legendary, it is in fact budgeted as if it were an epic. I guess in this case the orange name is only to signify its importance.

Comment by Mblast

For those wondering whether or not this is available, a good indication that it exists for players to gain is the class requirement on it. There would be no reason to put that in unless they plan on letting players obtain it.

Comment by Xindan

Per http://www.wowwiki.com/Blades_of_Azzinoth and other lore sources (namely the RPG books), it appears that this is one of the twin Blades of Azzinoth; weapons that Illidan looted from the corpse of the demon Azzinoth during the War of the Ancients. I highly doubt Archimonde or Hyjal relates to the other item.

Here's the Off-hand for it.

For those of you with wowmodelviewer, here are the itemids you add to your items.csv file.

32837, 45479, 2, 7, 21, Warglaive of Azzinoth (Main)
32838, 45481, 2, 7, 22, Warglaive of Azzinoth (Off)

Does anyone know how you swing these swords with both equipped? Is there an animation out there?
It would be cool if there were a unique custom animation when weilding both these swords like the warcraft 3 Demon hunter,

Updated to reflect haste rating changes in patch 2.2:

Percent Haste Modifiers are multiplicative, and Haste Rating is summed then converted into a percent then multiplied by the other percent modifiers.

The general formula for determining new weapon speed is:

nws = ows / hm

Where:

nws = New Weapon Speed
ows = Old Weapon Speed
hm = Haste Modifier

And:

hm = (1 + (m1 / 100)) * (1 + (m2 / 100)) * ... *

Where:

m1, m2, ... are percent modifiers (Slice and Dice, Blade Flurry, Mongoose Proc, etc)
HR = Total Haste Rating
HRC = Haste Rating Conversion (at 70 this is 15.6 per +1%)

Example:

Slice and Dice (+30%) and Warglaive Set Proc (+450 rating) on the main hand Warglaive (2.8 speed):

ows = 2.8
m1 = 30% (Slice and Dice)
HR = 450
HRC = 15.6

hm = (1 + (30/100)) * (1 + ((450/15.8)/100)) ~ 1.68

nws = ows / hm = 2.8 / 1.68 ~ 1.67

So the main hand Warglaive goes from 2.8 to 1.67 (+67% attack speed) speed with Slice and Dice and the set proc.

If you had the Abacus bonus on as well then HR = (450 + 260), and performing the calculation again yields ~1.49 effective speed.

Comment by 59020

haste rating does stack so if u have a d3 rogue asssination set equiped with slice and dice on and Abacus of Violent Odd and dragon spine trophy and this two blades on your attack speed would become retardedly low.. i used blackout truncheon with the d3 rogue set with slice and dice alone and my mainhand attack speed became 0.87 considering the haste from the mace , the rogue d3 set and slice and dice is on. I wonder what would happen with 2 haste trinkets , (Abacus of Violent Odds) (dragonspine trophy) , the twin blades and the assassination d3 rogue set on and everything proc while u use slice and dice, toss in mongoose enchant and blade flurry for combat sword rogue specced with windfury on the weapons AND berserking ... let the damage fly haha

Comment by Endersion

Hmm so no one knows or has any idea whatsoever as to how either of these weapons could be obtained?

According to WoWinsider, this item has just droppped for a world first - read it here (25.6.07):

Comment by 55621

Oh Oh Oh i think. Illidan glaives changes when he consume gul'dan skull thats why. So sorry for that half-false information.

Comment by 56853

As a Hemo Rogue I am very sad to say this is the only weapon that is slower than 2.7 in entire wow (for lvl 70 ofc).

We really don't see much slow weapons anymore like in the oldies (remember the High Warlord's Blade @ 2,9 speed imba Hemo sword).

Nowerdays this is the one, and for most of the rogues impossible to get.

Comment by Silvie

Dropped for Method of Sylvanas-EU at 15/7/07

Comment by Darksbane

Furi of Blood Legion (US Illidan Server) obtained both the main hand and the offhand on August 1st, 2007, which made him the first person in the world to complete the set.

Picture of him with the blades: http://www.worldofraids.com/img/boards/bt/furi2.jpg

(Edit: For clarification, he obtained the offhand on August 1st. He had gotten the main hand sometime before that.)

Comment by 76169

seriously, who in their right mind would even come across the thought of disenchanting this...

Comment by VoidDragon

Demon hunters aren't actual hunters at all. They're 'hunters' in the same sense that a paladin hunts undead. They're more like a magical rogue, in a sense. They melee and become more demonic as they grow stronger. Illidan himself was more like a mage before everything else.

If they do ever bring the Demon Hunter class to WoW, you'll never touch a bow, come close to having a pet, or even track anything other than demons.

If you really want to know about Illidan, read the War of the Ancients Trilogy. If you want to know more about Demon Hunters, page through the World of Warcraft RPG: Alliance Player's Guide.

Comment by 9020

wow so far 2 blades has dropped for Forte guild?!? I am referring to the picture.

Comment by 82665

Is it just me, or does 6% drop rate sound ridiculously high for this item? Shouldn't it be less than 2%?

Comment by beretta

As someone who has a hand of Ragnaros, I just want to say I do not think this weapon should be of Legendary (Orange) quality.
The Hand of Rag, Staff of Ateish, and the Thunderfury sword all take a tremendous amount of resources to create, which must be built up over a long period of time.

This, though a rare drop... is the weapon. This sword is like Hand of Rag dropping instead of the eye of sulfuras... But with other legendaries, you needed multiple, extremely rare items to drop (eye of sulfuras, 8 sulfuron ingots anyone?, not to mention another and a weaponsmith just to be able to craft it)............. this is just a drop. Nothing more to it then a random boss drop, just a lower drop rate.

Dunno, just stating my opinion, if it isnt diffucult to get, just a random boss drop and takes nothing to make it, no time invested to craft it, it shouldnt be a legendary.

Comment by 90559

well in my opinion the colour of the weapon doesn't matter. Illidan is a famous wow character and a important person in the wow history, so were Ragnaros, Thunderan and kel'thuzad. so a legend holds a legendary item ^^

Comment by Lesane

Has an internal cooldown of 45s on the 2.3 PTR right now.

Comment by darkyoshi87

Any Warriors have this yet?

Comment by InfinityX

No, the animations perform just as if you were holding a sword. It still looks good on the vast majority of races.

Did anyone notice that the panda emblem on them is missing? I remember in Warcraft 3, these had panda heads on them.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Comment by NeoBlackheart

I have both of these on my rogue and when I have everthing proced and done I actually looked at the speedx is around 1.15 this is with all abilites used and all procs from items currently equiped.

Comment by 119626

Could really use a warrior screenshot. These weapons arent just for rogues..

Comment by Coldkil

tbh, they remain the most powerful weapons for rogues also with new 2.4 loot.

109 dps awesome speed (2.80 main 1.40 off) and insane set bonus. hope to get them as my guild will run toward the face of illidan.

but i wanna see some other s4 weaps....(stupid blizzard trying to merge pve and pvp)

Comment by 72359

Is it then possible that both of the warglaives drop at once?
I Heard of some rumors, that a guild on EU-Arthas got both glaives on a single Illidan kill.

We have killed Illidan 11 times by now, no Warglaive :(

Comment by 34089

This weapon should go to rogues before warriors because a competent warrior would never complete the set due to the 1.4 speed offhand, therefore not making full use of the stat allocation on this, which is mostly in the proc. Discuss.

Comment by 150957

Avitar, thats really dumb. A warrior can use a slow off-hand for fury. The only thing that really takes much affect is whirlwind. But at the cost of some damage your gaining rage a bit faster, which will counter into using other skills to regain that damage. So a warrior using the set would be completely viable to a rogue.

Comment by LuckySleven

you could see that the panda in illidan's warglaive is happy when he was normal in WC3

when he took the skull of guldan the panda turned angry at WC3 frozen throne

Comment by 72359

First legendary that has no Quest you have to do, to obtain the Item.
Also first "real" legendary in Burning Crusade (Kael'thas weapons are only temporary)

Warglaive of Azzinoth / Warglaive of Azzinoth

Comment by masterzyck

I have only few things to say about this weapon. Its cool, its mean and it hurts likie hell to be hitted by a combat rogue as a warlock:P

Comment by Strut

I have an addon that tells me a number to decide which gear or weapon is better. I was looking at warglaive and the brutal sword and it tells me that glaive is better. Does anyone no if that is true?

Comment by 171491

the first warglaive of azzinoth is stronger than the second one!
But so cool!

Comment by 175314

who or what is Azzinoth?

Comment by omnom

The fearsome demon called Azzinoth was a doomguard commander of the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients before the Great Sundering. He met his end, however, when he came upon Illidan Stormrage.

Comment by 175314

oh thanks was he in any of the previous warcrafts?

Comment by 170772

I'm a Rogue myself and I'd really like to know if these are the best Swords for Rogues, and if not, which is then the best Sword in WoW for Rogues?

Comment by 145147

I have a question, is it true that there can only be one legendary per server?

Comment by Nephili

I wish they'd remove the class restriction already - this looks like possibly the best tanking weapon for paladins (in terms of threat generation) come WotLK.

Comment by 65626

cannot be disenchanted.

Comment by 89415

Some might have heard about the case of Zeuzo, a rogue on EU-Sylvanas from the guild Method who sold his account to another player for 7000 € (9,500$). Few days after the sale the account was banned. Zeuzo's rogue had double Twin Blades and 4/5 T6. Zeuzo, now 7000€ richer proceeded to make a new rogue, who soon had almost the same gear as his old one.

Comment by 191691

It's actually kind of sad that this weapon will end up being replaced by some easy to get epic out of a 10-man raid. Is there any official word on whether or not these will be upgradeable? Illidan apparently grew in power with them, you could safely assume that so could your character.

It's just a pity to see an item with real significance to the WoW universe's history ending up as a banked toy.

Comment by 34876

Since I've seen a Warri tanking with this:
It's one of the very worst tanking-aggro weapons in game due to its slow speed. Especially for Off-Tanks without Devestate.

Comment by 191279

Actually I have a question, is it true that these will only drop once while in a guild? and you have to guild hop doing raids over and over just at a chance to get these? I'm on a non PvP server and I'm curious about this. I was told by a guy i met on Trollbane that this was the case. If so I think that's complete BS.

Comment by Lemma

These will be replaced by quest greens in Wrath of the Lich King.

Comment by 205247

Sells to a vendor 24gold 31silver and 12copper... Good to know if one of these happen to drop. I need cash.

The main hand gives 1 Stamina and agility more then the offhand gives

EDIT : They have the Exact same DPS

Comment by 229791

I just realised that I've never seen this weapon w/o mongoose o_O

Comment by Halbarad

actually one of the screenshots shows it enchanted with Executioner, but Mongose is 99.9% the normal for this, heh maybe they could could pre enchanted next time, save us the hassle :)

Comment by 53873

willl they also drop in wotlk? or will bliz remove them like amani war bear?

Comment by 224239

THEY WILL STILL DROP IN WOTLK!

Sorry caps.

Anyways, Warglaives are crazy (and prob stay that way till level 74-75). I remember doing EoTS and met a premade match, saw a rogue with double Warglaives. Got Backstabbed for 4000 (With 16000 armor!). So yeah, don't want to play games with someone with double warglaives

Comment by 224239

Oh, yeah. Sorry, don't know rogues well. Any idea what I got hit by then?

Comment by 209467

There should be an acievment. If you have the set to get a title.<name> of Azzinoth.

Comment by 226851

I wonder about what you get from disenchant

I'd sure like to know how the rogue managed to backstab you with this sword.

Comment by 216030

As I said in the Feats of Strength Achievement:

SW:P 6.5 rogue set + the set of glaives is GODLY DPS. Just wish we could all of stayed on 2.4.3. :(

Comment by 294264

Definately not as good now that WotLK is out.

Comment by 155265

I hope they make legendaries scale with level, like they're doing with heirloom items. I mean, seriously, these are incredible stuff we're wielding here.

Comment by 170994

I heard that class restriction was taken off bindings anyone know if they did it with the glaives?

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18564#comments <- where i read that about the bindings

Comment by 227308

It's not as good for warriors now that Titan's Grip is out (at least for Fury)

Comment by 165765

wow lol most of the people in some pictures are private realms that have duel weild cause those never drop for me every time i ran it never droped =(

Comment by 18785

I just looted the offhand 2 days ago, it does still drop and it still says rogue/warrior on the tooltip.

Comment by 323959

Cool weapons(set), huge damage, even if the level is not as high as expected. Using it's 450 standard haste chance(43%haste)+blade flurry(20%)+slice and dice(35%)+meta socket(31% haste)+haste potion(40% :D)+ mongoose(2%) + personal (10%) + bloodlust( 30%) = 231% HASTE! AWESOME!

Comment by Kumo

This'll probably get downrated by someone, but they look like evil fairy wings when they're on your back!

Comment by 353629

Can dks use these, I don't know any 70 dk that has tried :(

Comment by 349685

is weapon is too bad for being legendary and with so low drop chance..and being Illidan's weapon...should be stronger

Comment by 308170

the haste buff is 100% proc chance but has 45sec internal CD. so u will have 450 haste for 1/3 of the time

Comment by 213817

Is this weapon still viable in WotLK because when watching the Ensidia video of them downing Algalon for their world first. I saw a guy with this and I'm guessing he must prefer this weapon over epics with a higher weapon level but then again I'm not an expert on rogues so Id like to know if this weapon is viable?

Comment by 390962

I wonder if Blizzard is going to change the itemization on the blades so that DKs can also use them now, since they are the third class that can dual wield swords. Plus, it's far enough into the the DK play time that it would make it a worthy weapon to try and grab.

Comment by 400098

I've been farming these bad boys for 5 1/2 months in WotLK. Started back in Early January, got my Off-Hand to start within the first month (5%-6% drop rate). Then the (Main-Hand 4% drop rate) many many months later, after week in and week out farming never missing a single lockout. Working my butt off I started up my own groups (trying to advoid the people I knew would mess it up, which is a problem in it's own) and *Reserved them* for the around 23 downings on this Half-Nelf SoB. Was very determained and got them with time, always had a fast heart beat when it was time to loot him for that split second, looking for the Orange at the top of the loot table mainly expecting to see just purple. Long strung out journey, and supposedly 5-6 months is pretty quick I hear..so...yah. Although Illidan might not be too hard to kill in WotLK (Easier than IC) you might still find it challenging if you want his duel blades and should be ready to kill him week in and week out to get them, unless you get extremely lucky. For those curious in all the roughly atleast 23 killings my groups and I achieved we only saw the 2 drop that I obtained. Could have easily been another Off-Hand for the 2nd one, because of the higher drop rate, and It's just commonly known the MH is Rarer than the OH. But in my case to a suprise it was a Main-Hand. Anyways that's my journey/statistics, GL to other farmers out there, as I know there are not many of them, but some. With time he definetly becomes an easier fight as you and your friends strive into more of the Ulduar gear. If anyone is wondering you will definetly draw some attention while in Org.

Edit - Well Ciel...you're quite the Idiot to say the least..if you've played the game enough in Burning Crusade anyone would know, by all means the Off-Hand has a higher chance percentage to drop over His Main Hand Warglaive, (go on ahead and ask your realm's higher up raiding guilds from those times, if you're not in one. Don't go all stupid on yourself just by reading off from what the this site says. First off don't be a jerk-off calling me a "jackass" right off the bat, for trying to give out usefull information based my OWN experiences, as you have NOT experienced them, And lastly..don't do it when your facts are wrong, because saying they're the same drop rate is a WRONG statement you freaking "know it all"...fine to give out your own oppinion...but adding the word "jackass" at the end of it...is disrespectful...exspecially when I've done jack crap to you, and secondly when your statement is wrong right in front of that word..anyways turn the word back on yourself. Thx : P

Comment by Ciel

drop rate is the same for both glaives jackass

Comment by TheMaelstorm

not a huntar weapon.

Comment by Corim

Technically (as most of you should know) the warglaives are NOT the best items for dps ( for a rogue ) , but actually the blades you get from killing kil' jaeden, though warglaives are better for pvp( i don't know what daggers/swords are better now in WotLK) ... ... just thought u might wana know :)...

Comment by 389252

Just ninja'd by Scir on the Stonemaul server.

Comment by 207548

I don't want dirty ass DK's getting their grubby fingers on our weapons! Besides, why would Blizzard change an old world item now? Adding the DK race to the classes that can use the Warglaives is about a stupid as adding a T6 token for DK's, there's just no point.

Comment by 377532

They did not change it so DKs can use these, it is still only Rogue, Warrior.
Just so you know. Also I doubt that they will change the itemization so DKs could use it, they may have changed it so DKs can use Thunderfury, although I doubt they will do the same for the Warglaives.

Update: Well... apparently Blizzard didn't share my views on the subject. The Warglaives have now been updated to allow Death-knights to use this weapon.

Comment by Malinq

Funny how people still run BT pugs just to ninja these...

Comment by 348016

getting through the BT takes a bloody long time, could take 2-3 hours atleast, and its so easy to wipe. I think these should be legendary items because illidan is more harder then nefarian and ragnaros put together...

Awesome item, but, you won't believe me, I never needed it, as I was a tank. Taking up Illidan's shield was my need and also the plate head.

Nice One In Patch 2.4.3
Very Good look like
but Not Good For Enchants

Comment by fran13r

actually any dk have more in common with illidam than warriors and maybe just maybe more than rouges too, just saying, i really never see the point in the whole only usable by warriors or rouges, hunters can double wield, why they didn't get the chance to use the warglaives? its only stupid if u ask me, of course warriors and rouges don't want any other class to use them (@$$holes), i have a rouge with the warglaives and i rely don't care who may have them, after all AGAIN never see the point in the players wielding a legendary wep. if more than 20 ppl have the same pair of swords, its not that legendary isn't it? it's like, illidam having a whole room with 9999999 warglaives. i like that blizzard didn't do the same thing with frostmourne! (its almost more than impossible due to the "if u wield frost u'll become the lich daddy"

btw take care of who is farming this swords with you, ninjas can need it just to make u rely rely mad >=( stupid ninjas!

Comment by Vip3r

Behold this sword, the one that Illidan use it to slash his opponents. Behold...

.... Warglaive of Azzinoth of the Whale

Comment by 530761

quote from Fran13r

Your inability to spell properly is astounding. Illidam? not sure who that is. Rely? you need to go back to school.

Death Knights, honestly, Don't deserve anything legendary (not even shadowmourne) seeing as 99.99% of the entire death knight class is horrible at playing and can barely pull the dps required for many instances/raids.

I'm more than glad that Blizz didn't change it to where they allow dks to use these legendary swords. I hope they NEVER change it to where they can use them.

Comment by su1c1de

owh well this main drop juz now at tich,and ml ninjaed it =(.looks like its drop rate raised little bit.

This is one kick@#$ sword

Comment by Backmask

Dude: How much for this weapon?

Vendor: Oh my! A legendary weapon!.... 20 gold.

Dude: Are you serious? This is one of the Warglaives used by Illidan himself in which he obtained from slaying the doomguard commander Azzinoth of the Burning Legion!

Vendor: Okay, fine... 24 gold and some change...

What drop percent does warglaive's has?

i take it that typing the warglaives in and then looking at the drop % spot is hard?

and did you fail English in school? the incoherence is amazing, as is your stupidity in your post.

Coolest looking weapon in the game, no doubt!

Comment by 666522

Any non class specfic - One Hand (useable in both) earlyish level drop that resembles these?
Atleast in being a weapon with 2 blades.

Comment by Varllok

I'm not sure if anyones noticed it, but on the Cataclysm wowhead page for this item, it also has Death Knights tagged as a class that can wield it. Is that intended or just a bug?

For what reason should dks be able to use the glaives? THAY ARE PREPARED now?

thay wasent part of this game back then and thay never will be tbh. prob most retarded change i seen in some time now.

Comment by Jerodast

I've seen surprisingly none enchantment discussion on here for such a distinctive looking weapon. Wondering what enchants look good on these guys.

I'm pretty sure all the screenshots I've seen have had either Mongoose or nothing on 'em. Mongoose looks pretty good but has anyone tried others? I was thinking of doing Lifestealing cuz the purple aura might contrast with the green in a cool way but I'm wondering if the innate weapon glow would make it barely noticeable. Thoughts?

Comment by 582169

Warglaives can now be equiped by DKs too, we got one today :P

Comment by spcmack

I got this on my first (yeah i took my sweet time) illidan kill yesterday. The rumor is that the drop rate has been increased by 20% on legendary drops, but I can't find anything on google to support that. Anyone able to confirm the drop rate for legendary weapons has increased?

Comment by 757652

I was lucky enough and got both glaives in 1 day. The same day i got level 70 too.
First got off-hand before reset, then after reset main-hand.

There's armory. Check achievments for level 70 and glaives. :)

Lucky me!

Comment by 709149

Before I start to truly flail everywhere, is it 100% confirmed that these can now be used by Death Knights?
As a HUGE lore geek these are a must.

Comment by Godisgrisen

Why doesn't it transform you to a demon on the 450 haste effect? That would be soo much cooler.

Comment by 777889

I got the sword after 7 months lol

Comment by Sellest

I got very lucky and after offhand last week we went to BT again and this time mainhand dropped. I have never chance to get them in BC because all the rogues in guild and fact I was arms warrior so this felt a bit satisfying. I tried them a bit in heroics with guildies and I wasn't ashamed when I seen recount. Maybe I will be after upcoming howling blast nerf :P On boss dummy I ended with 12k dps after few tests which is not bad also.

Comment by 483941

Imho, gnomes should not be allowed to use this weapon. Why? they would be pole vaulted trying to swing it. Look in screenshots. there is a Gnome wearing them and they are taller than her.

Comment by 784389

I don't see anything wrong with death knights being added to the list of classes that can use these. After all, it's two whole expansions after The Burning Crusade, so only two types of people are going to want these anyways. One being weapon collectors, which these are a beautiful addition to any collection. And the other being level 70 twinks.

The only way that a dk is going to get away with successfully using these is oddly as unholy spec. The reason is because Threat of Thassarian favors a slow offhand. As for unholy, dual-wielding doesn't really cut their damage output and the haste proc would be incredible for Sudden Doom procs.

Warriors, on the other hand, shouldn't get caught dead twinking with these because, like frost dks, Single-Minded Fury favors a slow offhand.

Nonetheless, these are still designed wholeheartedly for rogues specifically. And now with Ambush being able to be used with any weapon and not just daggers, these have suddenly become the top of every subtlety rogue's wish list. Any warriors or dks using these weapons aren't making full use of the itemization on them.

They. Will. Always. Be. Rogue. Weapons.

Edit: To all those who may down-rate me, the information that I posted is concerning level 70 twinks. As for weapon collectors, who cares if they have these?

Comment by pinktiger

Just got the MH on my Death Knight :)

Comment by 823862

Got my mainhand on my first ever run in BT. Offhand on the other hand, 4 runs and nothing yet. :(

Comment by 615735

I just got them On my Death Knight If you wanna make it simple all you really need is a dps and a pref healer with a Rdps spec i was Blood/frost we only had issues getting to illidan because of the Souls Boss Just dont give up and you will get them aswell:)

Comment by Johnnydeath

@OwellOtra How many runs did it take you?

I am just starting my once a week run for these for my level 70 twink. It took about 5 85s to do it and 2 hours. So im kinda wanting a range on time on how long it would take if I ran it once a week. If anyone has a rough Idea..

Comment by 832983

but you got to admit they look really bad ass

Comment by kylolz

took me ~45 runs to complete my set, saw 2 MHs and 1 OH. cleared BT on and off since LK release. at 80 i actually did full 25 man runs, just trade chat pugs. once cata hit we did it with 5-10, then once we got our heroic gear we started doing it with 5 or less 85s and some alt twinks

Comment by 830782

you made my night. thank you

Comment by Jagaren1

lol I hit level 70 on 6/27/2011 on my soon to be rogue twink. I made a bt group and got my offhand glaive. Soon after on 6/30/2011 I got my mainhand in the next raid lockout.... lol pretty lucky I suppose. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/dragonmaw/Vajayj%C3%A4y/simple

Comment by 849411

There are much better items from sunwell for DK twinks than a pair of FLASHY swords. DK's shouldnt care about agility, if anything they should be trying to get the 2h sword off the last boss in sunwell...

Comment by Redclouds

Was just running some guild lowbies through Black Temple. It was an absolutely incredible feeling to see this drop. Sadly, our only warrior was an 84, and our ownly dk was an 85. There were no rogues in the group whatsoever. Kind of a tragedy if you ask me. But wow. Nothing like feeling your heart stop when you see that orange text.

Comment by 875785

As of 9/6/2011, what are the average runs to have one of these drop? Please don't reply with one of those comments such as "I got lucky, first try drop".

Comment by Hamanis

Last I checked, it was still a 4-5% drop rate. No reason as to why Blizzard would randomly change the drop rate on an old legendary.

That being said, 3 runs and 3 MH drops. Giving to an 85 rogue, 85 warrior, and my 82 rogue.
RNG is RNG though

Comment by Rtucci

Wow, I just got the main hand tonight on my dwarf rogue on his second run. Crazy luck. Not sure but I think I'm probably the only dwarf on my server with one haha, or at least the only one I've seen. Time to farm that off hand now.

Comment by 880214

I was talking to a GM today regarding this item, and the GM confirmed that both warglaives can in fact drop at the same time, although the chances of that happening are extremely slim.

Comment by StansDad

"Blizzard has stated that you can't transmogrify into legendary weapons"

Exactly so - and in addition, you cannot transmog any equipment to look like something that your class cannot normally use.

Comment by Effectrix

Fun fact: if you wield both Warglaives in the Well of Eternity, Illidan will emote:

Illidan Stormrage says: Curious weapons you wield... such power.
Illidan Stormrage says: You seem prepared.

Comment by Worcraft2120

This is truly one of the best Legendary's in the game

Comment by Worcraft2120

Cool and Green

Comment by 923913

this obviously is a terrible weapon for level 70 melee classes and is pointless to have, its stupid looking too (sarcasm)

Comment by Feebie

When i Got my Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker and my Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros i noticed that i got the guild Achievment before the actual feat of strength achievment (which i got when i equipped them)
I think it's very important to know that if noone in the raid can use the glaives or any other legendary simply raidroll them because the guild the character is in will earn the guild achievment for the legendary weapon if the character is at the required reputation level with the guild.

Comment by 921895

Coolest looking item ever :]

Comment by mischiefbrew

just thought ide mention somthing, there is a 100% way to tell if a glaive has dropped before ANYONE loots illidan (ive confirmed this with 3 glaives dropped). when illidan dies his glaives are a standard size, BUT when he dies a a glaive is in the loot table his personal glaives that he uses through-out the fight will actually shrink to character scale until said item is loot and removed from his corpse. just thought people mite enjoy this bit of information so they no when one drops before anyone even loots it =)

Comment by 957168

Severely outdated but still my favorite Legendary.

Comment by 954765

i wish there was a red version like wowhead made as an april fool

Comment by 384510

When Mists of Pandaria comes out, does anyone think they'll allow Monks to use these? DW swords after all.

Comment by 976829

1st run- MH glaive, won it
2nd run-nothing
3rd run-OH glaive-lost
4th run-nothing
5th run- MH glaive
6th run- OH glaive-won
Got my glaives in 6 runs, seen 4 drop, so it's like 66% for me

Comment by 141313

So I set my mind of getting these beauties. Must have been lucky but I got the set in 8 weeks. Got the MH in the 7th week and the OH in the 8th week :)

since when death knights can wield warglaive...! O.O'

Comment by 476600

Little question. On my twink Rogue I have Dual \124h\124r");]Crux's. Would 1 glaive be better than a Crux?

Comment by 391308

Does anyone know of an enchant that matches the appearance of this? I made the mistake of enchanting this with one of the Death Knight enchants...

EDIT: Figured out a weapon chain will fix this.

Comment by leggomyeggo588

Monks will be able to use both glaives once Mists of Pandaria comes out. Competition for Glaive Runs will be intense...

Comment by Flameater

It's official, Monks will be able to use warglaives,it woul be so cool to see panda monk with those

Comment by GreatePier

I don't care what anyone says, my L90 Monk will be farming these babies if only to transmog "current" swords to them

Comment by thiagota

What´s the probability of getting both of them in 2 runs? Cuz I did just that! Check em! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/goldrinn/Thiagota/simple

Comment by wowwowy

Is there any Swords in game right now that player can obtain the either A: has the same color as this/glow
or B: has the same shape or close to the same shape, if you could link it for me that would be awesome, thanks

Comment by Solarscar

IN WC3, ILLIDAN'S GLAIVES HAD PANDA PAWS ON THEM. wiki proves it, The pandaren are originally from central Kalimdor where they established the Pandaren Empire. They were allies of the night elves until they saw their obsession with magic getting out of control.

That was of course before the Sundering occurred , after which they fell into slavery of the Mogu. That also explains why Night Elf and Pandaren structures are quite similar. I hope there will be a Caverns of Time instance for this portion of lore, I would love to experience it.

Comment by LafinJack

Death knights added, monks added, paladins still not on the list. :(

Main Hand Warglaive Dropped for me Grilz on Frostwolf server at 11.24am local time Adelaide Australia. Friday 26th Oct 2012

Comment by Nightrider21

Just got the off hand on my rouge after 5.1 came out, first run too. Wish they'd upgrade these so you could make them useful for current content.

Comment by Monok

RNG.

Between TBC and MoP I can't even count the number of times I ran BT. I'd peg it around 100 clears between a few different characters. I never saw a single glaive.

This week I had both MH/OH drop within 2 days of each other (Sunday and Tuesday) while soloing on the DK.

Comment by 1031618

Dropped 2 weeks on a row for my monk, other one went to trash ofc as was soloing. Sigh. I have 6 weeks of clears with my monk, and DK has 20+ and not even seen one.

Update, 3rd MH glaive now for the monk..

Comment by Shyar

I've been farming BT for the Bulwark of Azzinoth with my warrior for a couple of weeks... after 5 Illidan kills I ended up with a full Warglaive set but the shield didn't drop once o.O

Comment by wowwowy

It took three Illidan kills on my rogue to get this, Using it on my Rogue* twink.

To note I had on all my characters probably 12-13 runs on people who can use the glaives.

Comment by benx2011

I just got this in the first run, but then it cannot be used for xmog. beside sitting in my bank as a trophy, i dont see anything useful. so unless you just want it in your collection. otherwise, dont waste your energy.

Comment by themunge

Cleared BT many times with a group on my mage and never seen either Glaive drop - after 5.1 decided to farm on my DK and main-hand dropped on my 3rd clear - couldn't believe it! :D

3 weekly clears later and the OH dropped. :)

Comment by Mondoblasto

Somewhere in the bowels of Blizzard Headquarters, the Item Development department had a meeting, back in the days of yore (or 2006-2007, if you prefer...)

Blizz Item Developer One: Okay, we've finished Warglaives of Azzinoth, they're one-handed swords that are dual-wielded, with Agi, Stam and Hit Rating, so obviously they're only gonna be for warriors and rogues.

Blizz Item Developer Two: But wait, what about hunters?

Blizz Item Developer One: ...What?

Blizz Item Developer Two: Well, those are excellent stats for hunters. They use Agi, everyone needs Stam, and they're big on Hit Rating. Plus they can dual-wield one-hand swords. They're gonna want to roll on them too, you know.

Blizz Item Developer One: ...Oh, right. Well, we can just class-exclude them, so problem solved.

Blizz Item Developer Two: But what about that new bow that's being worked on? Um, "Thorny Dal", or whatever-it's-called?

Blizz Item Developer One: What about it?

Blizz Item Developer Two: That one's not being class-excluded from all other classes other than hunters...

Blizz Item Developer One: Yeah, so?

Blizz Item Developer Two: Well, warriors and rogues can use ranged weapons too, so they'll be able to roll on the bow if it drops. So that means they can use the swords and the legendary bow at the same time, while hunters can't use swords that are good for them, and their legendary can be used by the two classes that are not excluded from the swords? Someone's going to figure that out eventually...

Blizz Item Developer Three: (to Dev 2) That's a good point. (to Dev 1) He's/She's right, wouldn't that be a tad unfair?

Blizz Item Developer One: Well, sucks to be them. If they want the swords too, they'll just have to re-roll. /shrug

Comment by 1088190

I think I'm lucky or Illidan felt in love with me :)

I decided to get this for my monk, because I always loved the look of this sword set, however I've never had any character that could wear it.

On Tuesday before the weekly reset I went to BT and soloed it and got the off-hand. I thought it will be months until I'll get the main hand sword. Next day after reset I went down again and got a big surprise from Illidan... The main hand warglaive.

2 runs and got both. I think I could be luckier only if both drop on first run.

I hope you who still farming this or willing to farm it have the same luck as I had.

Comment by expectwar

Last week the off-hand dropped and I didn't win the roll, now this week main-hand dropped and I won it! If only I won the off-hand last week too... :,(

Comment by WallyWest

For transmog purposes can you simply get one of them and apply it to two one hand weapons?

Or do you still need to get both the MH and OH drops?

*edit* nvm, can't transmog them. Lame.

Comment by 865303

got offhand back in The Burning Crusade and saw 10 offhands drop before i finally got my mainhand on my 120th kill :)
i had almost lost all hope.

Comment by bujimot2

i have off hand why i cant transmog ?

Comment by frank3ntank

I just got mine today after 36 kills, the first kill I ever had of Illidan was in cata, random group and I won the offhand almost 2 years go. Quit for a while and came back, in the process of trying to get the main hand I saw one other off hand drop but I finally got my set completed today.

Comment by Oreilytheinsane

At last after total of 41 Illidan Kills in my stat achievments til i finally got the offhand and got the Feats of Strenght Achievment

3 Mainhand Glaives Dropped before i ever saw the offhand for the first time

Never doing black temple as rogue again! ;)

Comment by raffenblackmane

My monk hit 90 a week or so ago, paid someone to clear it for me, to get the zergling staff, and the mh dropped lol, then now that ive got some gear, i soloed again the next week and got the offhand! i don't know if they upped the drop rate, but this was awesome lol. Haikufu on malganis horde.

Comment by ZelekQQ

I got mine 30 mins ago, after 5 kills - lucky like never before.

Comment by 319936

Hearthstone:

Comment by Anok8

Took me 41 runs to obtain them both. (2 Main hands dropped while I farmed and one Off hand)

Comment by LasVegas

I gotta post here to be honest. Perhaps it'll increase my ''luck'' even more.

Heres the story. DK has MH glaive, warrior has OH glaive. Since they obtained both of these glaives, my DK has seen 2 more MHs in 35 runs and my warrior has seen 5 more OH glaives in 24 runs.

So here I am, a guy with 9 Warglaive drops and still no FoS.

This reset I got both Glaives to drop again, but of course, the wrong ones, on both characters.

I even made a ticket about it, explaining my story to the GM. Sadly, all he could say was that RNG is in fact RNG. I guess he's right, but sometimes RNG can be a proper @#$%ing %^&*!. Warglaive and Fiery Warhorse Reins (over 500 tries), oh how I loathe thee.

Comment by Kinpo

Man, Last Wednesday I got my Off Hand, The Swift White Hawkstrider dropped from Kael'Thas the day before so since It had a slightly lower Drop rate than the Warglaive, I had a good feeling that my Warglaive would finally drop and It did, Just waiting til this Wednesday...Time to run for the second one :D

Comment by 1143642

I saw a level 90 rogue have the set and they actually had level 90 stats... Did he hack it? or is their a way to change the stats?

Comment by Luvetospooge

MH just dropped for me :-) 1st run never been in BT before. Guess id better keep going back for the other ! Looks well cool.

Comment by 750248

Haza, 27 runs and my 70 rogue got the MH had the OH from run one but been so long getting this one. Been solo everything with my war and bring in rogue just for illidan. I give the best of luck to everyone still farming just remember it will never drop unless you go and farm it.

can legendaries transmforfed from so an item look like legendary or not?pls help!

Comment by Jerodast

The most important question about these weapons: What's the best position to show them off? Naturally when I'm in cities @#$%ing around with my interface or waiting on a queue, I like to pull these out. They look a little silly crossed on your back, so I unsheathe them. Still, there's a bit of a lack of...energy, of verve, with them just hanging limply at the ends of your arms. What I really want is to do the classic Demon Hunter crouch with them, one held in front and the other at my side. As a rogue, I can actually accomplish this by going into stealth, but then nobody can see how awesome I am! Is there any other way to strike such a pose?

Comment by Chrii

Imo all legendarys should work like a heirloom 1-90, since its so hard to obtain, with exception of cloak. Maybe that one unlocks after WOD launches so it can be sent to other toons.

Legendary cloak
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
Warglaive of Azzinoth & Warglaive of Azzinoth
Shadowmourne
Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury
Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings

Discuss, what do you think?

I think it would be awsome to be able to use my Thunderfury 1-90(100)

does it differ if the spec was blood or unholy to take this weapon?

Comment by 1328309

Strange fact:After 6.0.2,pre-WoD,my rogue named ''Berkeakay'' on Sylvanas EU server,dropped the main hand glaive in my 3rd try.After equipping the main hand,I noticed that my damage was increased to 1.7k from 1.5k(I was equipping two Hellscream's Razor,one is heroic and one is normal).After i tried my dps on the dummies:13k max dps with the Glaive on,7k with both daggers equipped and i was Sub spec.I really dont know the exact reason of this but it probably has to do something with the stat squish.

Comment by Pernicious

While I completely agree that this item should be prioritized by the classes listed above. I would absolutely love to see these equipped when my Demonology Warlock switches to Demon Form.

Comment by Alcinda

Anyone else have a problem with the Warglaive(s) being backwards while sheathed? I just have the mainhand, but.. it's weird.

Comment by burn3r1

'Cannot transmogrify'

Useless item, I don't care if it looks good if you can't transmog it.

Comment by GuiArashiro

I think I'm going insane right now. Some time ago, the Main Hand dropped and in the next week it dropped again. I was pissed but thought that the Off Hand would drop sooner or later. Well, I just killed Illidan again and guess what? THE GODDANM MAIN HAND DROPPED AGAIN. Someone please help me, I'm going to explode any second now because of anger.

Comment by biggaz69

Not sure if the drop rate has increased on these but I've dropped them almost every week for the last couple of months, even brought a friend who needed them on his twink and they dropped. Just wish you could mog them :(

Comment by Gormadok

Unfortunately, having one main hand doesnt prevent you to obtain second main hand instead of offhand. farm saga continues.

Comment by Hannibal08

55 Illidan kills according to my armory and still yet to see a main hand drop. More than a year's worth of solid raiding there. Well beyond that raid's actual life cycle in game. Bad luck I guess. Three off hands have dropped in that time though, two of which just rotted on the corpse.

Comment by Nvrmd

Well, I´m still looking to complete my first set of warglaives after month/years of killing good old Illidan.

My warrior has one, my dk has one and my monk has one and I will probably run bt until they all have their set but for the time being just one set for the feat of strength would be more then enough.

Until then my 3 chars have to settle for dual wielding their one glaive with thunderfury which is just slightly worse.

Comment by 1504073

So, here I am on my 50th run on my level 70 rogue and I have never even seen either of the glaives ever drop. I wonder if anyone here can beat that..

Comment by Kliamovich

Comment by Roa92

On the alpha build it seems Demon Hunters have been added as classes that are able to equip them

So get ready to see some Warglaives of Azzinoth wielding Demon Hunters in Legion

Comment by Jaydeetoo

It's known that you can equip them and fight with them whilst going through Timewalking dungeons, and I believe that they increase the damage you deal in such a dungeon as scaled down they are still legendary.

After 16 months of farming I can finally go through the Timewalking dungeons with both warglaives now equipped.

Keep at it, because who knows if they will still available after the next expansion.

Comment by Havran228

right now... I got 3rd drop of off hand in 3rd week... I feel bad... #1 I cannot weild it as warlock... #2 even I cannot weild it I want main hand.. #3 why I have 3 drops in 3 weeks if others farm it for years with no luck?

Comment by Renti

Blizzard needs to change these from sword to warglaive in legion

Comment by mosstone

These really should give attack power instead of agility, so that they are of some use to Death Knights and Warriors, who the very things say that they are meant for as well as the agility-lings.

Also, why are they such low resolution in comparison with the other Black Temple items? Mine looks stupid next to the Shard of Azzinoth, which belongs to the concept and is only two bosses apart. Is it to tantalize people that only have one, because you cannot find another one handed weapon with as low resolution as the glaive you have?

Comment by Nessacity

Still drops. Saw the Offhand drop for the second time today. The farm carries on.

Comment by LoKHor

My first Illidan kill with my Paladin I got this. Then I realised that even though it is classified as a sword it is locked to other melee classes! I can't learn the transmog. :(

Comment by Krikken

I have not seen many comments about this but,
demon hunters + warglaives + Burning Crusade Time-walking dungeons = fun times. Can't wait!
Now if only they would update its texture, but not change it. That would be even more epic.

P.S. I hope this halloween we get an exquisite costume of Illidan Stormrage, like we have for Arthas {Lich King} and Neltharion {Deathwing} Just some wishful thinking.

Comment by nlouty

Can we still get it after 7.0.3 ?

Comment by Gari22

Did Black Temple last night just before reset, and the main hand dropped. Did it again today, and the off-hand dropped. So I can confirm they both still drop after 7.0.3 (Though I don't know why anyone would really think they wouldn't). Also, I either got very lucky, or it's possible the drop rate was increased.

Comment by nakavt

Got it with my demon hunter today :)

http://i.imgur.com/GDGcbNs.jpg

Comment by Creditmoney

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Demon Hunters are even able to go kill their Lord?
Edit: Now with the timewalking version of the Black Temple, the excuse appears to be that we went there to fix a time disturbance... so lets just pretend it's the same reason when we do the instance on regular mode. :D

Comment by aakroma

Can the Glaives be added to the wardrobe by a DK?

Comment by Deastrumquodvici

Sadly, this does not get added to appearances tab, not as a sword or as a glaive. Which, unfortunately, means that you can't mog your fancy shmancy artifact weapons to look like this beauty.

Comment by Khanez

I just got this on my demohunter i cant belive it! 2 weeks of doing Black Temple and i got them.

Comment by JonnyNRG

Well, today was a bit lucky.

I was on my dh, finishing the invasions and got bored
So I ran through ICC for the first time on my dh to try my luck for invincible. Somehow I got it, and that made my day better instantly.
A few hours later of being bored in SW I wondered if dh's could wield the warglaives (If they couldn't then wtf) and someone told me they could. So obviously I went down to Black Temple to test my luck even more today and I got this, the main hand. Bear in mind it was my first try on my dh in ICC and BT in which I got both of these, when I've been trying to get them for years.
Just baffles me that this can happen, anyway you guys might not care but I'm just happy that it happened.

Comment by Therev71

Holy smokes! I was so happy! I did Black temple on my DH for the first time and Warglaives dropped!

I hearthed back to org to transmog it to my main hand and lo and behold......

it cant be transmogged.

Sad Demon Hunter.

Are people other than DH's getting these babies to drop? I did BT, in back to back weeks and got both the main and offhand to drop as a DH. I can't remember the spec I was in the first week I got the main hand to drop, but the second week I was a Vengence Dh with the artifact weapons and got the offhand to drop.

The only warglaive classified as a sword.

Comment by Starbuxx

This just dropped for me on my mage.. even if i cant use it i screamed in joy.. never had a legendary drop in a raid.. my wife was unimpressed.. :P

Comment by Machista

Dropped on my Priest after 2-3 runs while grinding Rep
Saving it anyway, maybe one day Priests will be able to equip Swords.

P.s Best method is to run with a DH and skip with the stairs, make it so much faster...
youtube has some examples.

Edit: Got both on my DH, the right hand dropped after 2 tries i think, the left hand took about 7-8 runs...(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Thulm##DELIM##

Comment by windygamer

This weapon says "Unique" and has a bonus for equipping two of them. Huh?
How do you equip 2 of a "Unique" weapon?

Comment by Extremity

Demon Hunters can now equip these, thankfully!

A new transmog item "set" token is being added in patch 7.2.5, unlocking this weapon transmog appearance for Demon Hunters.

A completed set of the original warglaives (and the achievement granted by wielding it) will be required to obtain this transmog item set; once you've unlocked said achievement, your next Illidan kill during the timewalking event (not original Illidan, only the timewalking version) will have a 100% to grant the item set appearance if done on your Demon Hunter. Better get to farming out a glaive set if you haven't already!

Comment by tejabollempalli1

As of patch 7.2.5 only Demon hunters can transmog them. you need to kill Illidan weilding both your Main hand and Off hand warglaives, which will unlock the achievement to xmog them. good luck farming.

Comment by hevgirl

Keep farming Warglaives of Azzinoth on any character, so your Demon Hunter unlocks the Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth transmog when any character clears Timewalking Black Temple.

Comment by Stolten2

Do you get the achievement if you have the main-hand on one character and the off-hand on another character?

Comment by zeegora

Now my Glaivies can be Transmorged, they seem unhappy and point down when on my back.... I look like a Luna Moth now...

Im a Belf Female if that matters....

Comment by Sarlyssia

I have the one for the off hand on now THREE chars but the main hand one refuses to drop ...

Comment by Vort

I must be incredibly unlucky. Nearing 40 kills and still no MH Glaive... Really discouraging to see some people getting them within 2 weeks.

Edit: 2019. Still no MH Glaive.

Edit2: 2020 I finally got the glaive 2 days ago. One of my friends got it too on the same day so droprate may have increased or just luck. (if you call not getting it since BC "lucky")

Comment by Tuts

Am I doing something wrong here? cause its the 5th time i got this main hand but no off hand yet

Comment by Undertaker807

I don't know if it made a difference to the loot tables, but I went to the Black Temple with the off-hand Warglaive of Azzinoth in my bag. Looted this main hand off Illidan at 23:10 Pacific time. Still a shame we can't transmog these classic legendaries.

Comment by Rudy199

Is it possible that he drops both of them at the same time?

Comment by ayasato69

tfw u get it on the wrong class.. my paladin has it in bank since maybe 6 months i just can't throw them away

Comment by Ilaya

Demon hunters can transmog them, but you need an achievement Warglaives of Azzinoth first and then complete achievement I'll Hold These For You Until You Get Out.

Comment by Scrogdor

Took my farming alliance night elf in here for the first time ever, looking for leather working patterns, and I got the main hand. Still dropping strong it looks like.

Comment by mclarenz

After many runs, I finally got both glaives.........on my paladin.

Comment by Patr0clus

After 55 attempts, I have never once seen a warglaive drop. Anyone upset that they keep getting the same warglaive over and over again, while I understand your frustrations please know that I envy you nonetheless. Farming for things like this makes one wish blizzard implemented a fail-safe system as they did for legion legendaries. Better luck to us all next tuesday :)

Comment by Zeldeza

I've had the off-hand glaive drop 4 times so far. I've yet to even see the main hand. I'm currently 2 months without a glaive drop? This is horrible.

Comment by drummer4christ

Got the second one today. Got off hand the week before. Just lucky or drop rate increased I dont now.

Comment by mqtran204

Can confirm that both the main-hand and off-hand can drop simultaneously in 1 run. Just happened to me on my warrior after 2 months of farming. Almost fell off my chair since I didn’t even think it was possible.

Comment by ssdisfaster

In 8.3 you still cannot transmog directly into those glaives, but you obviously still can on your demon hunter if you get the second achievement.

Comment by RickyTack

Defeinitly a hunter weapon

Comment by Snacksrammus

For those wondering about how long it takes to get both, it took me around 45 odd something runs. I'd say one will drop around every 25 runs or so, but it could be as little as twenty.

Eight months of waiting to get mine. Definitely worth it, by far the best DH transmog weapon. Good luck to those still farming it!

Comment by papayaman

First time doing Black Temple. I decided to do a Mog run and it dropped the first time. I ran it with another toon and the other glaive dropped.... is this a glitch or was i just lucky?

Comment by soulja4lyfe

So today I finally received my main hand side of the set and did not get the achievement for obtaining them. In order to get the Warglaives of Azzinoth achievement you MUST equip the set to get the the achievement to be credited.

Comment by Laxxboy

so APPARENTLY even tho I can equip it as a Warrior, it doesn't save to my transmog unless i'm Monk/Rogue/DH? NOT EPICO

Comment by Izaria

Do you need to get both and then do bt timewalking still to use mog?

Comment by NeSquiK

For me its just not fair that legendaries can be transmogged now but apparently those 2 are for DH players only.... A class that didn't even exist back then..

Comment by SuperGotenks

The Off Hand dropped for me on my Rogue this morning at 9:05 AM EST. w00t :) Now my set is done. It sucks that I still need BT Timewalking though.

Comment by Rusted

So my Atlas Loot says they drop in 25man, I set my legacy raid size to 25 player and enter the Black Temple Raid, and it's showing that I'm in a 10m raid. Is that legit for farming the Warglaives?

Comment by Revanite

With tbc classic coming out(eventually), all I can say is...

Looks like a hunter weapon to me

Comment by Kaerfemagsh

can both of these drop at once, or does it have to be at least 2 seperate runs thru bt to get these?

Comment by Gremstein

If you equip these on, say a rogue, will they used the same 'ready' and combat animations as a DH would, or do they just act like normal swords in terms of that?

Comment by Kwahu

Honestly, should just be enough to get these and not need the timewalking BT achievement to use them for transmog.

Comment by Robinbanks

From beginning to end, took me about 10 months to complete the mog. I spent a few weeks farming for the warglaves and very lucky received the set on my frost death knight. Since I just missed the BC timewalking, I had to wait another nine months for this to return. Finally found a solid group after joining five or so that just fell apart after a few pulls. It's frustrating to have this mog locked behind a raid achievement but it's a good long term project to aim for. Best of luck to those who are farming!

Comment by Ramtac

I'm convinced Blizz removed these. I have been paying since TBC and I have never seen them drop.

I run this on 5 toons every week and NOTHING

Comment by TaibhseMacTire

Had one drop for my Evoker whilst I was trying to get Mail mog items. Welp thats one bank space gone.

Wishing ya'll who are still farming the set the best of luck!

Comment by Kalnov04

Out farming odds and ends, had the Warglaive of Azzinoth drop today on my ele sham. I have been in here on all sorts of different classes, this may be the first time I have seen this drop.
