Well good to have covenant based weapons but how will the transmog work? I like to collect as much appearance as possible but covenants might prevent you from using the weapon skin you want unless you pick them...especially for alts etc.
Really not impressed with most of these designs. Offhand harp is pretty cool though.
This was kind of obvious, at least to me, that it was going to be this way when the weapon tokens were first added/discovered on the beta and the Ardenweld raid items were datamined.You turn the tokens into your covenant, so it follows that the weapons you get would have looks tied to said covenant.What is interesting is that only 2 model tints are used so-far, out of the 6 I believe there are for each model (at least according to the ardenweld datamine article). Could we possibly have the same model weapons for each raid tier but just 2 tints per tier this time around. ex: 9.0 raid (Castle Nath) = tint 1 and 2, 9.1 raid = tint 3 and 4, 9.2 raid = tint 5 and 6. That would be a bit disappointing imo. Hopefully the LFR/Normal/Heroic tints are just not implemented properly yet seeing as the Kyrian weapons do not appear to be either.
Man...it's going to take years getting the transmogs from this expansion.It would be really nice if unlocking one unlocked the appearances of the other Covenants (even if you can't use them on that character) like it does when you get a Horde/Alliance PvP item.
MYTHIC=PURPLE GOT IT!
I hate, so much, not getting appropriately themed raid weapons.Ah, and only 2 tints per four difficulties. Genius.
Will love getting my full Revendreth set and then having nothing to match it. Well done Blizzard, very cool!
Honestly, i'm still probably gonna use most of my artifact weapon appearances anyways.
I could be wrong here, but with this being the opening raid, these covenant specific models are probably a way to let us match our armor, obviously you could use questing gear or dungeon gear, but these look more elaborate, i wouldnt be surprised if the raid after would have weapons modeled for the raid
So we're gonna get weapons that match our covenant armor, not our raid set, unless you go Venthyr? That really blows, especially since our covenant sets are all time gated with weekly renown levels. And where do the rest of us get weapon skins to match our raid gear?
Oh no, change.I don't like change.
This is probably one of the smartest moves they've made. There will be those complaining that you can't get said appearance but I mean, you can! You just need to play all 4 covenants and really, who wouldnt want to try each one?
Well that quashes the Ardenweald raid rumours for the time being.
