Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
I'm just boggled by the fact that several folks in my guild are working on their legendary staff at the moment that, come 5.0, they technically won't be able to use at all. Would they even be able to go back and obtain it should they choose to try and farm it the way other folks have farmed shadowmourne?
I may have read too far into the information given; it is likely that wands are an option as MH weapons and not the only MH option. Sorry for any panic I may have caused!

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
from here.Regarding hunters; you are eliminating the use for melee weapons, are we still going to be able to equip it? Can we also get some mace love?
There are not any plans for that now, we are probably not going to let you equip melee. If it makes you feel better, the rogues wont be able to equip the orange legendary bow either. We do want to change hunters so you can see quivers and or ammo pouches, potentially customize them, etc.

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
Actually that does make me feel a lot better. I was mad that Rogues got our bows back then, and I'm glad they can't now. And I welcome the more Hunter-centric quiver/ammo pouches customization ideas too.
But still glad Rogues won't have the bow anymore. lol

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
Or, they could add an option that let's people convert armor, weapons, and other misc. stuff into "trophies". While in trophy form, the item becomes usable by anyone, but it has no armor or ability stats on it. Hell, Blizzard could make this another type of "gold sink" like transmogging will be.peanutbuttercup wrote:Okay, now that we know they don't want us to use them at all, I can go to the forums and officially suggest that they reconsider. I liked the earlier suggestions of letting us equip melee in lieu of a ranged weapon while out of combat for aesthetic or RP reasons.
On a side note, in anyone else wondering if taking away melee weapons from us is going to have an impact on us being able to equip fishing poles? I know they don't have any weapon flags attached to them, but I still wonder if taking melee weapons away from Hunters will cause problems somehow.

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
I love your suggestion too Sigrah, and I also wonder about the fishing poles, though I wager they'll get that fixed during PTR if it comes up as an issue.
Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
And as for my Warlock main, I am thrilled that a wand will now be my main weapon! It's about time. I can see the reasoning for staves being equipped by casters but wands are just so much cooler. Now they'll be what we fight with rather than just a stat stick that you can't even see!
The only glitch is how they're goona work around the legendary that a lot of casters just got. Will we be able to still use it as a mount at least?? I can't imagine they would take that away. I'm still like a month away from my legendary (i switched guilds mid patch) but will definitely be able to use it for 4.3.

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
When LFR hits, we will have rogues and warriors rolling on our ranged weapons. In MoP, at least that will be prevented.

Re: Melee, Ranged, and Wands come Mists of Pandara
I, for one, would be utterly giddy if we could instead see our ranged weapons, and if they let us see quivers and ammo pouches. /nerdgasm And zomg, can you imagine if they also did something like make dual-wielding pistol-like guns? Like how there are 2H and 1H melee weapons, make things like bows and xbows and the big rifles 2H, and make some smaller 1H ones too that you could dual-wield. I realize that's probably just dreaming, but it'd still be cool. Let me have my moment of fantasizing, lol.
Like I said, I realize I'm in the minority.
