Ghostcrawler - Please confirm on SHADOWMOURNE

#0 - Aug. 24, 2009, 3:53 p.m.

Hey Ghostcrawler,

There has been much debate over the last couple days about Shadowmourne. In various places it has been stated that this weapon is for Death Knights and Hunters only. Is this the truth, or can Warriors and Ret Paladins wield this legendary 2H axe as well?

Thanks for your time,

Anyone capable of using a two-handed axe can use Shadowmourne.

The stat allocation may not benefit hunters or shamans as much as warriors, DKs or paladins.

Q u o t e:
So if it was not going to be a DK/ Hunter weapon why did you say it was going to be?

There was a slide that said "Behold Shadowmourne."
This was followed by a slide of an orc DK holding said axe.
This was followed by a parenthetical that popped up a moment later that said "hunter weapon, obviously."
The crowd laughed.

I'm sorry if that did not translate well for our viewers at home. :)
