New Female Dwarf Model on Warlords of Draenor Site
We've seen images of the new Female Dwarf model already at BlizzCon, but a 3D version was just added to the official
Warlords of Draenor page
.
We’ve updated the model viewer on our website with a look at one of the revised characters you’ll see in Azeroth and beyond with Warlords of Draenor. Meet the new and improved female Dwarf.
It was a challenge for our character artists to find a balance between the classic female dwarf model and the expressiveness of her fluid new animations, but we think the updated model says “descended from unyielding stone” as much as “griffon-riding, ale-swilling, loud-living hero.”

5.2 Transmog Weapon Changes, Gallery of Main Hand Weapons Changing to One-Hand
Many huge changes are coming to Transmogrification in 5.2! Besides the addition of
troll-themed greens resembling unobtainable gear from original Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman
, there are a number of weapon changes.
Transmog restrictions have been loosened on several weapon types:
Two-handed axes, maces, and swords can be Transmogrified to each other.
One-handed axes, maces, and swords can be Transmogrified to each other.
Staves and polearms can be transmogrified to each other.
Class restrictions still apply though--you must be able to equip an item in order to use it for transmog.
In addition, many weapons that were Main Hand only are now classified as One-Hand. Previously, Main Hand weapons could not be transmogged onto One Hand weapons. This frees up even more flexibility, as a sword formerly classified as Main Hand only, such as
Runesword of the Red
, can now not only be transmogged onto any other One Hand sword, but also onto any mace or axe (if your character can equip them normally) in 5.2!

5.2 Crafted Vanity Items: Lightning-Forged Weapons, Engineering Pet
Patch 5.2 has a lot of serious raid content, but there's also some vanity items being added to professions. Blacksmiths get to craft replica versions of all those distinctive (and sadly removed) Burning Crusade weapons!
Blacksmithing: Lightning Forged Weapons
If you always wanted to craft iconic Blacksmithing weapons like
Stormherald
or
Drakefist Hammer
but didn't learn the plans prior to Cataclysm, it looks like you'll be able to create replica weapons in Patch 5.2 like
Fireguard, Reborn

In the last PTR build, we datamined
new blacksmithing plans
that were named after distinctive weapons from the Burning Crusade. These BoP weapons were only craftable by Weaponsmiths, and when specializations were removed in Cataclysm, players were no longer able to learn these plans. In addition, players couldn't learn all the weapons in Burning Crusade even if they were Weaponsmiths because there were further weapon subsets, such as Master Hammersmith.
