Dwarven GWF should use Great Axe's!

Playing a Dwarven GWF is fun, but they really are not suitable for 2handed sword, both from a physical point of view and a in-game visual point of view.
For start length of weapon is taller than the dwarf, the when stood still weapon is clipping both through the ground, while at same time slicing his own leg off.
Secondly, its Dwarven tradition to favor Axes over swords.
Suggestion is to keep the same loot types, but maybe generalise the wepons names, and use different models on dwarves and halflings, to something more fitting for there size that wont clip the models so horrifically

Yup, there's nothing stopping you from using an axe (though they are more rare). My halfling GWF uses an axe.
like what ? show SS PLZ ! never found AXE beside Ice Axe / Axe from AD Vendor / Bar Merchant seen only 3 axes in game so far. ( well 2 never seen this axe for bars apperence )
While this statement is correct, you are leaving out a major point: you need to buy a new one EVERY time you get a new weapon, because changing the look of a weapon destroys the one whose look you are taking. Add to that the fact that it costs quite a bit of AD to do the change, and you see why it just isn't feasible for anyone still leveling to start trying to change the look of a weapon. Or any other piece of gear for that matter.
AMEN to that. I also want to have an option to auto attack a giant-goblin-orc when my dwarf comes across one. A dwarf comes across a giant?He just charges blindly yelling threats.I'm not even joking
This exactly, tho i wasnt even aware they was axes, which goes to show how rare they are
That's actually funny, but clearly needs to be a role-playing function, not an in game function. I'm hoping they set up a RP server, or set aside shards for RP, or something like that, but somehow, I doubt it.
According to a friend who played around with it, you don't need to buy a new axe every time. You can keep dropping your current weapon into the new weapon you plan to equip and all the transmutions you have on the current weapon will carry over into the new one. I haven't tested it personally though and you will still need to pay the AD cost.
Haha ofcourse man . I was partly joking but that would be cool as an RP function indeed. As an in game it would not be viable. Imagine every dwarf charging a bunch of hulks in Spellplague hahaha
I'm not sure how that is possible, if you pick an item in your inventory, it will not allow you to change it to an item you have equipped.
Edit: I just confirmed it in game, your friend has been telling fibs. You cannot change an unbound item into the look of a bound item, it is not even an option. Changing a bound item into the look of an unbound item does indeed use up the unbound item. And costs a hefty amount of AD while doing it, 20,000 AD for items around lvl 50.
Would a weapon/armor skin lock been too much ask (ofcourse it would)? The way you lock 1 skin and it stays on when ever you change to new gear.
And i bet someone is going to say that earning ADs is easy. And changing weapon looks every level isn't that big of a problem.
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

No: If you change item A to look like item B, then item B goes away forever.
I'm not saying you change an unbound item into the look of a bound item. I'm saying you can apply item A to item B to look like item A and then later you find item C, you can use item B to make item C look like item A. So you don't need to buy a new axe every time you get a new weapon and you want it to look like the previous weapon you have which you already transmuted.
Correct, but what he's saying is that you can now use item "A"(with it's shiny new skin) to re-skin your next weapon and it'll be the same skin, not the original that item A had.
For example, on my GF, my Lizardwhatever Scimitar is reskinned with the Duergar Hammer(yeah, I'm a dwarf too). When I get an upgrade, I'm expecting to use my reskinned Lizardwhatever Scimitar to put the Duergar Hammer skin on my next weapon.
It is a shameless, incredibly punitive cash grab, though. The reskin of a weapon of this level cost me 63k(68k? I forget) AD. At this mornings exchange rate, that's around 200 zen worth of diamonds.
Edit: I just confirmed it, you cannot reskin using an item that is bound. You can't use it to reskin either an unbound or bound item. There are two options for skinning: You can take a bound item and use an unbound item to reskin it; or you can take an unbound item, and use an unbound item to reskin it. Either way, you have to have an unbound item B, which will go away when you use it for reskinning.
try it out with some level 5 stuff if you do not believe me. Low level reskins are cheap anyway. Level 60 reskin costs around 60k AD IIRC.
Ummm yea you can.... I have been doing this with Armour for a while now. Once you apply a skin using Transmutation that skin and any dyes used on it can carry over to your new armour if you transmute and put said armour in the slot. It still costs AD to do it but it does work. So don't really know where you are getting your info from.
I just tried it, the bound item does not appear in the list of things you would like to change it to.
I get my info from trying it less than a minute ago. When I try and reskin a bound item, none of my other bound items show up in the list of things I want to change it to look like.
Edit: nevermind, I lied. I realized there was another possibility for behavior I had not accounted for, (it's early and I have not finished my coffee, sue me) if you have two items in your BAG, you cannot rekin a bound item with another bound item, if you are wearing it, it looks like you CAN reskin a bound item with another bound item. That is rather strange behavior, but I just tried it and it appears to work. Sorry for the confusion.
Stuff ur axes >:C

Drag and drop my man, drag and drop. If you've been using the change appearance list, you've been handicapping your options :P
