Some of these weapons BLOW my mind with how gorgeous they are, yet I feel others have been gipped a bit. Having said that, I'm sure once we see the weapons in the flesh so to speak, there will be a lot more impact. I'm very excited with anticipation!

I think I like the DK version of Frostmourne most. Really awesome design. Shame I don't play DK. :-) But I have to say I find the protection warrior one not very interesting - shame considering that protection warrior is my main. :-D But I am sure all the artifact weapons will be awesome when they come live. I just somehow hoped for the most legendary weapons like Thunderfury or the twinblades of Azzinoth. I think they even made the poll for it if I am not mistaken? I remember so much people choosing Thunderfury and Azzinoth blades.

I'm very excited about the Artifact system! I hope they do something with the Shadow Priest dagger though, I like the idea but between Shadowform and enchant glows, daggers are hardly visible at all :(

What is the off-hand for ench shamans?
It seems it can be whatever you want. The artifact will only take your Main Hand slot.

I am so ridiculously overwhelmed with all the Blizzcon news and I love it.
Like seeing all the artifacts! I knew we would see more, and I figured it would probably be several more, but all of them was unexpected. Good unexpected though! Very fair, made sure no one was left out. Also makes me optimistic that September is a -very- safe final deadline, and we might not be looking at quite so long a wait. We'll see, though.

Melee Hunters are in my opinion the most hype-worthy announcement for this Expansion yet.
(Mainly because I play a hunter myself and think it's super cool to go melee and equip a spear again after 3 years.)
The designs look really great, and I hope that most people feel the same about this.
I can sure understand that people would prefer to choose between using a gun or a bow, though, rather than what spec the artifact weapons belong to.
The game developers say their main interest for this expansion lies in enhancing class/race-identity, but part of developing your character's identity as a whole is to be able to make decisions of your own.
I believe there's a chance that some "master marksmen" out there would rather see themselves using a highly technological gun for perfect accuracy, and the many "beast masters" lurking the woods would perhaps prefer the elegance of a bow.
I'm not suggesting they should just swap the specs/weapons, but rather make it the player's choice instead.
Then again, I'm not a game developer, but these are just some of my thoughts.

Also:
Another difficulty was Shaman. Doomhammer was difficult because it didn't feel right seeing two Doomhammers (as dual wield). A solution was to make one a magical magma hunter to avoid breaking fantasy and make it seem like we're just giving Doomhammers away.
needs to be more prominent somewhere! I saw the visuals and saw someone say something similar in the official blog comments, but I still wondered/doubted. Glad to see it decided we will stay dual wield c:
And I wonder if Thrall will teach us, or if I will get to have a massive smile on my face as my Shaman respectfully accepts Doomhammer only to go 'Hmm, this thing is sweet, guess I'll have two *fwoosh*'.
Thrall better have a *oh sh-- he budged the hammer* look, barring him being dead that is (which I hope not, personally, even with slightly less than devotion to green Jesus).

Also since BM is the only one keeping a pet at range, I really was sad to see a gun. I figured it would have to happen, to appease the love of both, but since one spec is tied to one artifact it would have felt better, to me, to have one form be the other. The crossbow form of the MM bow is close to this.
C'mon, crazy transformer gun that wooshes out into a bow? Bad A.
Yes T-Mog and all (guess I should go farm Thordal now) but that gives up 'your' artifact.

Fury warrior is wrong, blizz devs said in Q&A the weapon is 2 x 2H swords and eh models are the wrong size and will be resized.
