New Player Race Themed Weapon Models - Troll and Lightforged Draenei Swords
We've datamined two more unique weapon models on the Dragonflight Patch 10.1 PTR! Both themed around playable races, Trolls and Lightforged Draenei are each represented in these new two-handed swords. Similar to the other Class Specific Weapons we highlighted previously, these could be intended to fill in some of the missing specializations.
While thematically very different from Ashbringer, the Lightforged Draenei do have a heavy association with Paladins. As we've discovered one weapon per specialization for most classes so far, some of them looking very reminiscent of previous Artifact weapons, the prevailing theory is that these could be new Mage Tower rewards.
Whether or not that happens to be the case, nothing has been found yet for Retribution Paladins or Arms Warriors, which these two new models could fit nicely. A Troll themed sword would be an intriguing twist for Arms Warriors, as an inverse of Stromkar, which had a much darker association with Trolls.
That said, this is still just speculation. Although we already saw some race associated models with the Worgen themed sword and shield for Warriors, each of the previously datamined items had file names which referred to their class, such as Axe_2h_DeathKnight, these weapons only refer to their associated race — without the class tag.
