wow Blizzard's Official Response to Transmog Flexibility with Legion Artifacts in Shadowlands

[Stan 4,722]

In the latest Shadowlands Beta update, Blizzard relaxed transmog restrictions on Legion Artifacts, so now, players can use the appearances for transmog regardless of their specialization. You can also use main-hand and off-hand Artifact appearances independently or dual-wield the same weapons!

With this week’s update to the Shadowlands Beta, players will have new options and availability for transmogrification of their Legion Artifacts.

Now, Legion Artifact appearances for all specs of your class are now available in their respective weapon categories. For example, Doomhammer will be found in “One-handed maces”.

The new Artifact appearances obey the usual transmogrification rules. For example, you can use the Ashbringer appearance on your two-handed mace, but not on a one-hand shield. Main-hand and off-hand Artifact appearances are granted independently in these tabs, so you can use Oathseeker appearances independently from Truthguard ones.

Now, a long as you possess the required proficiencies, there are no restrictions on duplicate appearances, and there are no restrictions on which hand they can be used in. For example, you can dual-wield Doomhammers or even Fury of the Stonemothers.

The existing transmogrification system for Legion Artifacts is entirely retained – the “Artifact Pair” tab still contains your spec-specific appearances, and you can still use the special rules allowing you to apply them over most other weapon types and combinations.

We look forward to hearing what you think of it after you’ve tried it out!

Not sure why this wasn't a thing in BFA. Being stuck using a lame shield to have my cool claws, as Ele Sham, was terrible and I could have the claw with a different shield just fine in Legion. Oh well! Two years too late, but finally happening.

so this will come just with shadowlands, and not the pre patch? ?

No most likely with pre patch. Anything that isn't "in the shadowlands" content, such as covenents, soulbinds etc, will be in pre patch, (technically it'll all be there we just won't be able to get there yet ? )
