I know wowhead has a viewer for transmog armor, but is there anywhere to view the various weapon skins in the game (ideally sorted by weapon type and main-hand/one-hand/off-hand)

I think I kept my avenger for my lock in the bank, could be a neat thing to use. Ony other gear I saved for him was the plague outfit. Rest I ditched long ago when space was more of a premium.

Would like to get fulll judgment for the pally, haven't really looked at stuff for any others.

I considered using Tier 2 (BWL) on my Paladin, but I actually went with Tier 10 (ICC). Although, I'm missing the proper belt, but I found that I can buy one with Justice Points (~600). Kind of a waste of points, but damnit... I like lookin' good! :cool: I kind of want to get the Bulwark of Azzinoth from Illidan as it's an awesomely/ridiculously large shield.


As for my Warlock, I really like Tier 10 for them, but Tier 6 is cool too (without the helm -- half-face helms look so goofy).

I was looking for something like that, but I couldn't find anything. The worst part is that it's really hard to find a cool looking mace, and tanking weapons seem to always be maces! :|

I had like 3 maces ready to go to transmog my brewfest tankard of terror, but I didn't realize that they're all main-hand (and thus unusable, because ToT is one-hand)

Heh, I remember Anubis giving you crap for blocking out your names before. ;)

I don't know.... I don't really like Gutbuster either. What I kind of want is something ridonkulously large... kind of like the new 2H mace from the new dungeons.

I considered using the Saronite set, but I guess I liked how the original set makes me look a lot like the adepts and stuff you see. It is certainly bland, but that's also why I use such a simple sword like the Argent Avenger.

for maces is go with Sand polished hammer/Blessed Qiraji War Hammer or The Castigator

assuming the graphics still exist The Castigator was a orig Naxx wep so it may have been removed

end of dreams is also pretty sweet

I'm really tempted to get the non-class-specific T2 druid reskin for my rogue :D

could you imagine this coming at you with two daggers?

Oh wow... apparently a lot of high-end guilds are getting annihilated with the ban hammer for exploiting some Looking For Raid loot bug.

You think they would learn after the Saronite Bomb fiasco.

EDIT:

Hmm some people might be crying wolf as it seems they are still online, but who knows what will happen.

heres an example of what happened..

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/lightnings-blade/Wakoz/feed

Obtained Colossal Dragonplate Pauldrons. 1 day ago
Obtained Colossal Dragonplate Gauntlets. 1 day ago
Obtained Colossal Dragonplate Legplates. 1 day ago
Obtained Colossal Dragonplate Helmet. 1 day ago

shouldn't be able to obtain all 4 in 1 day

and someone else explained the 'exploit' on another forum..

Also the looking for raid system is being exploited by all the top guilds at the moment. Originally it was intended that you could only loot each boss once per week however if you run the raid with 24 people that 'cannot' loot due to having previously looted and one *new* guy that can loot all the bosses he can simply pass on the loot whilst the other raid members port out and back in allowing them to loot the corpse of the boss. So you simply rotate the 25th member with someone that can loot all the bosses each run.

not that I'm encouraging anyone, but there's a pretty nifty transmog bug.

if you mail transmog'd gear, it only seems to remove the effect from the first item you mail.

please look the other way at my level 20 mage wearing warlock T6 shoulders/robes (granted, I didn't bother spending 400g to transmog the helm because I'm sure Blizzard will fix this any second)

doubt they will get banned they will just have the items removed

I tried this, and it didn't remove the effect from the first item, but it did from all of the rest. I tried it again only mailing a single item (Bloodied Arcanite Reaper -- mogged to Gorehowl) and it mailed fine. Of course, I spent around 600g (the helm and cape cost a lot!) only to have them removed. :p

maybe it's random :(

my trick of one trash item + 2 BoA's did the mail trick for me

I tried that where I would mail a Chaos Orb and then everything else (chest, shoulders, helm and cape) which were all transmogged and only the chest came through with it intact.

I'm really sad. When Transmog was announed I was maining my Hunter and had my eye on the Shaman T10 lookalike set. Fast forward to now and I'm on my druid and I can't find a decent set. :| curses any suggestions? I prefer robe/kilts to any leggings and thats my only real want.

only thing that jumped out at me as having a robe/kilt and being super easily solo'able:

http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=376

the wowhead transmog set listing is pretty good for browsing armor, but most of the other caster-y leather sets I saw dropped in raids (ymmv on solo'ing)
