Patch 4.3 - On a Deathwing and a prayer

[Sjofn]

http://wowroleplaygear.com/ can be helpful for figuring out looks too, by the way.

[Ironwood]

I still haven't found a 1h axe to have in reserve for my outfit, for those patch cycles when the tanking weapon is an axe. Otherwise I think I'm all set.

Hakkari Manslayer was the only 1h axe I ever liked.  Don't know if you can get it now though.

[Merusk]

I wonder if this means they'll make the Malefactor's Eyepatch (only mail eyepatch model) available as a vanity skin.

How about a monocle instead: http://www.wowhead.com/item=31218

I'd thought about it, but the eyepatch was much, much cooler.

A little skull on it and everything.  /sadf

[Rendakor]

Isn't that Eyepatch still obtainable?

[Merusk]

Quest-only item.  I did the quest on my hunter back when that was still a good item and better than some dungeon/ raid items.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I still have the cloth horde only warlock horns from back in bc. They're q felheart resin and no longer obtainable. I almost want to resub just to rock them

Nope, and I don't think they reused the model either.

I was going through my warrior's stuff today:

What about the Axe of the Deep Woods, Ingmar?

[Ingmar]

It's mostly a matter of color matching - so far that blue lion head axe is the closest. It needs to go with the blue/gold coloring of Heroism (the upgraded Valor armor, warrior set 0.5), draconian deflector, the Slap tabard, etc. For a sword I'm using http://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/218893.jpg

[Merusk]

Ah, gotcha.

Wish I had Heroisim.. I just discovered I have all the valor parts EXCEPT the pants.  I'd forgotten I'd never managed to get them to drop. 

I think I'll just slap on the glorious set. 

[Ingmar]

Well, I think they're going to sell replica things through whatever it is you do at the Darkmoon Faire...

[Merusk]

Rumor is they'll have the Heriloom pantss at Darkmoon, too.. but that requires grinding and it's beginning to look like this patch isn't going to come out prior to KOTOR, either.

[SurfD]

Im glad they have the old dungeon 0 sets available, but on the other hand, kind of irritated they also have the 0.5 sets available.  Having the 0.5 set actually required a lot of work and effort to get, and I kind of wish those at least had stayed unavailable to preserve their uniqueness.

I would be pretty surprised to see it push past SWTOR release given that they already have the background downloader going now. That said I could easily see it coming out the week before SWTOR but really they should release it end of nov or first week of dec.

While I kinda agree with you, since my .5 is in my bank too, I'm not THAT cut up about it, since the sets themselves kinda looked shit.

lol priest

[Ironwood]

Warrior set, I should clarify.

[Simond]

At least your character will never be short of a can-opener.

Eh, the Feralheart set on a Female Tauren is probably one of the best looking Druid Sets in the game.  Add on the Shadowstrike from Molten Core for polearm Transmog, and it makes a pretty sweet set for Feral.

[Sheepherder]

LOL Vendorstrike.

[Azazel]

Have they said anything about T2? I want to get my pally a set of Judgement Armor. And, well, Tier 5 for my priest. Just shoulders would do!

[SurfD]

Considering that both of those are still in the game, and easily farmable with a group of like 3-5 level 85's, I doubt they will be adding them to vendors any time soon.

[Azazel]

Well that sucks. Why bother putting in easy things that could instead be achieved by good old farming at max level.

[Simond]

The T0/T0.5 dungeon sets haven't been in the game since 4.0, so there's that.
Also: http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-sets

[Ingmar]

Ooh, nice.

[SurfD]

actually, i think 90% of the T0 sets still drop normally in the game, just an odd piece here or there may have gone missing when they re-did scholomance as a level 40ish dungeon.  Though i could be wrong.  It is possible the level 60 pieces still drop off the new lower level mobs.

T0.5 is competely gone though, since i believe they removed the questline for it sometime around the time Wrath launched.

[Ingmar]

0 is gone entirely, did a baron mount run recently and he dropped no pants at all. ( )

The 0.5 quest line didn't go away until the 4.0 launch pre-Cata.

[Merusk]

Yeah 0 is absolutely out of game as a drop.  If you see one of the BOE pieces on the AH it's because someone found a piece on a bank alt and is trying to sell it now that Transmog is around.   Or you're just seeing the heirloom pieces that match the old T0 models.

Wierd, i could have sworn that when i did Stratholm on my Goblin priest that Balnazzar still dropped a T0 piece.

[Sjofn]

This is out this week, by the way. 

[Wolf]

kind of excited about translalala. Have about a billion sets I want to try with matching everything 

[Sjofn]

The only thing I am not looking forward to is the change to the paladin's "I'm a SUPER HEALING STREAM TOTEM" spell. That spell was fucking money in PvP as is, and I will sorely miss it. The rest I am either indifferent to (I don't raid, so whatever, Deathwing raid) or pleased to see coming (transmorg, obvs, but also the new five mans).

[Wolf]

flipside is they broke the new version of holy radiance, so paladins in 391/397 (heroic tier 12) are sustaining 40k hps in stacked burn phases without dropping mana. So I don't think you'll be very unhappy over this particular change

[Sjofn]

Like I said, I don't raid. If the Alliance lets me cast it a bunch in PvP, perhaps it will soothe the pain a bit, but I will still miss the original version a lot.
