Transmogrification and stuff!

[Newsom]

Exactly. It was a pretty stupid restriction to begin with, though I think it was mostly because many MH weapons didn't have OH models and it'd be weird for dual wielding.

[Shoju]

If I were playing, I would go back to wearing T12 (normal, not heroic) while Dual Wielding Great Sword of Horrid Dreams for DPS, and using my Troll Wood Plate with Skull/Spine Mace for tanking all the time.

while Dual Wielding Great Sword of Horrid Dreams for DPS

I loved that weapon. I remember the first time I saw it I was like "oh wowwwwww".

while Dual Wielding Great Sword of Horrid Dreams for DPS

I loved that weapon. I remember the first time I saw it I was like "oh wowwwwww".

I remember keeping that sword on a bank alt for ages just because of the skin, and then when transmogrification arrived I was overjoyed that I had saved it - And then equally frustrated when I couldn't because of MH restrictions.

Will definitely pick it up again should I return to WoW at some point.

[Shoju]

I tanked with that sword for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. I even used it at times simply because I loved the model after I had better weapons (and the content was heroic Pugs where threat wasn't an issue.)

When I main changed to Onisu, I went back and did lots of the old stuff for achieves, and then later for mogging. I had always held out hope that they would allow what they are doing now, and saved it for that very reason.

It's probably one of my fav Sword Models in the game. Simplistic, but very cool. There is a 2h'd model of it that you can get from the Botanica. If I were a Warrior, I'd probably have both models so that I could go Fury, and people would never know if I were Titan's Grip, or SMF. Sort of like the Silver-Edged Axe (2h'd) and the Axe of the Judgement Day use the same model, but are 1h'd/2h'd models.

[Nikachelle]

Oh maybe I'm thinking of the 2H. I don't remember it being only for one hand.

Did you see they are also bringing back the old ZA and ZG gear that was made unavailable when those raids were converted to 5-mans?

Whoa really? Where/how?

I ticketed a GM last expansion trying to get my old ZA shield back (I even tried to offer him screenshot proof I'd had it) but they refused.

[Archeth]

They do? I really wanted the Tuskbreaker gun on my hunter, ran ZA almost every lockout before they turned it into a heroic, but that thing was a chest reward and never dropped for me. I got pretty much everything else I wanted, although not necessarily on every alt. The recolors they added to the heroic ended up being kind of ugly though.

that is so freaking awesome. jin'rokh...zin'rokh..whatever the one was called from the ZA 10 man...i loved that thing...could never get it to drop. that and the 1h mace for tanking.

i personally love the gladiator's gavel...the white rock on a stick...thinking about getting that for my warrior as well...going dual-wield. actually, if i stay titans grip...dual-wielding the burning crusader looks awesome sheathed on your back.

[halabar]

They are doing it similar to what they did at the beginning of Panda. The old models are being brought back as green drops and/or quest rewards. Wowhead has an article on it.

[twinkfist]

excellent, excellent, excellent. kicking myself because i picked the 1h sword from that starting quest instead of the one that looks like reckoning from the crusader of crap instance. didn't make that mistake on my warrior.

i'm too lazy to go to northrend...but did try to 2-man 25 man faction champions for that 2h axe...f that.

[Shoju]

Oh maybe I'm thinking of the 2H. I don't remember it being only for one hand.

2h'er is from Warp Splinter in Botanica
1h'er is from Murmur in Slabs

Some other Main Hand Weapons I'm curious to see in use.

Spine of a Thousand Cuts (if you were lucky enough to see it drop in DS)
Seethe (because blue is awesome)
The Turning Tide
Maw of the Dragonlord (I think that's be pretty awesome on a DW DK,
Twilight's Hammer
Andoros Fist of the Dragon King
Glorious Scepter

And I'm curious. Does anyone have a Supposed Mace, or a Skullstone Hammer? It looks like a Monkey Wrench? I'm curious if it is moggable. Would be a pretty cool Engineer themed Mog.

Goggles,
Armor that looks like it could be in or from a junkyard
That mace
And one of the Scrap Metal Shields that looks pieces together, or a Force Reactive Disk.

Sorry to disappoint but they're bringing back old troll models (ZG/ZA), not ToC ones.

Fixed.

They already brought back the ToC ones. The first quest green weapons on the Alliance gunship were ToC models. My hunter has the one that's the same model as the BRK-1000. Allthough I don't think they did them all.

Wowhead had an article on it.

[twinkfist]

yeah, i meant that when i saw the TOC models i was pretty happy and then passed on the 2h sword because i'm an idiot. picked the 1h sword that is red. now i have to go to TOC 10 man to get that sword on my pally.

i like the 2h axe from that place...but getting people that want to go there is a pain.

went to black temple on my pally for the first time since BC to see what i could get. jack sh!t.

[Shoju]

A friend asked me to design a set for his fresh 90 Troll Monk.

Probably not Monk enough but definitely screams "I'm A FREAKING TROLL!"

EDIT:
Once he is done being mad, I'll send him This set and tell him to pick one.

[Gab]

Need a little help. I really like the look of Swiftsteel Shoulders but it has been difficult putting together a matching set. I think I'm pretty close to where I want it.

I'm trying to find some boots and possibly a belt (although the judgement one seems to be a decent fit) to bring the set together. Current boots are just too gold, looking for something slick/minimalist as a replacement.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/azgalor/Gabora/advanced

Thoughts? I could change the legs/hands as well I suppose but I kinda like the Grimscale legs and the fingerless gloves.

The reason they brought some of them back was because they became unavailable when they removed the attempt based tribute chests. You can still get all the other models from there by just running the raid.

Here are some boots I would check IN GAME because the colors of the model viewer get weird on gold sets.

1.) Blues Greaves of the Righteous Gaurdian.
The question here will be is the gold gold enough, and are the accents too distracting.

2.) Vicious Gladiator's Greaves of Alacrity.
The question here is simply, do the colors match you armor. Looks like a good choice, maybe.

3.) Lawbringer Boots.
A long shot. I don't think they'll match.

Only have model viewer atm.

I really like the colors on these as well as the red accents matching the belt's without being over the top. Perhaps a tad bulkier than what I was looking for but I'll definitely give 'em a shot. I think a grey color would also work. The main emphasis is on the shoulders so the boots don't have to be too eye catching.

Thanks Shoju.

[Shoju]

Sure. 'Mogging was my... "thing". Almost every single character I had at max level was mogged.

DK Sporting a Silver Look with Gold Accents
Pally Sporting an Eng/Silvermoon look
Shaman lookin' Trolly oly
Priest looking awesome
Druid lookin' Druidy
Hunter was still a work in Progress
Warrior was also a work in progress
Warlock, lookin' like a warlock

[twinkfist]

going back and doing all these old instances for gear...i really forgot how cool the BWL is on the eyes.

actually, i may start wearing t2 again because no one on my server wears it anymore except for the purple recolor. probably t2 with the drake talon cleaver because everyone and their mother has the draconic avenger as an axe model.

even the wrath set for my warrior isn't looking that bad right now with dual cat's edge.

It has some fantastic models.

Maladath,
The original Ashkandi
The Elementium Bulwark
Herald of Woe
Staff of the Shadow Flame
Chul'Shorukh
Doom's Edge
Dragonbreath Hand Cannon
Claw of the Black Drake
Ashjhre'thul
Hell, Even Heartstriker looks good for being so... "plain"

And then, you have T2, which almost all the T2 sets look pretty awesome. I'm not a fan of the warrior set, but I know I'm in the minority.

[Amirya]

I think I'm the only person in the entire WoW-verse to think that paladin T2 is friggin' hideous...
