Monk transmog - Flaming focus





[Crown of Seven Sacred Seals] (heroic), Head
[Yeti-Hide Spaulders] (heroic), Shoulders
[Robes of Summer Flame] (normal), Chest
[Vellum-Ripper Gloves] (heroic), Hands
[Seal of Karmic Return] (heroic), Waist
[Grassy Bindings] (alliance quest), Feet
[Stolen Talrendis Boots] (horde quest), Feet
[Giorgio's Caduceus of Pure Moods] (raid finder), Staff



I often feel sorry for monks, because when creating a monk transmog you kind of have to use leftover pieces from the other classes' gear. This transmog however is built around the monk tier 16 set (heroic Armor of Seven Sacred Seals), with a few druid pieces thrown in there to make it feel fiery and forest-ish.



When I make monk transmogs I almost always use a panda model to show them. I can't help but to think that the monk class suits them best. Sorry, all you monks that play other races!

Mage transmog - Stitched magic

[Cataclysmic Gladiator's Silk Cowl] (season 11), Head
[Cataclysmic Gladiator's Silk Amice] (season 11), Shoulder
[Hisek's Chrysanthemum Cape] (raid finder), Back
[Mystic's Robe], Chest
[Gloves of the Chromatic Hydra] (heroic), Hands
[Vita-Binder Wrap] (heroic thunderforged), Waist
[Staff of Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan], Staff (left)
[Spire of Scarlet Pain] (heroic), Staff (bottom)

The robe looks kind of lonely here as the only green item, but the robe is actually what the whole transmog derived from. I have a thing for low level green items, and this robe made me think of trolls, so I decided to make a transmog for troll mages!

If you choose another weapon with this, I would recommend either [Enchanter's Illusion - Power Torrent] or [Enchanter's Illusion - Elemental Force] as weapon glows to go with the transmog.

Paladin transmog - Two sides of the story

Here I have two similiar yet different transmogs! The shoulders and legs are the same, and the chest and hand pieces are the same models on both transmogs, but both have different color schemes. They are supposed to represent alliance and horde, although I like the red-purple one better and I'd more likely use that one on my human paladin. ;)

To me it's a bit shocking how sexualized the female plate armor is, especially that before level 70 (but alot of gear after level 70 is very sexualized and revealing too). Have you guys ever noticed that? No? Lots and lots of boob breastplates and revealing holes in the gear - where a deadly spear easily would find its target. Alot of these pieces have a different, more covering, model for male characters. I guess women in revealing clothes is so common to us that we don't question it - even when men get to wear empowering gear right next to the scantily clad women. Yet I can't stop using the sexier kind of gear. I feel a little ashamed...

Hunter transmog - Something fishy

[Ravenchain Helm] (neutral quest), Head
[Feludius' Mantle] (heroic), Shoulders
[Cloak of Violent Harmony] (drop), Cloak
[Carapace of Segmented Scale] (vendor), Chest
[Laughing Skull Orcs Tabard] (horde), Tabard
[Gloves of Ghostly Dreams] (vendor), Hands

[Outrider Chainmail] (neutral quest), Legs
[Boots of Az'galada] (heroic), Feet
[Black Iron Sniper Rifle] (normal), Gun (left)
[Njorndar Bone Bow] (normal), Bow (right)
I think we've all noticed by now that Blizzard loves to give dead animal heads to hunters. I felt inspired when I saw this head that I think looks like a gawking fish (because who doesn't want a fish head on your head?). This is a mix of epic dungeon and raid items, quest rewards and vendor items. I always feel pleased when I find use for uncommon and rare items, and not just epics!

The head is actually the only exclusive hunter item on this transmog so most of it can be worn by shamans as well... (although that would look kind of weird).
