Dwarf Mage

A fire-themed dwarf mage seemed pretty obvious, and I am nothing if not cliche -- but I at least want to put my own spin on it! So instead of using a straight up fiery set (e.g. the Firelord's Vestments (Recolor)), I came up with what you see here out of a few different sets. In addition to the fire themes, you get a lot of metals and jewels, making it look very royal and opulent. I think this is very appropriate for a race renowned for their earthen riches and treasures. This character would look absolutely perfect riding around on a Core Hound, which by itself really makes me wish I had this guy, since it's such an awesome mount that just doesn't fit any of my characters!

Orc Warlock

You can't go wrong with most of the warlock sets -- most of them are quite sinister and just oozing with demonic energy. But for my orc warlock, I decided I wanted to go with an old warlock, someone who had been around since the original fall of the orcs, who maybe even used to be a shaman before drinking the blood of Mannoroth. I think this outfit matches that concept quite well -- it's ragged and worn, a little tribal, but thoroughly tainted by fel power.

Human Priest

And here's something quite different and unique -- an Alliance battle cleric! I decided to model my human priest after a Dungeons and Dragons cleric, someone who's in the thick of battle, smiting foes with both mace and magic. When designing non-robe cloth outfits, I find it's most important to start with the feet -- there just aren't that many cloth boots with some bulk to them. Luckily, the Landfall Satin Treads look like actual boots, which led to using most of Velen's Raiment for the other pieces, which works perfectly because it does look somewhat armor-y. The Argent Crusader's Tabard was a no-brainer, fill in the other few item slots, and ta-da, you have an Alliance battle cleric ready to go out and smite the unclean!

Undead Warlock

Per request, here's my stab at a Forsaken warlock! I wanted to go for something plague-y, as opposed to demon-y, and I'm quite happy with how it came out. The only thing I might fiddle with is the off-hand -- I think I would have preferred a tome with a purple glow, as opposed to trying to match the very minimal green in the outfit. You'll also note that I've started adding recommended enchants to weapons, and noting it in the set breakdown below. The enchant was pretty important in this set, but I'll probably keep doing this going forward.

Goblin Mage

I wanted to do a goblin blastmage a la Hearthstone, but with a few modifications. First, I wanted to go with a non-robe look, because (a) that lets me use the Bilgewater Cartel Tabard, and (b) it seems more practical for a goblin blaster, who probably wants to be in the thick of things (to blow the things up). But since he is a mage, I wanted to go with a hood instead of goggles. With all this in mind, the Tirisfal Regalia (Recolor) (sans chest) fulfills all my criteria and looks really nice. For the weapon, it was really just a matter of finding something that looked like it was ready to EXPLODE at a moment's notice.

Draenei Mage

There's not too much to say about this outfit for my draenei mage Archaeas. The Tier 9 mage set looks very draenic and super appropriate for an arcane mage, and it matches the Staff of the Skymagi perfectly. Unfortunately, the matching belt is just awful -- I HATE the giant bulky belt models! There's a few viable alternatives, but I eventually settled on the Cincture of Will. It's not a perfect match, but the gold and purple designs go with the rest of the set perfectly, and I think the white band works, even though it is lighter than the other set colors. Sometimes it's okay for belts to be an accent piece, standing out a little from the rest of the outfit -- within reason! For a more interesting set, check out this draenei warp-engineer.

Troll Priest

Better late than never, here's last Thursday's Horde post -- my troll shadow priest Jinzai. The various troll armor sets are all amazing for transmog, but I try to spice them up with some non-set pieces. Luckily, the Robes of Hooded Nightmares matches the Amani Regalia (Recolor) set remarkably well. Add in the skull accents from the Crafted Malevolent Gladiator's Cord of Accuracy and Cloak of Armed Strife, along with the iconic Bad Mojo Mask, and you've got a perfect troll witch doctor.

Gnome Warlock

Vonzelli here was probably my first real transmog project back in Mists, requiring some gear hunting and LFR grinding -- as a result he ended up being my best-geared character, even though I wouldn't have called him my main or anything. As a gnomish "mad scientist," the Vicious Fireweave set was a good starting place for this appearance, since it looks very lab coat-esque (the big pointy hat is a plus). The ICC priest lookalike shoulders and belt match well, and add some warlock-appropriate green accents. Then the staff just ties the whole concept together, mixing technology and demonic power (with green fire, of course).

Undead Mage

I've been picky about transmog sets for my undead mage Ghislain for a while, wanting an outfit that was evocative of Warcraft liches. Aesthetically, I also wanted gloves (not sleeves), and to find equipment models that didn't clip obnoxiously, which can be hard with the undead model's posture. I finally settled on this set, which I like quite a lot. The dark colors, icy accents, and sinister staff look lich-like, while the matching Tier 8 shoulders and gloves hint at his being a powerful wizard in life. The tattered cloak also gives an appropriate sense of rot and decay. The result is the powerful and sinister Forsaken lich you see here.

Edit 4/7: After collecting everything but the staff, I didn't love how this looked in-game. I've decided I can let the bulky gloves go, and am shooting for this outfit now.

Blood Elf Warlock

Nothing says blood elf like the Sunwell armor sets, so it was obvious that I'd want to go there for my Sunreaver warlock Arienthas. Most everything worked out immediately, except that since I wanted to display the Sunreaver tabard, and tabards and robes mix terribly, I'd need to (a) find a non-robe chest, and (b) find matching boots. Point (a) was no trouble, since the tabard covers up most all of the chest anyway, so this chest piece and the black shirt work perfectly. Point (b) was a real problem, though, since the matching boots are mage-only. Ultimately I settled on the Runecloth Boots you see to the right -- I actually think the gold/yellow main with red accent balances the shoulders nicely, and really ties everything together. Similarly for the belt. The result is a distinct and striking blood elf look usually reserved for mages, for a Sunreaver warlock.

Worgen Priest

I had a hard time deciding on a race for my Alliance priest -- while plenty of races have the "disciple of the Light" thing down, I could see very few as shadow priests, which is what I wanted. Eventually I decided that a worgen would be most appropriate as a shadow priest, playing to the obvious werewolf style and mythology. With this in mind, Walstaf's transmog followed fairly quickly -- the Tier 10 Dark Coven look-alike gear, with a different (not enormous) belt, and a matching weapon. I went ahead and got the matching shoes, as well, even though they don't appear in worgen form. I like that the final result is dark and mysterious, rather than evil and sinister, which I think is appropriate for a worgen shadow priest.
