With this set we aimed for a more demony or demon huntery look, whatever you prefer to see it as.  We very much liked the helm and chest piece, and more or less found pieces that went well with them.  We decided to go for simpler looking weapons because we wanted the focus to be more on the gear itself, but like most Rogue sets you can more or less pick your own favorite weapons if you’d prefer a different look.

This set isn’t too hard to get, the main hand will require you to raid Naxxramas though, and a couple of pieces come from Molten Core which is easily solo’d.

We decided we wanted to make a Fire Mage set, but we though it’d be cool to give it a more ashy look rather than molten.  We thought it’d be cool for a more elder mage or something, who knows.  Whatever the case, we love the way it turned out.  Especially the weapon.  Its a sword though so this set won’t work for priests, but any mages/warlocks can pull this off with a caster sword.

This set will require some raiding for the cloak and weapon, as well as some grinding for random greens if you don’t get lucky on the AH.  If you wanna run this set with a Staff, you could try the Bloodfire Greatstaff.

We absolutely love the look of the Bloodfang Spaulders and wanted to create a set more or less around them.  This Bloodletter theme just tries to use simple red leather pieces and vicious jagged daggers to create the bloody aesthetic.  There were certainly a lot of more intense pieces we could have opted for, but we liked the down-to-earth look as many rogues complain about looking too unstealthy with all the crazy tier pieces.

The set itself requires a fair bit of old raid farming, including the shoulders and daggers (you’ll need 2 of them).  A lot of the set is composed of random greens that may or may not be hard to find on your server.

In our earnest opinion, Dranei don’t get enough respect.  Nor do Enhancement Shaman really.  A match made in heaven?  We think so.  This set is all about raw molten fury, with what we consider the coolest fist weapons currently in the game.  The shoulders were a perfect match, and the rest of the set just works.  There were a bunch of cool looking helms to go with the set, but the helm off the level 60 Ragnaros went the best.  There were a few matching cloaks but we felt the set looked far more intense without any cloak at all.

Most of the pieces will require some serious BC Raid farming, and just requiring you to have 2 fist weapons is a already pretty demanding considering the extreme lack of them in Cataclysm raids.  If you ca pull it off though, you’ll have a hard time picking between weapon non-fist weapon upgrades and these sharp looking weapons.

Blood Knight Paladin

This Blood Knight themed set works perfectly for Blood Elf paladins, but other than the tabard is available for all Plate wearers.  There’s actually a Blood Knight shield available but the honest truth is we thought it looked a little… dinky.  There are a lot of Blood Knight transmog sets out there so we decided to go for a very unique set up, using a surprising amount of Death Knight gear from Firelands which blended PERFECTLY with the Redsteel crafted shoulders.  As a whole it just looks a bit more worn and real than a pure black and red set, opting for a more burgundy and grey composition.  The 2H Mace is one of our favorite mace models in the game and any excuse to use it is a good excuse, although a specific Blood Knight weapon does exist and can be obtaind by a Paladin dungeon quest or found as a random BoE.

A fair amount of this set is crafted saronite gear, but the Bethtilac shield and Death Knight Firelands drops require a bit of luck/lack of raid demand to obtain.  Holy/Ret paladins might have a fair amount of these pieces already, but it would be misinforming to call this set easy.
