Mail transmog set

Well, not literally, but I think her dog is.  You have to wonder if it gets hot carrying a flaming polearm around on your back.   The Hellreaver is another one of those items I first experienced leveling my Blood Elf DK.  I’ve never really understood why they don’t have more strength polearms in the game, but at least there’s plenty of agility ones for hunters to transmog!

This was the first outfit I transmogged.  I was so excited about the feature, I bought a bunch of greens off the AH and copied my hunter over to the PTR to play around.  I liked it so much, I ‘mogged this look the first day.  The mail is very prounounced in the set, which is always nice, and I think the pockets on the pants add an excellent utility feel.

Hunters don’t use ammunition in-game anymore, but if Drainee needed some spare bullets, leg pockets seem like the perfect place to keep them.  Maybe some treats for Knucklehead too, he’s a good Demon dog, although you don’t have to feed your pets in-game anymore either.  Playing a hunter used to be a lot more work.  My very first character was a hunter.  I only played for a weeks, got to level 25 or so, but it was way back in Burning Crusade before they started changing hunters.  At that time, if you wanted to get rid of a pet, you would choose Abandon Pet, at which time the thing would turn around and attack you!  If you planned to be standing around the city for a long time, you had to dismiss your pet.  The longer you stayed inactive, the unhappier your pet got, and they would eventually leave you.  When I picked the game up again at the beginning of Wrath they had taken those two mechanics out, t it wasn’t until later in Wrath they removed ammo, and with Cata came the elimination of the pet happiness system.

Well, now that the history of pets in WoW is out of the way, lets talk about this look! To the left you can see the whole Marshcreeper Mail set.  It comes with strange red shoulders that don’t match at all.  I picked some silver scaley shoulders that coordinate well enough.  I also replaced the ankle wraps for some real boots.  For some reason I am anti skinny boots.  Boots should be large and in charge!  One of my biggest challenges in making outfits is finding boots that don’t look like 80’s leg warmers.  The Marshcreeper Items and the Sundered Spaulders are all Burning Crusade level BOE’s

Head – none
Shoulders – Sundered Spaulders
Chest – Marshcreeper Fen-Vest
Hands – Marshcreeper Gloves
Waist – Marshcreeper Belt
Legs –  Marshcreeper Leggings
Feet – Scaled Draenic Boots
Polearm – Hellreaver
Bow – Windrunner’s Bow

What is UP with that armory pose?  Once upon a time they upgraded the original armory to let you change your character’s pose.  Then, they upgraded it again, moved it to the battle.net site and for some reason lost that feature.  Drainee could really use it.
