Transmogrification and you!Follow

agreed

This got me thinking. I don't want to see a bunch of people in dresses and bunny ears fighting a huge dragon. Being able to change any tier set to the model of a previous however would be so goddamn cool. I approve of this.

I'm kind of mixed on whether or not you have to have obtained the armor previously to have said style available. One argument is that those who have worked for it should be given the bonus. It would add another lair layer of things to do.

Another interesting spin might be to make tier armor sets require the achievement of completing the associated raid (where possible). This would give a REAL incentive to running the old raids which may be good.

That way the special armor sets will have been "earned" so to speak instead of just giving everyone access to everything (that and in the future as new content becomes obsolete making it automatically available).

I'm kind of disappointed there will be no Abyssal Maw. I was interested in seeing a water based raid. It could have had some interesting mechanics.

EDIT: Darn phonetic spelling.

I think it would only make sense to have the original piece obtained somehow before being able to use the model. But it's certainly not much of an achievement considering that you can very much solo the old raids.

A different story, though, if they wouldn't stop with armor. A legendary weapon would be truly legendary if you could continue to use the model at least. Right now it's a shame that you're putting in all the effort to own something that's really only good for looks and has no practical use anymore the moment the level cap is raised.

There is just too much of a difference between a randomly dropped tier token and all the pain involved in building a legendary.

They've stated that this will work with weapons. So you can certainly use Dragonwrath's model well into the next expansion if you want.

They are now saying that Legendaries can not be the target or the recipient of the effect. So legendaries are going to be legendary and unique.

Me? I'm sticking with Anathema, baby. Now I just have to decide what to turn my gear into... T6? T2? T5? T4? Something else?

I think you misread that somewhere. Weapons have to stay within their type, such as 1h mace to 1h mace, except for bows and guns, which can be swapped. But legionaries would not be allowed.

See now that just reminds me of the awesome scythe I got on my lock from Felwood back in the day. Damn it, none of my casters have staves... I need to work on that. =x

Gives me hope that I'll be able to keep the look I like on my 'lock.
I believe it's the Aurora "set" that he's in... it's an outfit, and I try to remember to swap to it when I'm in town but it's hard, I've sold a couple pieces a couple times now just when I want to make bag space then have to pick them up again. But a dark beastly 'lock in an all white outfit? I like it.

Also have to go back and get some plate sets for the girl paladin, she was rocking some thigh highs and belly baring things for a while, but an upgraded piece of gear broke the look and I got tired of carrying the gear.

Oooh part of that was a quest reward gear, wonder if that will be open as she's got loremaster for the zone.

Druid T3 was awesome, too bad it doesnt exist anymore. T6 was....not so bad.

Holy Paladin T2 and T5 sets, tha bomb!
