Tribal [Shaman]


"While we walk a different path from from other Shaman; we still answer the Element's call"

Dealing with the bones of the fallen, with sacred drums and rattles, and wielding carefully crafted totems; these spiritual leaders of the tribal groups of Azeroth take their job seriously.  Protecting not only the lands of their people but the connection with the elements as well; these witch doctors and tribal shamans hear the call of Azeroth to protect not only the sacred land, but their people as well.  Woe to those who defile the ground, who slaughter the innocent, who tread on taboo lands—the wrath of the Shaman is here.

A first look at transmogrification for the Highmountain Tauren.  I have to admit that I have been focused on leveling as a Shaman and, as such, have a lot of ideas for this class.  The helm has always been my favorite but it usually works best with the rest of the set--so I wanted to find something that the helm could go with.  The majority of these items comes from Wrath of the Lich King (my favorite expansion) so you may have some of these items already in your Appearances Tab.  The end result is a good look for somebody that wants a little less civilization in their transmogrification.

Death's Totem [Shaman]

"There are good spirits and bad spirits in the other world...I deal with both"

The space between the spirit realm and the waking world is thin and requires constant vigilance to ensure that some spirits do not come back.  These guardians who preside over some of the Horde death practices help ensure that no vengeful spirits ever make their way back to wreak havoc on the living as well as provide communication with those departed.

This set utilizes two amazing parts of the Legion Gladiator gear for Shaman...the best I feel being the belt.  The main theme, of course, is skulls with the gloves helping to tie in the belt used in this transmogrification.  Who doesn't like skulls on their armor?    Keeping the general color scheme helped to create an armor set that not only looks nice but is sure to get a few heads turning for a second look while battling it out in Azeroth.

Patch 7.3 Transmog Sets : Fierce Gladiator (Shaman)

"Yeah, I got some totems..."

Overall; I love the shaman PvP gear.  While it does look best on a Troll, the look on the Tauren isn't all that bad and very unique.  A different helm could possibly be used, but in the end, the Fierce Gladiator set for the Tauren works out quite well for all specs of the Shaman class.  The shoulders are, by far, my absolute favorite and could possibly be used in other transmogrification sets in the future...and those gloves!

Finding a suitable weapon appearance might be of some difficulty, but that is the price to pay for a truly magnificent transmog.

The set is for the last remaining PvP seasons for Legion and can be easily acquired through the PvP world quests around the Broken Shore.  Simply check the PvP World Quests everyday and group up to destroy the Alliance to get parts of your set.  Make sure to group up because it makes the world quest that much easier.

Child of the Flame [ Shaman ]

"The flame comforts but it also destroys...nature defined in such a simple thing."

One of the first shaman groups to enter the Firelands to help end the reign of Ragnaros; the Children of the Flame set out to destroy the corruption of the element of fire.  In this dangerous element these shamans understand the duality of fire, both as a creator and as a destroyer--while fire can create civilizations, it is fire than can consume them as well.  Successfully wielding fire is power and to fail means certain death.

I have been a fan of the Fearless Gladiator set when I first saw it come out in Season Two of the Legion PvP except for the chest and the helm.  By incorporating another set, in this case the Battlebound Set, the two seem to meld quite nicely in this transmogrification.  This set goes along with the other element-themed shaman outfits and can only be found in Legion with the exception of the helm.

Crown of Flame (Ragnaros - Firelands)
Fearless Gladiator's Ringmail Spaulders (Legion Season Two PvP)
Battlebound Hauberk (Leatherworking)

Son of Durotan [ Shaman ]

"I welcome the Wolf-Brother in you"

A powerful group of warrior-shamans calling themselves the Sons of Durotan frequently raid the Alliance opposition in Alterac Valley.  The Sons wreck havoc on those who defile the sacred valley which is the resting place of their hero, Durotan.  Honoring the power of Durotan's wolf with ferocity and cunning; these soldiers of Alterac have since struck out from the valley and gather together to defeat the Legion--a task they thoroughly enjoy almost as much as killing Alliance soldiers.

This set started off with the acquisition of the shoulders which I immediately fell in love with.  From there, putting the pieces together was an easy task except for the helm which I have fallen back on an old favorite.  I have not included a cloak in this transmog, but any that have white with dark coloring will do well.  Additionally, my own personal transmogrification has the artifact weapons look like the Garden Sickles ( acquired from your Garrison in Draenor) which looks awesome with the rest of the outfit.

Mask of the Speaker (Shaman Quest: Slaves of the Firelord)
Thundercrush Pauldrons (Wrath of Azshara - Eye of Azshara)
Chestguard of Inscrutability (Quest: Elementary! in Mount Hyjal)
Spiritwalker's Legguards (Alizabal - Baradin Hold)
Marauding Grips of Hrafsir (Quest: Wings of Liberty in Stormheim)
Belt of the Blood Nova (Deathbringer's Cache - Heroic Icecrown Citadel)
Runesworn Boots (Quest: Regal Remains - Stormheim)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed with this transmog.

Wolf of War [ Shaman ]

"The wolves answer my call for they are my brothers on the battlefield"

Shamans are noted for thier ferocity as well as their attunement with the natural, often times volitile, elements of which they serve.  Many shamanistic groups also revere animals as the epitome of being one with nature.  This feral looking shaman is no different as we take a break from the elemental look and go for a more animal look for the class.

The majority of this tranmogrification is the Dark Shaman gear found in Seige of Ogrimmar--which incidentally enough can be completed by youself or a buddy.  However, with the original collection the shoulders didn't look good...on anybody.  The shoulders have been changed to something more primal and brutal and should be something that you already have in your Transmogrification tab.

Shaman of the Storm [ Shaman ]

"Even mountains fear the storm."

Shaman's are attuned to the world of Azeroth.  It is through this connection that they have their power and skills that allow them to not only protect the lands, but the people as well.  It is the shaman of the world that connect the people to the unknown and powerful.

The Shaman of the Storm transmog shows off the preferred power of most shamans: storms.  Storms themselves are violent in nature and the outfit tries to show that off.  Getting this full outfit requires some work in Icecrown Citadel as well as some work in Pandaria.  The belt comes from the Nighthold in Suramar; which in itself might be hard to get.

Firebird's Helmet (Token from the Sha of Fear)
Horrific Flesh Epaulets (Festergut - ICC 25N)

Unclean Surgical Gloves (Festergut - ICC 25N)

The Bone Shaman [ Shaman ]


"The bones of our ancestors speak wisdom and the bones of our enemies bestow power"

Finding good mail gear can be somewhat agonizing.  Either the gear looks really bad or it doesn't work well with Tauren body shape.  However, we can compromise and find something that looks good and fits well enough.  In this case, Jorrag had to find three separate items sets and mash them together to come up with a good look.

This set requires some time to get the complete look.  While you should already have the Mask of the Speaker (check your Transmog panel), the Primal Gladiator gear and the Sanctified Frost Witch's items may require a bit of work.  As for the Warsong items--you can get these with a bit of farming in Draenor and taking those tokens and scrap pieces back to your garrison--where hopefully you have a War Mill waiting for you.

I originally had Garden Sickles as weapons on Jorrag; but with the release of Legion and Artifact weapons; you can decide if you want to go with the artifact appearances or revert to the sickles...I'm still thinking about that one.
