Are You Prepared for Patch 7.2: The Tomb of Sargeras

World of Warcraft's Patch 7.2 is due on March 28th, 2017.  It won't be long now until we can return to the Broken Shore and wreck havoc with the Legion and save Azeroth.  Are you prepared?

With the new patch comes several new and exciting features:

• Demon Assaults make completing World Quests a bit more interesting but apparently these will happen sometime after the official launch of the patch.
• Twenty three new mounts mostly associated with your character's class.  The Class Mounts will be locked behind an eleven-week quest chain so don't expect to get the mounts on Tuesday.
• New PvP season
• The Brawl feature which changes up some favored battlegrounds
• Pet Battle dungeons
• Artifact Trials which give you a new appearance for your artifact

How exciting!  It almost feels like a new expansion is coming out.  What are you most excited for?

Wild Gladiator [ Druid ]

"Death to our enemies...tear them apart!"

When it comes to ferocity on the battlefield, the druids have it covered.  Channeling the feral power of the predator to quickly slay their targets, the feral druid is easily feared by many of the Alliance.  Dressing in the skins of the Sabermaw invokes the spirit of those dread predators and gives power to the druid.

Today we look at the complete set for the Wild Gladiator, found in Ashran in the last expansion.  This set is barbaric, brutal, and quite stylish for those who wish to add a bit of brutal terror on the battlefield.  The set can be easily obtained with Marks of Honor, which as stated in other transmog sets I have posted, are quite easy to obtain.

Wrathful Gladiator's Dragonhide Helm (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Pauldrons (Two Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Tunic (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Legguards (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Grips (Two Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Belt of Victory (Two Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Boots of Victory (Two Marks of Honor)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.  You may add a cloak if you like but I found it looks best without one or with a small tatterd cloak...your choice.

Acolyte of the White Tiger [ Monk ]

"White Tiger watch over us."

Those monks who study and learn the secrets of the White Tiger train hard and with such devotion that even the famed acolytes of the Red Crane pale in comparison.  The White Tiger is strength and ferocity tempered by wisdom and compassion and his acolytes exemplify this philosophy.

The transmogrification set started off with the shoulders which I really liked.  Moving on through the outfit it was apparent that only beaten gold accents, such as found in the gloves and the kilt, worked quite well.  The helm, sadly, really only works well with female Tauren and the red found on the helm was the inspiration for the belt which helps tie in the entire outfit together.  Most items can be found in Siege of Ogrimmar and can only be obtained with your monk--so get out there and start farming!

Darkfang Mask (Earthbreaker Haromm - Heroic Siege of Ogrimmar)

Hopeglow Spaulders (Garrosh Hellscream - Siege of Ogrimmar)

Decorated Deathstalker Jerkin (Quest: Fate of the Queen's Reprisal - Azsuna)

Wound Dressing (Purchased in Dalaran at First Aid Shop)

Shado-Pan Reliquary Kilt (Pandaran Spoils - Heroic Siege of Ogrimmar)

Crimson Gauntlets of Death (Drop - Siege of Ogrimmar)

Waistclasp of Unethical Power (Drop - The Nighthold)

Scrupleless Bracers (Quest: Pierce Their Heart! - Ashenvale)

Surprise!  I've added bracers this time, but you don't need footwear.

Wrathful Gladiator [ Warrior ]

"The battle is never done; not with those Alliance dogs who keep trying to nip at the wolves."

For a warrior of the Horde, death and destruction are always right around the corner.  These stalwart defenders take the battle directly to the Alliance to defend the Horde and their very way of life from an enemy that wants to utterly destroy them.

The Wrathful Gladiator set, found in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, was a set that I always envied--so I've made a transmogrification for it with only two minor changes; the belt needed to be changed and I added a cloak.  The belt that came with this battleset wasn't visually strong enough and I chose another belt that was still easy to find.  Cloak are not always important but I added a one to this transmogrification that has the same basic colors of the outfit.  The PvP sets are extremely easy to get nowadays as the tokens to purchase them are account-bound and there is always at least one PvP World Quest in Legion that offers Marks of Honor as a reward.

Wrathful Gladiator's Plate Helm (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Plate Shoulders (Two Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Plate Chestpiece (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Plate Legguards (Three Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Plate Gauntlets (Two Marks of Honor)

Titan-forged Girdle of Triumph (Two Marks of Honor)

Wrathful Gladiator's Greaves of Triumph (Two Marks of Honor)

Splashcover Cloak (Kormrok - Hellfire Citadel)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.

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)

Battlebound Leggings (Leatherworking)

Fearless Gladiator's Ringmail Gauntlets (Legion Season Two PvP)

Fearless Gladiator's Clasp (Legion Season Two PvP)

Battlebound Treads (Leatherworking)

Like with most Tauren transmogrifications; no bracers are needed.

Serpent's Will [Monk]

"The Jade Serpent brings life...I bring death."

The destruction of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms have left many monks devastated.  While the desire for revenge was tempered by the Celestials it was only a matter of time before something pushed the normally peaceful protectors further.  With the wanton destruction of the sacred sites of the Pandaran monks by the Burning Legion it is time to take the fight to the demons.  While some monks focus on healing and meditation; others have taken a more practical approach to the battle at hand.

As I am now working on leveling up my monk I figured it was time to give some more love to the monk class.  Traditionally, monks have been peaceful and not quick to a fight so I wanted something that would be deadly looking to challenge the status quo.  The PvP gear has never been easier to get as the tokens are account bound.  The only hard part to get might be the girdle as it may take some time for it to drop.  As a note, the belt matches the color of the Jade Serpent animations from the shoulders.
