What gear are you looking forward to?
Let's be silly for a moment, and share screenies of our dream gear. :) LootLink is a wonderful addon for trying on stuff in the "dressingroom", especially when you have a particular set of gear you really want, and are getting discouraged thinking you still have a long way to go until you get it. Besides, it's not just the girls, I think everyone is pleased when their character looks particularly striking. I'm often amazed, actually, at how well even many mismatched armour pieces do look good in the end.

So this is my dream gear... It's mostly lower-tier PVP armour, because it will be a LONG time before my Rogue can /dance around in full Tier2, or even Tier1. :)

This isn't an uberific Rogue set, just a realistic aspiration. Most of the things in this screenie, I already have - Blooddrenched Mask, Shadowcraft Spaulders, Blood Guard's Leather Walkers, Blood Guard's Leather Grips. I just need the Rank8 chestpiece and leggings, which - hopefully! - I will get when I hit Rank 8 next week. (and my PVP grind stops there, I can't handle further ranks with work + school.)

The handblades, are my true dream weapons... they still need to be pried off the cold dead corpses of the Panther and Tiger bosses in ZG! I have faith that my guild can kill them, the bosses just have to drop 'em!

What's YOUR character's dream gear, realistic or not? What would you most like to get your paws on? It can be for stats, looks, whatever. But I am curious. (also curious what gear is out there, that my alts might aspire for, too.) :)

The fist weaps are so sweet looking. I have Thekal's Grasp and just need the off-hand one at this point. :) I stopped my PvP grind at Rank 8 too on my rogue because to go to the next rank I would've needed something insane like 150-200K honor for the week. Good luck gathering the last of your dream gear! :)

they ARE, i have an obsession with fist weapons since AC2, lol, and these are the best looking in the game. :) Grats on your Thekal's Grasp!

and yeah, I've been climbing up through rank 7 for the past month slowly, been busy so the past 2 weeks have been in 5% increments. I've got a final 7% left and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll come back from class next Tuesday and find myself at rank 8. Then my Rogue is retiring from the PVP grind, because rank 9 gets you almost nothing decent, and aiming for rank 10 (or anything higher thank rank 8) would be a insane and impossible time investment right now. Maybe I'll save up pvp points in the expack... maybe. :)

Not a chance! Claw of the Black Drake is the best-looking fist weapon in the game ;)

yeah but does Claw of the Black Drake come in a set ;)
Though if it ever drops, I will be so very very veeeery tempted to bid on it...
I'm the guild handblade freak :)

No, it doesn't :( there's only one (*one*) viable off-hand for it in the entire game, and it drops from Kel'thuzad. It doesn't even match the Claw, and it has better DPS than the claw do as well (but is off hand only).

Eskhandar set is pretty cool too, with a good, a bad and an awesome proc effect respectively (attack speed = good, bleed effect = bad, summon big bad wolf = awesome).

My dream is highly unrealistic. No, it is completly impossible, as it's a uniue mainhand:

I would love love love love LOVE to be able to dual-weild Claw of the Black Drake (+firey). That would be the most awesome DW EVAR.

currently i just want to finish out my deathdealer's set. i have 2/5 :(

ideally, i want my bonescythe pieces.. but the set pieces go to the main tank warriors in our guild first, then they'll probably go for eleventy billion DKP at first.

my dream? to own a gressil, dawn of ruin. or a hungering cold. or an iblis. or a thunderfury, even though we don't run MC anymore...

wait, wait, Bonescythe is a Rogue set, why would the Warriors take the pieces first? :O Tell em to get their own if they try to bid on Rogue armour!

the shared quest pieces that make bonescythe also make the warrior tier3 set - so since dreadnaught is a big upgrade over the tier2 wrath set for tanking, the guild decided the quest pieces should go to main tank warriors first.

still, whenever the pieces drop.. i want to grab them. :(

My dream would be to get the priest mace that you get from being exalted with the cenarion circle (it's never going to happen - I'm honoured now and that was painful) and the freaky offhand that Sartura drops (that could happen, we're killing her every week now).

Oh, and the faith hat and shoulders that looks like a halo and wings! (also won't happen, we won't be in Naxx when the expansion comes out)

The fish weapons are sooooOOOOOOOOooooo cool! One of our warriors has them and it's so awesome when he transforms into a tiger. :)

Hmm, I actually just finished my dream gear set for now, full Striker's and rest Cryptstalker. :) But I guess full Cryptstalker would always be nice... I would die from happiness as well if I could get the Eye of Nerub and Soulstring. T_T

Yeah the fist weapons are awesome. I kinda wish there was the extra option - choose to transform into tiger, or panther :) Or tiger form for male characters, panther for females. rrrrawr, panthers. (Arlokk's Panther form also very much reminds me of the genetically-engineered Panther-like gargoyle from Disney's Gargoyles animated show.. damn I'm a geek.. lol)

And grats on achieving the dream gear set, woot! Post a screenie, show it off, you've earned it ;)

oooh! Good luck on the PVP! I really wanted to try for rank11 but with school/work it's not happening, I'm going for rank 8 on my Rogue and Warrior though. Almost there on the rogue, halfway to rank7 on my warrior. :) I love the look of the PVP sets. The blue PVP sets are very close to epic in stats, just I guess they had to be distinguished from the epic set in the higher ranks somehow.

Congrats on very-much-almost-Legionnaire!

If it wasn't for college, I probably would have hit rank 10 to finish my PvP blue set on my paladin about a week ago. I'd made it to rank 9, then my PvP time suddenly went out the window when college started and I dropped to rank 8. So I'm in 4/6 blue PvP set now, I'd like to finish it at some stage.

My dream gear... Avenger set. It's the only non-PvP set that's properly designed around a retri build. Judgement for healbotting, and because it's HAWT :)

Weapon-wise? The chances of me ever seeing any of my dream weapons are negligible... but Dark Edge of Insanity would rock. Also, Hammer of Ji'zhi or Herald of Woe. (I'm 31 retri, slow 2-handers rock) For my healbot set, Lok'Amir Il Romathis and Lei of the Lifegiver.

yeah i'm really looking forward to getting rank 8 so I can retire my Rogue from the PVP grind, and advance my Warrior instead of hoping each week that she at least stays at the same rank instead of dropping, heh. :) College is more important. I wish they'd completed the blue PVP set at rank 9 though.

And, very cool :) gives ya something to look forward to, anyway!

The alliance priest pvp set. So much nicer than the horde one. :(

hee! Looks very cool on your char though! I saw a Paladin in a BG the other day with Shaman shoulders, not sure how he got them to drop, but they were the TV-antenna-looking ones. :/

Hehe, are you going to start a Draenei Shaman at expack?
I'm so very tempted to play a Draenei of some kind, just my main server is Horde and I'll probably be lvling my Rogue to 70, and trying a BE hunter and pally...

Eh, my dreams are simple... level up tailoring enough to make myself robe of the void. Oh, and, afford the recipe and mats. And get beyond level 50 (I'm kinda stuck right now.)

So, an impossible dream after all XD

Ah, you'll get there eventually. My husband's 60 'Lock finally got his Robe of the Void... it took us many many runs through Dire Maul to collect the Felcloth. *sigh* But my priest did get a Mooncloth Robe out of the deal too. :)

You'll get there eventually, for sure! The lvl50s do feel like they take forever, though, my Warrior feels stuck at 54 at the moment. But you'll get there.

BTW, a decent Felcloth farming place is in Azshara, at the Satyr camps. ;)

For PvP?

5/8 Nightslayer, 4/9 Bonescythe, Kingsfall and Blessed Qiraji Pugio.

For PvE?
Full Bonescythe
Gressil, Dawn of Ruin
Iblis, Blade of the Fallen Seraph

Not getting anything of that, unfortunately. If I'm lucky I might get the fish from AQ40 before the expansion hits, though.

ooooh. ;) Well you never know, you might be able to get more of that than you think. Besides, it looks like the expack will have some uber quest reward gear that is better than the epics we know today..

We just this thursday began with Naxx - meaning that no, we won't kill Kel'Thuzad before expack hits. I'm not fuzzed over that, though - I don't PvP (but it'd be a sweet set for PvP... 120 energy, hiiiigh crit chance, and energy back on critical specials... mmm... hello Seal Fate), and I'm well aware of the quest rewards topping all but the KT drops (then again, lvl 70 epics have 1-hand stuff that have 88dps ^^).

I'll just take it as I always do - burn my DKP on whatever I can get my filthy hands on :D I got the single scaling trinket in the game last BWL run (Venomous Totem - scales better than anything else you can get from AQ/ZG/MC+. Especially if you consider the importance of poisons in expack). HoJ scales as well, of course, but... I doubt 2% more attacks (that resets your main-hand swing at that) is that much of a boost at 70, compared to some of the static trinkets I've seen (crit rating, attack power, hit rating).

My dream would be that guns would be just as good as bows, becuase now they are not. :-( I want to continue to use guns, but at the moment purple guns are simply not as good as purple bows. No fair at all. This the best gun I could find (damn cool looking to!) that I would really love to have: Dragonbreath Hand Cannon. But it is still not as good as Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers. Now where is the justice in that??? *grumble*
