Has there ever been a feature more eagerly anticipated than Transmogrification? If there is, I sure haven’t seen it. So many options! So much potential for nostalgia! The future has arrived, and its name is World of Dresscraft.
Of course, for every person who can’t wait to dig out their old Tier 1 or Tier 0.5 sets, there’s someone who is going to gleefully turn their fearsome, godly “I’m-About-to-Kill-Deathwing” armor into a neon nightmare Burning Crusade clown suit. Blizzard has taken a few steps to try to prevent this, but let’s be honest – where there’s a will, there’s a way.
And Judgement? When Transmog was announced, it seemed like every Paladin in the world was going to use Judgement as their Transmog look of choice! Put up your hand if you know, have seen, OR ARE a Paladin wearing original or purple-recolor Judgement.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome-looking set! We just found it hilarious how everyone was going to use it.
My guild even joked how funny it would be if our two Paladins transmogged the original red/yellow Judgement, and our other plate wearers (two Warriors and a Death Knight) used purple Judgement. The mental image of half the raid standing around looking identical was too funny not to use.
Transmogalypse NAO!
When it were announced, Kinnavieve dutifully ran TBC dungeons fer the purple set. And then the realities what every dang paladin would want it set in, and she went fer some less awesome but more uniquified outfits.
Oh man, what if there’s a leather and a plate armour set that look the same (or at least thematically similar)? You could have an ENTIRE RAID wearing the same uniform 😀
Bwahaha. Yeah..
As much as it is descended from T2, I’m keeping the T12 look for quite a while. Though, our main tank was rocking the Scourge Invasion / T2-alike gear last night and THAT is one sexy set.
I think paladin T12 was quite nice, and I definitely enjoy still seeing paladins wearing it! I may actually un-transmog the gear I have presently. I love the Aldori Legacy Defender, but it’s a bit large on my back!
Nooooo! I thought I was going to be a special snowflake by using the Crystalforge set.
�?
It’s probably still one of the less common sets, I haven’t seen anyone else using it, if it makes you feel any better. 😉
I’m holding out for T13 on my pally.
I remember watching Vid draw the bottom panel for this. She’s such a fantastic artist! I was wholeheartedly looking forward to this, as just by the art itself, you could tell what the punchline was.
As usual, the two of you do amazing work! Keep it up 🙂
Thanks, Ash! It was fun to draw! 😀
I’m not a Paladin.. but a warrior in Purple Judgement gear ^_^ I probably get a couple double takes when people realize im not a paladin.
That gnome in the purple Judgement isn’t a paladin, either! ;D
Judgement? Purple Judgement? Pffft. I have a PLAN for my death knight, and if I ever get back to playing WoW regularly, I will enact it, and she will look like A NEON NIGHTMARE here to BLEED YOUR EYES DRY.
My warlock, though… Malefic Helm + anything else I could get below it. Malefic Helm is the greatest. Just looks a little goofy on a worgen, that’s all.
Screenshots or it didn’t happen!
You’re forgetting the third Judgement recolor, which is probably somewhat of a rarity now: The Blessed Battlegear of Undead Slaying from the scourge invasion. I’m rocking that, along with my Argent Dawn tabard and Argent Champion title.
Nah, we didn’t forget it, but opted not to include it because it’s no longer obtainable, making it much rarer to be available for folks to Transmog to. 😉 It is really nice though, enjoy it! Thanks for your comment.
Prefer T6 Pally set for my SUnwalker, harder to get than T2 and looks better. No dress and such. 😛
I need to know what that… warrior? is wearing in the second panel. It’s hilarious xD
It was randomly selected plate gear of the most eye-jarring persuasion I could find. I have to ask that if I tell you, you promise not to reproduce it, for the GOOD OF ALL MANKIND.
Helm: Amani Mask of Death
Shoulder: Conqueror’s Spaulders
Chest: Avenger’s Breastplate
Legs: Avenger’s Legguards
Boots: Windroc Greaves
Gloves: Thatia’s Self-Correcting Gauntlets
Right Hand: Cookie’s Tenderizer
Left Hand: FISH, it’s just a random fish, and fish aren’t actually transmoggable but in my imagination they were.
My Pally is wearing the Purple Justice set for Ret and has a set built around the Roaring Mask of Bethekk (which is just a slight recolor of the Amani Mask of Death) as my Tanking set 🙂
Sadly, no fish…
You know, I hate to tell you, but last night, I was inspired….

Oh no! What have we created??
I’m working on getting a replacement, horrid two-hand sword, but haven’t found anything silly enough 😀
Might I suggest Illidari-Bane Claymore
or Blade of the Titans?
I also started collecting the purple Judgement set (along with the Wrath and Might recolors), but then I started playing around a bit with other stuff I owned, and realized that the helm and shoulders of the white recolor of paladins’ t5 works brilliantly with the rest of the set. Top it off with a Bastion of Light and a Hammer of Atonement and you’ve got yourself an epic set. Now I’m considering collecting the original Judgement set, but with Merciless helm and shoulders, so basically it will be an orange version of the aforementioned set. This way I’ll have two variations of my unique and beautiful set for my two specs. ^_^
FWIW, I just re-transmogged into Judgement yesterday >.> Stupidly though, I did it with my Prot gear, which was supposed to be T6 and Judgement was going to be my healing gear >< I'll re'mog again this week to correct that. It's sorta funny how everyone in guild chips in to find weapons or other accessories that coordinate for each other when we're having Transmog discussions…
And for what it's worth, Sel only Transmogg'd his weapons–he's having too much fun running around in his T13/T12H gear.. �?
Hahaha, how accurate!
Unfortunately I have been farming the purple set for quite a while now with very very little luck. �?
