Titan-forged Bow for Legion?

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

My Troll hunter won't be using a gun, thank you. But I do plan to off-spec BM for Legion. So eventually I'll want to do the BM artifact quest, which is all about a weapon built by the Titans. So I'm looking ahead and trying to set aside a bow model to transmog when I get this weapon.

For role play purposes, I want it to look like something that might have come from the Titans. For aesthetic purposes, I want it to fit my favorite transmogs. Here are a couple of options. Which do you prefer, and do you know of something that might be even better?

Thanks for taking time to share your thoughts!

Cryptfiend Slayer - has dragons and looks amazing!


Avalanche - matches all my colors and comes from Uldar!

Ulduar bows maybe?

Avalanche is from Ulduar.

Try the Tortos bow, Shattered Tortoiseshell Longbow. Colors seem to fit, and it's pretty titanish in design,I think it looks even better than the Artifact bow variant.

The Ulduar bow is from the Cache of Winter (Hodir).

The Cryptfiend Slayer is from Halls of Reflection (N). It's in the cache you get on the gunship after you escape, so RP-wise might have come from anywhere.

Looking for it on Wowhead now...

My first thought was, "That looks like Avalanche!" (recolor). Sure enough, it's a 'same model as'.

Hmmm... Definitely like it more than the Artifact bow variant. Looks vey Titanish. But also kind of fat/bulky for my toon? What do you think?

that ones cool too, i think someone made a xmog set particularly for that bow. i have used http://www.wowhead.com/item=35590/drakkari-hunting-bow for a while now

I'm leaning toward Avalanche. My guild tabard doesn't show in the Dressing Room pics, but I think it will all come together well.

Yes! I use the Drakkari Hunting Bow now on live. I loved that whole zone as a troll and that bow fits my character concept perfectly. But I'm thinking for the Legion BM quests I should find a middle ground - moving beyond tribal troll to reflect Titan influence, while stopping short of looking like I'm a gnome wannabe.

So first I have to farm Avalanche - 18% drop rate so maybe 5-6 weeks? - then I have to put it away until I get the actual artifact to use it on.

Still open to other ideas if someone has one.

I've already got Cryptfiend Slayer in void storage. Dragons do have Titan/Keeper connections, so it would make sense too.

I'll probably change my mind a dozen times between now and launch day.
What are the rest of you planning to do with your artifacts? Especially hunters?

- - - Updated - - -

It may come down to whether I decide I want the bow to blend more (Avalanche) or pop out/grab the eye (Cryptfiend Slayer). Neither clashes with my current transmog. With the dragon bow, I think the bow will be the first thing people notice. With Avalanche, the bow is just part of the overall image with my Shadow Hunter guild tabard, etc.

idk if someone has said this or not but the bm artifacts final variant is a bow afaik

But that's the bow that looks like a gnome invention, right?

Fun fact about Tortoiseshell, it doesn't shoot arrows, but lightning bolts instead.
