I wanted to use the Replica Shado-Pan Helmet in keeping with the spirit of the expansion, and I've finally found a mog I love. I haven't changed since I finished it. Thought I'd share.
I decided to base my mog around the
Mountainscaler Battleplate set (purchasable in Townlong Steppes), since it has that samurai-ish style; the matching shoulders for this set, however, are too large and make you look top-heavy and goofy, so I fired up WMV and eventually found a subdued shoulder replacement that picks up the grayish-pale green and ridges of the armor. They're a
reward from a post-Cataclysm quest in Tanaris that I had luckily never done.
I matched it with the
Indefatigable Greatcloak, purchasable for JP. It forms a neat, green "T spine", and the rust color picks up the red in the set, with a little fancy flourish at the bottom. I then farmed the
Dreadlord's Blade, since its color reflects the reddish parts, and its model is both unique and looks brutal.
Another decent 2-hander match with a unique model is the
Sword of Justice; the green in it matches fairly well. I just don't like the "tuning fork" look of it.
With Dreadlord's Blade:
