I find it so overly absurd, that they designed all the other clan transmog helmets (even the Laughing Skull helms) to work on other races than orcs, but then - for no reason - decided only to design the Frostwolf helm to work on orcs, despite the original plan for the Frostwolf set was a "special" one....
Amazing sig, done by mighty Lokann
So they take away the most iconic piece of the set?
Wow... that is indeed some lame excuse. We waited so long for this set and then they left out the best part? Who was responsible to gave this decision a go??? ...
The clan sets were originally intended only for Orc NPCs, they only came up with the idea of giving them to players later on. When they picked the 4 they wanted to put through the War Mill/Bunker they then had to go and re-fit all the helms for the other races. They didn't bother re-fitting the Frostwolf head because it wasn't going to be obtainable.
Now that players have convinced them to add the Frostwolf set, they would need to re-fit it for 26 races+genders. Something they apparently don't have time for right now.
Problem is, there was a tweet that pretty much said, when WoD was still in Beta i might add, that they're going to add the Frostwolf armor.
Then there was this tweet a few weeks ago that they don't have plans to add the Set, now it was added.
Just seems like a communication issue on Blizzards side, but still pretty dumb to design a helmet that only fits on Orcs if you had the plan to make it obtainable for players.
I'm pretty disappointed that it's not a cosmetic set. I wanted to use it on my shaman.
I only play a paladin but the very least this really should have been mail. Were they just worried to be favoring Shaman since Shaman got an exclusive cosmetic set in SoO and no other class did?
I keep hoping for some sort of word from Blizzard about this, or some new patch notes in new builds, but nothing so far. D: Still hoping it'll be cosmetic though! Or that they'll make a second version for mail (and maybe plate) users.

My hunter is SO sad that she can't wear this :/
Frostwolves are hunters/shaman (and warriors)!
They finally replied to a tweet about it: https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/sta...18306686410752 And apparently they think a toy with 30 min duration and a 2 hour cooldown is the same as a transmog set. :/ So disappointed.

Let's be objective, the set needs the helm! And why? Because the Alliance counterpart as the helm! Also i understand it looks like a leather set but most of the frostwolf clan are shamans, hunters and warriors! So i think it would have to be a available to all.
Also the helm is the one that the npc's use not the one that Durotan uses so it's no problem to give it to players, because the set without the helm just feels incomplete IMO!
I think the same! Because it's just stupid! Since all the FW use the tier and we are grouping with them saving their draenor so we should be abble to use it also. And just put the damm helm please.
I have a Orc Hunter with the title of the Frostwolves so i think that tier would fit like a glove. Also there are many Shamans that want to use it also.
I kinda dont want to stop talking about this topic. Shamans wanting to Drek thar transmog or Hunters wanting to have a frost wolf pet and live that transmog should totally have access to this item.
