Druid Transmog

[Venziir]

Out of curiousity: am I the only one who finds the use of dead animal body parts for druid armor unappealing (i.e., paws, heads, whole wings)?

A druid is all about preservation and respect, ie if you killed a bear for its vide, you'd use every part of it. You'd wear the Paws and face to honor the spirit of the Bear and you'd believe that doing so would allow you to tap into the strength of the bear. Like native american Shamans did (and still do).

I know you're going for a gladiator look, but all I see is bdsm rofl

Oh but I am going for Mad Max bdsm look :P Cant wait to put it on Kul Tiran

[Malmmoc]

I haven't seen the new Mad Max. Heard good things though. That does look like a pretty good approximation of the movie look though. Well done!

That is actually from old The Road Warrior :P Second Mad Max movie from 1981.

That's not what I was asking, but thanks!

Depends if you view your druid as a peace loving hippy or king of the jungle, really. Lore-wise, they're more on the hippy side.

So, from a roleplay standpoint, then, it makes sense. Let me rephrase: does anyone personally dislike the animal parts used on some druid armor?

I don't care for the T21 bear stuff. If I wanted to look like a bear I have bear form. I prefer the more tribal method of furs that would go well with the idea of shape shifting. Namely like the night elf druid in early cinematics and Nidalee style in LoL. A shape shifter essentially wearing an animal pelt just feels weird.

Thanks for the response!

Not really. Sometimes you have to hunt, or otherwise kill animals. Like @Venziir said, using every available part of the slain beast is the best way to honor the beast's sacrifice, and absorb its essence. In that way, Bearmantle set is pretty good druid set.

Two druids enter, one druid leaves.
Cant wait to switch him to Kul Tiran strongman. Omg this will be perfect for him.

Nice, I instantly saw Lord Humungus, but two man enter, one man leaves is from Beyond Thunderdome!

Not quite got the right pieces but I tried an alliance themed skin to represent my faction for BFA!

Now this I like!
I did very similar at Legion start, wanted to show my Alliance colours, while still maintining my feral savagery.

Boots are too roguish, but it was my 1st ever transmog tbf!

We had similar ideas! Starting to think of a night elf/darnassus themed transmog after the atrocity we just endured... Anyone got ideas?
