The Death Knight transmog thread!

5.2 relieved the transmog restrictions. you can transmog any 2H to any other 2H if they share animations (i.e. swords/maces/axes and staves/polearms).

[Lucetia]

Hola fellow DK's. Picked up a new 2H axe from the new Heroic Scenarios tonight and realized I have like no 2H Axes in my bank/void storage for transmog. Need something that would go well with either the T10 Heroic DK (Red/Green set) or the T10 normal (Black/Purple set). Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Well for starters, you know since 5.2 you can transmog any 2H Sword/Axe/Mace into each other? So if you can't find any decent Axes might want to look at Maces or Swords.

As for your sets themselves, not sure of any offhand that would fit them. You could always browse here: http://www.worldofwardrobes.net/weap...o-handed-axes/

Just to clarify the above, Gorehowl drops from Prince Malchezzar, NOT Nightbane (who was often regarded to be the last boss at the time).

Decent 2h transmogs... For purple sets, you have this beast: http://www.wowhead.com/item=30722/ethereum-nexus-reaver
Very rare. If you can get hold of one they look amazing though, I have one on my DK with the Purple Judgement Recolour (paladin tier 2). According to wowhead - "the only weapon with a sparkle and glow at the same time".

This is another good axe: http://www.wowhead.com/item=50709

But remember, the restrictions are lifted now, so you could also use a mace or a sword transmog on your axe.

black axes can do wonders for DK sets.

Some good looking ones for the normal tier 10:

Wyrmclaw Battleaxe

Death Striker

more purple-y looking ones:

Hellslayer Battleaxe

Dark edge of Insanity (if you don't mind the eyeball)

Earthen Sunderer (a smallish axe, but the color matches pretty well)

Experimental specimen slicer (heroic)

Stormedge


As for the santified Red/green set:

Wrathful Gladiator's Decapitator (matches it about perfectly)

Skullstealer greataxe (heroic)

Neretzek

Hewing Axe of the Marsh

[Leothas]

One of those two from Blackwing Lair:

I like Reforged Trollbane myself. Looks like a big silver stone type axe that I feel like a big touch Orc DK wielding

Those are some nice suggestions, some of those I totally forgot about (BWL ones in particular). Yeah I did know about Gorehowl lol, spent enough time in there looking for transmog stuff and farming what not. http://www.wowhead.com/item=30722/ethereum-nexus-reaver this bad boy is on the AH right now and whoever is selling wants 47k for it, ain't happening! The http://www.wowhead.com/item=31318 I always thought looked pretty cool too. I'll have to get to farming soon I think.

I did look at something while I was at the transmogrifier (sp) I had my new 2H Axe equipped and I tried testing out Xmogging my polearm and it wouldn't do it. So I'm not sure if that change has been implemented yet in the game with 5.3? Maybe there are still some restrictions? Cause I was using http://www.wowhead.com/item=95877 before transmogged to http://www.wowhead.com/item=40497. I'll check the game and this thread again tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions so far though!

Check out Mogit - A Transmog Addon - Get in on Curse:
http://www.curse.com/search?type=addons&search=MogIt

That way you can load all the gear, and weapons in-game and see what looks best with the gear you have.
I'd recommend starting with pants and working yourself up if you're building a set yourself. I found that it was easier to get matching sets that way.

Load the addon - Load the Weapon, Armor (the addon tells you what to do) And start looking It tells you where to get the gear, and droprate/price.

Good luck

You can only transmogrify things that have the same weapon animations. Polearms and Staves use different ones, so you can't transmog those over an Axe, Sword, or Mace.

[Totle]

You can head to icy-veins.com

Go to the DK section and click on 2h axe.

This will show you every 2h axe available in game to DKs

[Dossou]

Heroic Gurth for the Purple T10
Worldcarver for the Red T10

[bigbad]

I like normal gurth(red) or heroic gurth (purple)

[Lucetia]

You can head to icy-veins.com

Go to the DK section and click on 2h axe.

This will show you every 2h axe available in game to DKs

Just wanted to thank you for that. Didn't even know they had a section for that until you pointed it out. Much easier format as it displays them all on one page vs the worldofwardrobes site I was using.

Thanks!

This is definitely helpful, that would explain why the transmog I tried didn't work!

This is very handy indeed! Nice to know!

current transmog... not a lot goes well with worgens -.-

[Dead_MAX]

This is a pretty simple mog I threw together. Planning on making a light blue version using the DK starter recolor and the tier 15 Heroic Shoulders/Belt.

Good job man, shoulders/belt looks great with this set. The weapo might be different, but the armor? It's awesome.

[du4no]

Some excellent transmogs in here, giving me some great ideas!

[Murdos]

Vmagik, try the T13 JP vendor Boots, the Kneebreakers. They actually match the blue T10 pretty well on Worgen.

Cheers man, yeah they're not bad... Been through pretty much all of the boot possibilities and those woe breeder ones (or just the starter blue dk ones) seem as close as I can get. The general colour scheme matches the armor and the turquoise detailing matches the glow on the skull graphics. Just a shame about the way the strange pattern on the back of them stretches loads when you're a worgen. Does mirror the detailing on LFR gurthalak though.

I live in hope that one day the proper boots will be added in somewhere ;-)

[Ruck]

hey, guys, quick and simple questions.
Which cloaks and weapons fit T15 normal for DK?

As for weapons, I assume oldschool Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood fits quite nice. Is there anything else to come in-line with this 'reddish and aggro' theme?

Thanks!

Id also suggest the following for weapons

Huge Thorium Battle Axe- http://www.wowhead.com/item=12775
Gorehowl (My fav)- http://www.wowhead.com/item=28773
Dreadlord's Blade- http://www.wowhead.com/item=37108


as for cloaks, on top of what Max suggested, i suggest
Cloak Of Subjugated Power- http://www.wowhead.com/item=33304
Indefatigable Greatcloak- http://www.wowhead.com/item=77099
