So, as much as it pains me to admit it I spent some time looking for a matching outfit last night for my female druid. My guild is mostly women and they kept bugging me that my gear doesn't match and I'm not pretty. My response has always been "I'm a bear, cat, or bird 99.9% of the time so who cares" - but I got bored last night.

Anyways, I found a nice red/black leather 5 piece set - gloves, shoulders, robe, helm, pants. Boots are completely covered so no big deal, can't see the wrists either so no big deal. However, the dang belt I have looks like one of the oversized WWF championship belts and is not red or black. It had to be mogged.

Spend some time digging around a few sites to find a new leather belt that I like the looks of - go and get it (2 runs in a vanilla dungeon) and go to transmog it. Little did I see/know/read the patch notes - but not only does it have to match the equipment type (i.e. leather belt) you have to be able to equip it and the belt I went and got is Rogue only.

So lame. Now if the belt came from a rogue quest that indicated rogues are something like Batman and therefore have awesome utility belts fine...but it drops off dungeon trash, why the hell can't a druid wear it.

So what about moggin has annoyed you?

You wanna know how many times I ran Sethekk yesterday to get the sky-hunter swift boots (green/red hunter Tier 2 set)? 34. I counted. Just need pants/belt/bracers (...meh, not visible anyway) now, they're hiding in heroics so I can't spam em.

That you can't transmogrify 1h weapons with hand requirements.

And it sucks that, due to model scaling issues, no matter what I transmogrify my gear to, it still looks fugly on my Worgen. Tiny staff is tiny.

There's a sexist joke in here, but I'm too lazy polite to dig for it right now.

Laptops FTW.

This is my biggest annoyance too. My paladin is sporting Purple Judgement (like half of the paladins out there) and I wanted a matching sword for my tank set. The two I like best (Blade of the Archmage and Continuum Blade) are both caster swords so they're mainhand. My tanking sword is one hand so I can't use either of them. I ended up using The Black Knight because it's a nice looking, but plain sword and the Windwalk enchant is purple so it looks okay.

I also don't like the weapon type restriction for melee weapons because I prefer swords over axes/maces and the 2hand sword from Dragon Soul is kinda lame.

The damn staff is so ugly. Well, not ugly per se, it's just that whenever you equip it, the staff is somehow strapped to your neck instead of your back.

Looks particularly ugly on a male Worgen.

"I heard if you cut off an extremity it'll regenerate a little bigger. Don't believe it."

Because of class restrictions. Shamans can't use swords, paladins can't use daggers, warlocks can't use maces, etc. They can't allow weapon types to switch into other weapon type because you could end up with people using looks of weapons the class can't use. (same reason you can't turn plate into cloth and the like)

Bows/guns/x-bows are exempt from this because all classes that can equip a ranged weapon can use all types so there's no conflict there.

The hand requirement is not only annoying, but for some weapons even toallay frustrating. Take the tanking mace from the first boss in Well of Eternity. Dual-wield tanking is no more, so why couldn't they make the darn thing MH only? The texture on it (the tree stump look) doesn't fit on anything but a druid going for the all natural look, yet you'll find yourself having a really hard time finding yourself something decent for everyone else.

This one was truly an eyesore on my dwarf tankadin, who is wearing the blue/golden Brutal stuff with matching shield (Crest of Lordearon) and Vicious cloak texture. Luckily my blacksmith has a pattern for some blue-ish/golden hammer (Shatterer) that sorta fits everything else.

Then, like Mazra said, there is the scaling. The healer mace from 2nd Well boss looks quite nice actually. Just why in the world do maces on humans have to be so freaking huge? Maybe not so much of a problem for warriors, DKs, and paladins, but for a human priest it just doesn't look right.

Earthwarden. First epic weapon I ever owned. A felt 10 bazillion Steamvault runs to get it. Can't use it for mogging, though, because there just aren't any 2H agility maces around anymore. So one of these days I'm gonna win the roll on Kiril, and I won't be able to turn it into Earthwarden or Squid stick, the only 2 feral druid weapons that are of any significance to me. Yay!

I like the challenge of finding matching set pieces, but it just shouldn't be an impossible task.

That sounds like a good reason except for the fact that there is the requirement that the source for the transmorg has to be equipable so you still wouldn't be able to make your weapon look like something your class can't use.

It's fun trying to find a mace, dagger, axe, and fist weapon that all go with your transmog set.

Isn't it?

Right?

Right?!

The biggest joke in this entire transmogrification thing is that every single Enhancement Shaman has been farming those two fists from Mt Hyjal so they could transmogrify to T5 and look badass.

The only fist weapon that drops in the new heroics is main hand, though, so no dice. Thanks for nothing, etc.
