Inspiration

Back in the day, raiding through Outland, I thought that the Demon Stalker shoulders were hands down the greatest looking in the game. I went insane when I finally got mine on my first hunter, an Orc. I wanted to relive that glory with a new set for my current Human hunter, but ran into some issues.

Challenges

While this gear looks great on a big beefy Orc, the gloves and boots look incredibly thick on a human and the whole set ends up looking like a snow suit. Once I decided to switch out the gloves and boots, I had to look at matching up the rest of the gear as well while keeping the fel-green theme of the original shoulders.

Another challenge was the helm/shoulder combo. The shoulders ride pretty high on a Human frame, and they make the helm appear as if it just isn't fitting right.

With those considerations in mind, I slapped this together.

Bringing it Together

I ended up combining the Der'izu chain set from Outland with the helm and cloak from the Rockhide set from Draenor.

Helm: I love being able to see my hunters face. This piece matches the off-green colors of the shoulders without looking out of place.

Shoulders: Those beauties.

Chest: Der'izu mail with nice bright green.

Shirt: A darker grey shirt to match the head and shoulder pieces when viewed from the back.

Tabard: None.

Cloak: Matching cloak to the Rockhide Casque. It looks like it has blades sewn into it which goes very nicely with our choice of weapon.

Bracers: You can't see them under the gloves, but I just went with the Rockhide here as well.

Gloves: Der'izu.

Belt: Rockhide. This belt is actually super nice for transmogs when paired with the casque. They both have the same clasp at the front, and the belt adds a loose band of fabric the same color as the casque that does a great job of making a jumbles together set look like it was meant to be.

Legs: Der'izu.

Boots: Der'izu.

Weapon: Black Bow of the Betrayer. If we're hunting demons, what better weapon than that of an actual Demon Hunter? The bow brings some awesome fel energy effects, and looks to be made of blades which matches well with the cloak. It also has some dark brown tones to match the cape and shoulders.
