Inspiration
It all started with that bow. I played through Burning Crusade when it as first released, shortly after leveling to 60 on my first hunter. I never had the chance to earn cool looking gear, as I didn't raid in vanilla. This weapon was the very first time I had gear with a cool animation on it! I held on to this bow forever, reluctantly letting it go in favor of the cross bow that drops in the old Karazhan raid. Now I'm happy to see it once again in a snazzy transmog set.

Challenges
The biggest challenge was finding matching armor and cloak that worked with Valanos' green and purple coloring. The shades are pretty unique, with armor either being too dark or not the right tone.

Bringing it Together
I started out looking through all the sets of quest and BoE greens to see if I could piece together something that worked, but all the shades of purple and green were off. I ended up seeing a complimentary shade of purple in the Cataclysm gladiator's gear, and was very happy when the green in it matched as well! Very rarely do I get lucky enough to be able to use a complete matching set!

Helm: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Shoulders: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Chest: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Shirt: Green Holiday Shirt. The green in this set only matches when viewed at certain angles. This shirt holds down the green, and makes you notice it elsewhere as well.
Tabard: None.
Cloak: Sarannis' Mystic Sheen. Easily obtainable from the first boss in the Mechanar. Purple and green work perfectly.
Bracers: Ruthless Gladiator's. If you wanted to save some Marks of Honor, you could opt to use any smaller sized bracer that doesn't show over the gloves.
Gloves: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Belt: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Legs: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Boots: Ruthless Gladiator's.
Weapon: Valanos' Longbow / Starbolt Longbow
I hope you enjoy this one (and sorry for the delay in posting). Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions in the comments!
