Inspiration

I have a worgen resto druid that I have been playing a lot of random BG's with when I need a break from my Hunter main. The idea for this set came from the desire to look like an evil healer. So I browsed a few sets and fell for the Dark Phoenix look-alike set for rogues from heroic Firelands.

Challenges

The only real challenges here were to find a matching weapon and cloak, which did not take too long. I wanted a staff that matched the avian theme of this set. All and all and easy outfit to create (farming it however, took a good while).

Bringing it Together

I added the Origin of Nightmares from Naxxramas, and a Cataclysm era cloak to match the purple of the set.

Helm: Dark Phoenix look-alike. I find that a lot of helms look awful on worgen. The muzzle is too long, and it stretches models out. I find that the only way around it is to use helms that don't cover the jaw/chin (or go helm-less, which isn't a bad idea on the bestial worgen). Luckily this helm works very well.

Shoulders: Dark Phoenix look-alike. I like the giant bird shoulders, and the cool purple smoke animation is nice for my dark healer theme.

Chest: Dark Phoenix look-alike. Matching chest, looks awesome.

Shirt: None.

Tabard: None.

Cloak: Cloak of Ancient Wisdom. Has matching dark purple color, and some nice bright purple/pink as well to lighten it up just a touch. Has a few yellow squares on the bottom of the cape, that feel right at home with the yellow accents on the set itself.

Bracers: Flickering Wristbands. Matching off-set gloves.

Gloves: Dark Phoenix look-alike. I like the little bit of yellow from the gloves (and helm and belt) to break up the purple.

Belt: Riplimb's Lost Collar. Matching off-set belt.

Legs: Dark Phoenix look-alike. Thank god it's not a kilt.

Boots: Sandals of Leaping Coals. Matching off-set boots.

Weapon: Origin of Nightmares. Matching bird head at the top, and some nice dark purple wrappings that match. I like that it has a bit of wood texture and coloring as well. The birds head has blue glowing eyes, that match the blue lettering on the cape.

That's it fans! Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions or ideas in the comments below!
