Things my Demon Hunter Wears, part 2 (outfits 11 – 20)

A collection of Transmogrification Kits actually worn in-game by my Blood Elf Demon Hunter. Outfits are listed from most recent to least recent. Items that are no longer obtainable are marked with an asterisk (*).

20) Child of Blood and Fire

Crown of Woe, Supple Shoulderguards & Waistguard (2-655), Primalstorm Breastplate, Illidari Leggings, Ironpelt Mitts & Boots
This Artifact tint is awarded for completing the level 103 stage of the Order Hall campaign.
For this outfit series, I had planned to use each blade color with the corresponding tattoo color. This magenta/purple-red is the red tattoo color that female Demon Hunters get. Unfortunately, it clashes somewhat with the scarlet/orange-red of the blades. The red tattoo color that male Demon Hunters get would be better for this outfit.

19) Serpent Strike

Bristlebark Pauldrons, Armor of the Fang, Headhunter’s Belt, Luminary Kilt, Toughened Leather Gloves, Supple Boots (3-670)
This Artifact tint is awarded for retrieving Light’s Heart.
This outfit would also be very nice for a Druid or a Monk.

18) Raven’s Sight

Tsanga’s Helm, Poison Protocol Pauldrons (N), Frostwolf Tunic, Replica Wildheart Belt, Kilt of the Night Strider, Fuzzy Gloves + Glowing Wing Bracers (N), Boots of the Forked Road
This Artifact tint was awarded for recovering a Pillar of Creation.
To build this kit, I started with the shoulders. I feel like the chestpiece doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the kit, but I do like the way it displays her tattoos. I’m not quite sure the hat fits, either, but it wanted to be there anyway.

17) Veil of Deception

The Brood Queen’s Veil, Shoulders of the Roiling Inferno (LFR), Torment Ender’s Chestguard, Illidari Belt, Bladefang Legguards, Bat Fur Mitts, Treads of the Dark Hunt
An outfit to complement the default green tint of the Twinblades of the Deceiver — and the corresponding upgraded appearance, of course.
I like the mix of brighter and darker greens in this outfit.
Although it does look pretty nifty and very appropriate for a Demon Hunter, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever use this helm again. When I was looking for a possible hat for this kit — with my usual caveat that if I couldn’t find a hat that was really good, I just wouldn’t use a hat at all — and I tried this one on, the green gem in the center of the band just pulled the whole ensemble together.

16) Fel-Etched Soul

Spaulders of the Unseen, Nightglaive’s Vest, Eighty Silver Links, Blackfathom Leggings, Inscribed Leather Gloves + Illidari Bracers, Sablehide Footwraps, Fel-Etched Glaive
Kiralaira’s previous outfit, which I made to go with the glaives that a newly-created Demon Hunter begins with, looked equally good with these glaives that have been acquired by the end of the starting zone experience. I wanted to make a new and different kit, though, and after a little fiddling around, I came up with this. I liked how the pattern of the contrast color straps on the pants echoes on her legs the pattern of the tattoos on her arms. Then the rest of it was finding other items that were the right sorts of colors to blend into a coherent overall look.

15) Fel-Stitched

Somber Shawl, Headhunter’s Armor, Thatch Eave Vines, Nature-Stitched Kilt, Runesworn Grips, Sablehide Footwraps, Illidari Warglaive
Eight out of the twelve outfits I’ve created for my Demon Hunter since she finished her starting zone have used swords or axes instead of warglaives. Partly this is because of the paucity of warglaive models — there are only four non-Artifact-appearance warglaives (five if we count the Warglaives of Azzinoth). I’d made outfits with the two (three) non-Artifact warglaives that can be obtained outside the starting zone, but I hadn’t yet made any new outfits that used the two warglaives that are obtained as part of the starting zone experience. So I decided to do that, then make a series using the four colors of the base model of the Twinblades of the Deceiver.
(Hey Blizzard, can we get Altruis’ and Leotheras’ warglaive models for player character Demon Hunters, please?)

14) Slayer of Manifestations of Negative Emotions

Cursed Vision of Sargeras, Supple Shoulderguards (1-640), Serpentskin Armor, Cord of Sha Savagery, Blazewing’s Furious Kilt, Gloves of the Blind Stalker, Treads of Illidari Supremacy, Ethereum Phase Blade
The “Sha Stalker” kit in the “Fel Camouflage” collection I posted about 13 months ago was intended to be a mock-Demon Hunter outfit. I chose the Monk T15 lookalike Raiment of Silent Stars chestpiece for that kit to evoke the effect of Demon Hunter tattoos. When I decided to put that outfit on my real Demon Hunter, she needed a chestpiece that would reveal her actual tattoos. The original outfit also used a fist weapon that I thought looked as close to a warglaive as a non-warglaive weapon could get; because Demon Hunters can’t wield fist weapons, I’ve somewhat ironically instead chosen some rather Monk-like swords of jade-colored mist for this version of the outfit.
I should note that I didn’t actually kill the Sha of Anger myself for this screenshot; I went out looking for it and discovered it already down.

13) Illidari Prime

Cursed Vision of Sargeras, Grizzly Jerkin, Infernal Firecord Sash, Cranefeather Britches, Ranger Gloves + Illidari Bracers, Griftah’s Authentic Troll Shoes, Warglaives of Azzinoth
It took Kiralaira 18 weeks to obtain the off-hand Warglaive of Azzinoth. It took her another 13 weeks (31 weeks total) to obtain the main-hand Warglaive of Azzinoth. When she had obtained both of Illidan’s Legendary glaives, I made this attempt to mimic his entire appearance.
Kiralaira only put on the changed horns and hair as a glamour for the photoshoot with Illidan, however, because that appearance made her look like someone else’s Demon Hunter — not mine.

12) BatGirl

Underdweller’s Spaulders (N), Supreme Breastplate, Dusky Belt, Scouting Trousers, Alpha Seal Handwraps + Scouting Bracers, Rapscallion Boots, Warglaive of the Fel Hammer
Surely I’m not the only person who sees this blindfold style and immediately thinks “Batman”?
This is definitely the most spectacular pose in which the Maiev-vs-Illidan plot stun has ever caught me; I couldn’t replicate it if I tried.

11) Age of Aquarius

Raptor Hide Harness, Riplimb’s Lost Collar, Windscale Sarong, Quilboar Skin Gloves + Elunite Empowered Bracers, Ogre-Hunter Boots, Sword of Honor
Kiralaira had gotten a bunch of armor upgrades from doing some questing, so she needed a new outfit. Casting about for an idea, it occurred to me that I didn’t have any saved-up or far-future plans that made use of the turquoise tattoo color.
