World Of Warcraft: 8 Best Transmog Sets For Shamans

The transmogrification system has been in World of Warcraft since Cataclysm, allowing players to apply different looks to their current armor while not degrading their stats. Ever since the introduction, Blizzard has continued to make some incredible transmog sets for the different classes. Players have even made their own sets by mixing and mashing various armor pieces.

Shamans arguably have had the most consistently eye-popping sets in the game. With various sets that can match parts of the class fantasy, shamans have no shortage of armor. Their transmogs only increased with beauty when Blizzard started to implement special effects on armor, such as making it glow or having lightning arc around it, further solidifying how eye-catching shamans could be.

8 Embrace Of The Living Mountain

A Fitting Set For Different Shaman Class Fantasies

• Can drop from various bosses in Hellfire Citadel.
• Can appear as a rare drop inside Iron Fleet Treasure Chests.
• Can be created from Hellfire’s Protector tokens.

The fel has always been a looming presence in Warcraft. Mostly identified with the Burning Legion, some shamans in the lore have wielded its power, the most notable one being Gul’dan, who was a shaman before he became a warlock. The Mythic version of the Embrace of the Living Mountain transmog allows shaman players to adopt a corrupted shaman fantasy.

Normal and Heroic offer variations of the set, being different colors suiting more of a traditional shaman. The transmog can also change depending on the chest, being a typical piece, or a robe.

7 Conqueror’s Worldbreaker Regalia

A Great Set To Represent The Power Of A Shaman

• Can drop from various bosses in Ulduar, and from Emalon the Storm Watcher in the Vault of Archavon.
• Can be bought from Bragund Brightlink for Wayward Protector tokens.

Given that WoW came out in 2004, most of the transmogs from back then don’t look as high-definition as some of the sets released in contemporary expansions. However, there are still some that hold up even today, with the Conqueror’s Worldbreaker Regalia being one.

There is a version for 10-man and 25-man difficulty, both of which keep the same unique notion of a piece of rock being held by chains on the shoulders, almost showing the power of the shaman. It might not look as fitting on say a draenei or pandaren compared to an orc, but it can still be worth farming as Ulduar also drops a mount.

6 Elements Of Infused Earth

A Picture-Perfect Transmog For Shamans

• Can be obtained via Vault of the Incarnates.

The Vault of Incarnates had to do with elemental powers, and so it makes sense for an aptly designed shaman set to come out of it. The Mythic variant is a stormy-themed set that fits with Raszageth’s aesthetic.

The other versions of the transmog fit extremely well with the identity of a shaman. Normal and Raid Finder offer an earthly and rocky look to the set, while Heroic gives an icy appearance. There is even a PvP set that uses the same appearance but is colored to look like lava.

5 Tyrannical Gladiator’s Ringmail Armor

A Set That Looks Great Especially On Horde Characters

• Can be purchased from Roo Desvin for Horde, or from Armsmaster Holinka for Alliance, in exchange for Marks of Honor.

PvP sets have never been as popular as PvE transmogs in WoW, as it isn’t the main draw of the game. However, some of the sets earn the possibility of achieving due to their good looks.

The Tyrannical Gladiator’s Ringmail Armor is a set that definitely garners attention. The set draws comparisons to some armor sets druids have available to them, with it fitting Horde characters more than the Alliance due to their penchant for the primal.

4 Garb Of Venerated Spirits

A Transmog Perfect For Any Troll Players

• Can drop from various bosses in Antorus, The Burning Throne.

Shamans have always had more presence in the Horde. The Alliance tends to dabble in the light, while a lot of the Horde races are more earthly and grounding, using the powers of the elements.

The Garb of Venerated Spirits exemplifies this, with the set looking like regalia that troll shamans would wear. Obviously, the set looks best when worn on a troll, Zandalari or not, but it still looks great on other races.

3 Vision Of The Greatwolf Outcast

A Set That Matches The Shaman Class Identity

• Can be bought from Theozhaklos the Curious for Emerald Marks of Mastery.
• Can be bought from Kirasztia for Flame-Warped Curios.

A core part of shamans in WoW is their ability to turn into a ghost-wolf, with players having an ability that allows them to do just that. While not as fast as a druid’s shapeshifting abilities, it is no less valuable for traversing areas that don’t allow mounts.

The Vision of the Greatwolf Outcast plays into this fantasy, with ghost wolves appearing on the shoulders of the armor. The colors of the ghost-wolves will also change depending on the difficulty, allowing for unique player-created ghost-wolf-themed sets.

2 Windspeaker’s Regalia

A Transmog To Demonstrate The Power Of The Elements

• Various bosses in Blackrock Foundry can drop pieces of the set.
• Various bosses in Highmaul can drop pieces of the set.

The Windspeaker’s Regalia perhaps epitomizes the identity of a shaman, with the set sprouting wind plumes from the shoulders that fit the abilities of the class. Normal and Heroic difficulty only change the color of the armor from the set, while keeping the wind effects.

However, Mythic difficulty changes the set vastly, altering it to look more like armor than robes. It also changes the shoulders to hold a spherical rock with lightning arcing around it.

1 Regalia Of Shackled Elements

A Perfect Set To Show The Destructiveness Of The Elements

• Various bosses in The Nighthold can drop pieces of the set.
• Various bosses in The Emerald Nightmare can drop pieces of the set.

The lore behind shamans tells how they wield the powers of the elements of Azeroth and must be in good standing in order to do so. Of course, the elements of a planet can be wielded for different uses, and the Regalia of Shackled Elements represents their destructive side.

All versions of the set can fit in a player’s particular vision of a shaman. The Normal variant is a lightning-themed aesthetic, the Heroic version is a fel green set, and the Raid Finder transmog is a purple crystalline outfit. Mythic difficulty presents an eye-catching fiery version of the set.
