Our guild leader and main tank, Kotaro, got his three meaty fingers on a great pair of shoulders in a heroic ICC run and decided to build a really unique tanking set around them.
This set takes time, luck and a love of retro raiding. The headpiece is one of four eyepatches (one of each armor type) that drop from a rare beholder in Outland. The eye-catching shoulders and hands are heroic ICC 25 (Paladin Tier 10 look alike). The crackly shield and glowy skull boots come from 25 man Ulduar. Bring your friends!
The Argent Avenger is no longer available in the game, but there’s look-alike, the Spellfire Longsword from Mennu the Betrayer in the Slave Pens.
- Crimson Beholder Eye – Collidus the Warp-Watcher (Rare spawn, Netherstorm)
- Rusted Bonespike Pauldrons – Lord Marrowgar (Icecrown Citadel 25 Heroic)
- Fallen Lord’s Handguards – Lady Deathwisper (Icecrown Citadel 25 Heroic)
- Vicious Ornate Pyrium Belt – Blacksmithing
- Colossal Dragonplate Legplates (Warrior Tier 13 Heroic)
- Boots of the Underdweller – General Vezax (Ulduar 25)
- Wisdom’s Hold – Thorim (Ulduar 25)
- Argent Avenger – No longer available, see Spellfire Longsword.
Awesome. How long did it take to put that look together?
A couple weeks of lucky drops – we do weekly retro runs in our guild, so it wasn’t too bad. The eyepatch was a gift from another guildmate
