Bruh, I do the most damage to myself, I’ve cut off my own hand at least 2 times.

You’re a troll, you’re basically Spongebob showing Squidward how he can regrow his hands at will.

Leather jacket and black jeans, baby. Catch me at your artisanal barber shop, normies.

( Actually it’s a reinforced leather jacket under a poncho to protect from all weather and a shoulderpad to protect his non dominant shoulder. Then a pair of matching knee high boots and elbow high gloves. Dark denim pants held up with a gunbelt, with an orange sash underneath. )

Like, what they wear?

Cro basically wears Ruthless Gladiators, the “helmet” is different though. Instead its supposed to be a cowl attached to her cloak with the mask.

And what is it made of?

its mostly made of leather with some scale-mail attached in places which is all dyed purple. The scale-mail is the breastplate, leg plates, pauldrons and she has some plating attached to her boots and gloves.

Is it any specific armor which has a special name?

No.

Who made it?

the original leather is Thalassian in design, if you get a closer look at it, but all the colours and design work was obliterated when it was unceremoniously dumped in a bucket of purple dye.

The scale plating is forsaken in design and created by a leather worker who used to live in the Undercity.

How it was made?

Both parts were likely sewn together

The story of it… And did it belong to anyone like… Their mentor?

She died in the leather and has never been able to let it go.

At this point, are we sure Kump isn’t a data-collecting algorithm?

Chieun - being a (rare?) example of a person possessing no magical potential of any kind - therefore makes sure to milk every drop out of what she does have.

For many years now, she’s been a super-heavy armour specialist. With intense physical conditioning and specialised training, she’s sought to push the limits of how heavy - and thus how protective - a suit she can effectively use.

Up until now, she’s mostly used this (repainted blue after she joined the Wun Dynasty).

Now, as she is recovering and about to enter active service with the Fallen Leaf, a rich and generous friend has ensured that she will have a new suit of armour that is both improved and more appropriate.

Good thing all weapons in WoW, especially swords, look capable of piercing through armor like that in a single swing because they’re thicker than your character’s butt.

No offense.

Well, if armour didn’t work, no one would be wearing it.

Yeah, I know. I’m just taking the piss on the fact that I 90% of players I meet think they can break plate (or even mail and scale for that matter) armor with a swing of their sword.

Also, the way most try to cheese it, hitting the gaps in the armor, seems to make people ignore the fact that it’s extremely difficult to do so and, most of the times, highly dangerous.

Light I was strong then…

My approach to that is simple. You can use magical weapons, which is powerful. But nothing stops one from using magical armour, either!

Back to square one with you.

Let’s not derail this thread with unrelated subject. Thank you. :wink:
Nothing against anyone personally. :pray:

For a long time, my tauren has worn big ol’ plate armour that spells the word ‘SUNWALKER’ in capitals. He also carries his iconic mogu mace which he still carries to this day.

At the moment he’s been on the lighter side with some sturdy leather and a bit of plate padding but I plan to go back to the original. I miss my golden cape.

Nah, I just try my best to use common sense and whatever I have available at the time.

Magical armor is all well and good, but it can help so much. In the end, it is a combination of character skill, equipment quality and cleverness in combat.

Every character is different in that regard, but I’d not suggest fighting against a grizzled veteran with a huge warhammer and a massive tower shield, or a Death Knight.

You can fight them, you can win against them, but it’s not going to be easy. It also depends on the OOC factors, obviously. Is the guy / gal you’re fighting being fair with you? Are you being fair with them?

We enter in the territory of RP fighting, which I won’t tread right now, but my point still remains the same; better armor and equipment, better chance of winning against dangerous foes. Especially if you prepare beforehand.

Realize that no weapon and armor is a jack of all trades. Adventurers are supposed to prepare themselves in order to gain the upper hand against stronger foes, that’s how they achieve victory, else they’d stand no chance.

In-game example would be the fact that you had to bring an entire shop worth of potions, reagents, scrolls and whatever just so you could have a SHOT at killing Vanilla bosses.

P.S: Sorry Kump.

Raes wears a helmet made from the boiled marrow of her enemies sculpted into the mighty shape of the badger rampant. It’s covered in the appreciative signatures of awed Horde PoW’s.

Wears a mix of Bloodlust/Bloodforged armour, model wise.

In-game, I say it is a Thorium/Steel alloy, forged using the same techniques as the Blood-Tempered Ranseur Blood Knight’s used to get made. Rare materials, a lot of work, specialist techniques, all done at Silvermoon City forge. Much like Thorium, it is a strong armour that provides a minor (as its an alloy, less than regular Thorium) protection against the various types of magic.

Alry’s was all on sale.

Literally. She was broke before joining the Sisterhood (spent it on Wine) and pretty much just pieced together a ramshackle set. The only thing that’s unique are her Truesilver casting gauntlets.

Her NEXT set tho? That will be alllll custom >:3

Vax’s is just plain ol’ saronite made by the Scourge but it looks different than ingame models, except the helmet and shoulders.

Areo mostly just wears piecemeal leathers and hide, stitched together and repaired over the years. He firmly believes that a person should be self-sufficient, relying on no craft but their own - although he will both give and receive items of sentimental value.

With that in mind, nearly everything he wears and wields he made himself. He’s a proficient, if not spectacular, leatherworker and his armour - which is his only set of clothes - does the job, but isn’t made out of any particularly notable materials; it’s made from whatever was at hand when repairs or adjustments were needed.

None of it is enchanted. This ties in with his general outlook; he has no love for the Arcane and refuses to use it in any shape or form. He will live and fight through his own skill - that way, any victory or defeat is truly his.

His knives are fashioned in the image of the Fangs of Ashamane, and are probably made from something like ironwood. While they aren’t used in actual combat very often, and he uses them for practical means primarily, they aren’t something you’d want to be stabbed with.

Since Teldrassil, he’s taken to wearing a necklace of troll teeth and tusks. They’re trophies taken from defeated members of the Horde, and used as both a show of pride and of intent.
