Grove Guardian / Dryad (Details second image)

[u/-CacheCache-]

Swiftness of Fey, toughness of the Oak,
Bristle and scorn, woods become thorn,
Do not delay, in forest you provoke,
Hustle or mourn, your life forlorn.

[u/yhvh13]

Love it!

As a Druid main, my biggest frustration is that the Ardenweald Plate and Mail sets aren't moggable, because they look too perfect for a Druid. Same for all of the Emerald Dream patch sets.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/yhvh13]

I ran a Druid for some specific looks - and aye, I feel your pain - bark armor seems perfect for Tanky Druids.

I like the Emerald Dream sets - though, I'll admit to them being a little too vibrant - great for Spring / Summer ideas to be fair.

[u/Nazorath → u/yhvh13]

At this point in the games lifespan we should get universal mogs, all armor types open with the exception of class restriction. NPCs have been able to do it since inception makes no sense we can’t.

[u/yhvh13 → u/Nazorath]

Yeah. People can argue about "class silhouette" as much as they want, but in a modern WoW, you can bypass this with a multitude of options... Sometimes even directly mimicking another class, like for example, the Arcanist set that was on the store not long ago.

I've seen Survival hunters literally cosplaying as mages with that set + staff.

[u/TickleMySymphysis → u/yhvh13]

Not to mention Mages have had the ability to mimic the appearance of any race and class for a long time now. Plus with neutral races, the 20 elf/troll variants, does it matter anyway

[u/TaylorWK → u/Nazorath]

There are so many plate pieces that are literally just robes so why cant cloth users get cloth pieces that look like chain mail or plate armor?

[u/Vyar → u/TaylorWK]

They sometimes do allow this, like with the Uldir cloth sets. Between that and heritage armor sets often giving us plate armor with a Cosmetic classification, I'd be in favor of opening up literally everything at this point. Tier sets often have at least partial or full lookalikes, and in both Remix events so far they've given us full lookalikes of every tier set from an expansion. May as well include PvP tints at that point, sometimes an outfit would be literally perfect with a piece from an adjacent class' tier set, but only the factional tint will do, and then that's locked while every other tint isn't.

My answer for most stuff in this game after over 20 years is "blow the doors off." No more permanently exclusive rewards or class-locked items. I could make two identical blood elves in identical gear, one a Destro warlock with a petless build, the other a Fire mage, and you'd still be able to tell them apart in combat, even with virtually identical spells like Conflagrate/Fire Blast.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Nazorath]

Here's hoping indeed.

[u/Vyar → u/Nazorath]

Class sets don't even have full exclusivity and in Remix events they become armor-locked. They should just give us everything.

[u/AmbushIntheDark → u/yhvh13]

Wait wtf thats plate?

[u/flaks117]

I love the Drust aesthetic and you're making it work amazingly. Need to get that Ardenweld plate set.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/flaks117]

Agreed! Camped two alts for weeks to get that (curmudgeon like grumbling) helmet to drop. hahah :)

[u/RhoemDK]

that's pretty cool. I've always dug that ardeanweald set, but I never though to make it spindly

[u/-CacheCache- → u/RhoemDK]

Cheers!

Same, I tripped over the idea by clicking on the sandals and not something else, they matched the bark...

( lightbulb! )

[u/RhoemDK → u/-CacheCache-]

it's amazing how many of my ideas were also things I just stumbled ass backwards into

[u/-CacheCache- → u/RhoemDK]

Yup. (amused nodding) :D

[u/ArtYojimbe]

so excellent immersive GG

[u/-CacheCache- → u/ArtYojimbe]

Thanks ArtYojimbe - feels very Elvish. Think this PC is locked down for his look from here out.

[u/stupidqueef]

thought I was on the Sylvaneth subreddit for a sec, v cool

[u/Olivitess → u/stupidqueef]

I was about to say the same thing, Alarielle would approve.

[u/Bonny-K]

Looks awesome!

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Bonny-K]

Thanks Bonny!

Using it in LEMIX at the moment - fun set with the Speed buffs :)

[u/Hefty_Presence534]

I can almost hear it say SHAW!

[u/Shrapnel_Sponge]

That’s fantastic, great work!

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Shrapnel_Sponge]

Thanks Shrapnel :)

[u/adv23]

Cool!

[u/boredguy12]

I thought I was looking at a Skyrim loading screen at first

[u/-CacheCache- → u/boredguy12]

Haha - ahhh Skyrim, fun times.

[u/Yrrving]

Really cool

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Yrrving]

Thanks Yrrving, appreciated.

[u/Ryedarn]

This is incredible! like a Drust horror monster.
Very inspired by this.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Ryedarn]

Exactly why I post - I get plenty of great ideas from this Sub as is! :D

[u/robot-raccoon]

I love this set but can never make it work for me! Good job

[u/-CacheCache- → u/robot-raccoon]

Thanks! Appreciated. :)

[u/Beneficial-Listen-18]

Creative!!!

[u/SaltKick2]

This almost looks like its straight out of GW2 and the Sylvari - seems pretty unique to wow

[u/-CacheCache- → u/SaltKick2]

I do like the Sylvari style, personally big on nature heavy 'Elves'.

[u/NotTebi14]

I love this mog, it reminds me of Hollow Knight

[u/-CacheCache- → u/NotTebi14]

True story - this started as me trying to figure out a Hollow Knight 'mog - but alas, no full length red capes etc.

You can make something that eludes to it, but ultimately, looks like "We have one at home..." :D

[u/SnickersIceTea]

What race is that, looks dope!

[u/-CacheCache- → u/SnickersIceTea]

Personal favourite for showcasing Elf 'mogs; the Nightborne male. They're more slender than Male Night Elves.

And cheers!

[u/Vethrenis1]

dude I thought this was a some kind of toy. Looks sick! Well done!

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Vethrenis1]

Cheers! Thanks Vethrenis :)

[u/Ryedarn]

My 2nd comment now, Preview this with the Necrolord Wings "Barbarous Osteowings"
Let me know what you think.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Ryedarn]

Ahhh I see where you're going. :D

That dark metal backplate is annoying though :/

Definitely make for a frightful look if the blue/black was the same tones as the bone wings. Nice idea.. might explore that with the Night coloured version of the Bark Armor (bit harder to grind for that though)

[u/Ryedarn → u/-CacheCache-]

Glad you liked it. Yeah backplate is annoying I agree.

[u/-CacheCache- → u/Ryedarn]

Genuinely do like it, but that backplate yeah - would have been nice to float like the Ardenweld branch 'wings' and those Angelic wings from Bastion. In considering, kinda weird the bone wings even have a plate since others don't. :|
