Aberrus | Kor'kron 501st

Season 3 is about to finish, and I never posted about the season 2 transmog I earned. I know it’s not the most exciting aspect of the game, but I spend a significant amount of time chasing these sets. Let’s take a look

Class sets

Shaman – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I love the red heroic tint. I could use the mythic tint too. The normal is okay, and I don’t think I’d ever use the LFR tint.

Warrior – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

None of the four Aberrus tints are bad for warriors. I doubt I’d use the LFR or normal ones after unlocking the heroic and mythic ones, but they’re all cool.

Mage – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are all fantastic. I like the pink LFR tint a ton! I don’t think I’d use normal much, but I like the peach vibes from heroic too.

Priest – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I don’t like the LFR tint, but I do like the normal and heroic priest tints. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d ever use them. I just have other sets I like more. If I was going shadow, maybe I’d use heroic!

Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the hunter class set. I think they all look great!

Evoker – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the evoker class set. It’s all terrible. That’s all I have to say.

Druid – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are the LFR and normal tints for the druid set. I think they both look really cool, but surprisingly, I like the LFR best.

Paladin – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for the paladin.

Death Knight – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for DK as well.

Rogue – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR on this alt.

Demon Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

And just LFR for Demon Hunter.

Warlock – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR!

Monk – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible?

Nothing! I didn’t have a monk at max level in season 2. Hm, maybe in the season 3 post…

Mail gear

These sets are for all mail-wearing classes.

Time Rifts (mail)

These are the two mail sets from the time rift vendors. I’m not sure I’d ever use them.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (mail)

I collected four the Cavern Delver’s Gear tints – time rifts & Dawn of the Infinites (bronze), world quests and world drops, campaign, and Suffusion Camps and PVP. I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps.

Plate gear

These sets are for all plate-wearers.

Season 2 PVP Aspirant (plate)

The aspirant set for plate-wearers is cool.

Time Rifts (plate)

These are the two sets from Time Rifts vendors available to all plate classes.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (plate)

Like the mail versions of this set, I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps best. Unlike mail classes, I didn’t unlock the campaign version of the plate sets.

Leather gear

These sets are for all leather-wearers.

Time Rifts (leather)

I think these are cooler than the other armor types’ Time Rifts gear.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (leather)

Three tints of this leather, and like the previous ones, I prefer the red tint.

Cloth gear

These sets are for all cloth-wearing classes.

Time Rifts (cloth)

Ugly!

Cavern Delver’s Gear (cloth)

This looks much worse than the other ones. Maybe it’s not the cloth but that it doesn’t look good on a troll.

All classes

These sets are useable on all classes.

Racing Cup

These are the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms Cups transmog on the left and the Outland Cup transmog on the right. I really like these a lot.

Draconic Mortals Attire

I don’t even remember where these are obtained, but I got three tints.

Aberrus was a really good raid with some fun, varied fights. I earned Ahead of the Curve on my shaman, warrior, and evoker. On my hunter, I finished normal. Other classes did some bosses or LFR only. With 9 bosses in the raid, I only had issues with a couple of them.

The Amalgamation Chamber, The Forgotten Experiments, and Magmorax seemed rather boring. Magmorax was especially trivial, but somehow I disliked The Amalgamation Chamber and The Forgotten Experiments even more, possibly because they were two boring fights in a row.

Opening with Kazzara, the Hellforged was fantastic. I’m glad we started with a dragon.

I also really loved the flow between Assault of the Zaqali and Rashok, the Elder. We stop the Zaqali from infiltrating deeper into Aberrus, yet when we find Rashok, we initially think he got past us before the Echo of Neltharion reveals that the Zaqali were there to free Rashok. I know the idea of us having to defeat innocent or good characters who have gone mad has been done a ton in WoW, but I still have to feel bad for Rashok!

The Echo of Neltharion was a fun penultimate fight, and the reveal that the Echo was actually a Faceless One seems to have been missed by a lot of people.

Sarkareth is a complex fight that was a lot of fun – even though I once dispelled immediately when I wasn’t thinking and immediately caused a wipe. I wish Sarkareth has been built up more. I know his story existed in the Forbidden Reach and tied to the dracthyr, but I didn’t find myself caring all that much about the lore.

This was the first time Bulleto and I defeated Sarkareth I think, which would make this an LFR or normal screenshot.

My Ahead of the Curve kill on my shaman is at the top of this post. It was kind of an odd tier because my raid group did splits, and I wasn’t in the group that was pushing as hard. I still ran with the raid group, but I was ahead through pugging and got my AOTC in a pug group.

Here’s where we earned Glory of the Aberrus Raider. These achievements are interesting; I used to think of them as a challenge to obtain slowly but now it’s just a single run.

Here’s some of the raid group with our Shadowflame Shalewing, the Glory reward, right after we earned it.

And here’s Bulleto and I on them outside of Aberrus.

I think this is from the time Bulleto earned her AOTC.

This is the Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Hellforged customization that drops from Sarkareth. I’m glad I got it, because it’s awesome! It looks like the first boss, Kazzara.

Here’s a closer look at it with Bulleto and I carrying eggs!

Hopefully Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope will be just as fun!
