It looks like gold Assassination from what i have seen

Comment by 127155

Same stats as the old HW/GM's Vestment...(LV70 PVP GEAR)

Comment by 112912

Wait... So you can just buy them off a vendor when you get high enough rep? If that is the case, I will definately collect this set just for the looks, very good looking gear.

Comment by Fap01

This is really great for rogues. you can get the gloves ASAP for the deadly throw bonus, instead of wasting abit of honor for gladiator's, etc. most pieces are easy to obtain too, looks like we wont have to deal with dying in AV cause of our leveling greens for too long...

Comment by 127752

While some Rogues are bashing this set, you hit the nail on the head. The set is designed for Fresh 70 Rogues entering BG's. This will definitely give you surviability as you collect your S1 gear or Arena Gear.

Does anyone know how much each item costs?

Comment by 98879

While the individual pieces all list honored reputation with their particular faction as a requirement, many are listed under faction reward lists in the revered category. The final word may be up to blizzard, as the patch has not gone live yet, but it's easy to get confused as to which it actually is for those of us not on the PTR.

Comment by Hellvector

I was able to purchase all of them as Honored with each reputation on the PTR.

While this gear is cheap (so far) and fairly easy to qualify for -- it really isn't any better than the gear you would get by questing from 60 to 70. In fact, I'd say for PvE it isn't as good. But if you want to grind your levels, not do quests and PvP all the time... then this gear is a good option.

A bit disappointing to see this has the old Rogue PvP set bonus of -1s on Gouge cooldown, which is completely worthless. Hopefully before it goes live, the set will be changed to +10 energy, as right now every Rogue will be better off grinding honor for the 35 res of the Glad 2pc bonus.

Comment by 137291

This set's a great starting set if it's all obtainable at Honored, as most fresh 70 rogues will be honored with most if not all five factions. As if it were to be obtainable at Revered, you'd probably have to farm a couple o' days to obtain it, while a s1 honor piece is easily obtainable in a few days of casually PvPing.

Comment by faia

do it set work with gladiator? or can we get 2x +35 res?

Comment by Sgtown

Very promising set for my new rogue (hit 70 2 days ago).

Obviously gladiator's is FAR superior for ARENAS, but it takes time to get Glad. A lot of people don't enjoy grinding BGs for 100k honor with 6.5k HP (that's how much my rogue had right when he hit 70).

This set lets you take on the scrubs a lot better in 70 BGs, a very nice addition for alts and new players imo.

Plus, 5/5 anything makes your character look much better than random 60 something greens. :P

Comment by 76552

It's good for those (me) who can't be bothered/have not got the time to get Glad stuff. My DPS gear gets me just under 7k health. This gear gemmed out gets me over 9k, helps with BGs a lot and also helps out when I do get in the arena :)

Comment by Cymorth

Had pretty poor gear leveling from 60-69 so far with bad drop rates etc so im in blues and greens.

This set works out great as ive bought 3 of the items already at 69 - Gloves, Helm and Shoulders. these 3 are from Cenaron Expedition, ThrallMar and Keepers of time which are pretty easy factions to get rep for as thrallmar an CE are the 2 starter zones for outlands plus the 6 instances to pick and choose from which all give rep for that faction.

Shatar isnt as easy as the above as TK instances are level 70 (unless your druid with your flying form ;) ) but then again terrokar quests help with rep quite well.

Lower city can be gotten from Auchidon instances and again terrokar quests, one more SL or AC run and im probably honoured.

Will help me make fresh start in lvl 70 pvp especially as they have a little bit of resi on them. buying these and saved my 30k honour for MH + OH s1 weapons. now to decide what gems to get

To be fair i reckon most people will ding 70 and be honoured with nearly all factions.been buying most iotems for 10-14g so far - bargain! so even if you do replace them 1 week later with s1 epics who cares it isnt much money to be fair

Comment by 143518

I collected the set for the looks, i get so tired of looking like im wearing a quilt. Im new to PvP, so this works nicely.

All stats aside, can anyone recommend boots?

Comment by 71302

Any GM gear that you have, since they are exact duplicates, will not match with this gear to get you the set bonuses.

Comment by bookworm13

To complete a starter PVP set you may want to consider the following:
The Master's Treads (BoE world drop boots)
Shadowstalker's Sash (Halaa PvP reward belt)
Necklace of the Deep (BoE JC crafted neck with gem sockets)
Delicate Green Poncho (2 person Nagrand quest reward)
Mark V's Throwing Star (soloable Netherstorm quest reward)

Comment by 119323

Since no one else has done it yet, I thought it might help out:

The reputation requirement is Honored and factions you need are:

Sha'tar - Legs
Keepers of Time - Shoulders
Thrallmar/Honor Hold - Hands
Lower City- Chest
Cenarion Expedition- Head

Total Gold to purchase the set is about 85G.

To buy the items go to the respective Faction Quartermasters.

Comment by Rosebeef11

Remember, u can get rep with sha'tar turning some Sunfury Signets, Arcane Tomes, etc (Scyer) Mark of Sargeras, Fel Armaments, etc (Aldor)
And, when u are 5999, u can go, kill 1 mob of ony of the Tempest Keep instances and ur going to reach honored...
If i get scared that u dont get Rep, u get rep, but it doestn shows in the Combat Log, just see ur reputation, (u), and u will see that u are getting rep.

Sha'tar - Legs
Keepers of Time - Shoulders
Thrallmar/Honor Hold - Hands
Lower City- Chest
Cenarion Expedition- Head
U NEED to get HONORED to buy the pieces, i think, use the pieces.
Good Luck guys...

Comment by 164741

What sort of stats do you have with this set plus leveling gear when you just hit 70? Like stamina, AP, and crit would be useful. Thanks.

Comment by kejh

When i dinged my rogue to 70 i had no idea about this one. then i looked on rogue sets at this search and noticed you could buy it for gold =). Could get 4/5 pieces right away as my rep was high enough with those factions allready. Great for the new dinged before you get your Gladiators. It makes it a lot easier too in AV. Get this set and then get the gladi daggers/swords/maces. I only got the shiv and still i get high in kills.

Comment by jcook264

I have the whole set and I highly advise you to obtain any two pieces of the Assasination set (Dungeon set 3) for the 160 haste bonus for 6 seconds after Cheap & Kidney. It really compliments any spec well.

Same ammount and color of sockets.

Comment by BishopCase

Worn by Sereth Duskbringer, the poison supplier located on the Isle of Quel'Danas at the Shattered Sun inn.

If you happen to take a look at him in 3D, note the matching boots.

Comment by 360875

Bought this set on my rogue before Wotlk. it doesnt take too long to rack up rep so this set is very easy to get. It costs about 85G+ (if you gem it or not) so its ver inexpensive. also great for looks. hope this helps.

You shouldnt really buy the set because youll get better gear in northrend but not bad for cheap 70 pvp gear. unless you want to rp as a ninja be my guest but dont waste your gold!

Comment by Slavaa

I made a rogue named Opportunist without even knowing about this set, I was suitablely surprised upon browsing the Thrallmar quartermaster...

Comment by 127239

Any matching boots and belt for the set, for a sake of look?

Comment by Blacknny

Still attemptable or not? I visited all the vendors today and I couldn't find it anywhere. I fact, all the classes set items do not shows up.

Comment by MeleePriest

Yes, these items are still obtainable. However you won't be able to see them if you're not a Rogue, as it only shows the items for what class you're on at the time.

Another person asked what boots and belt match the set, and that would be the Boots of the Shifting Sands and the Dunewind Sash.

Entire matching set (Without bracers... I've been unable to find any) is here.

Comment by DarthEnder

With Transmogrification on the way, it's more important than ever to find the perfect belt and boots to go with this suit.

Comment by Angxia

Hehe i got lucky. While grinding the rep for the factions to buy this gear i got Nightfall Wristguards aswell as Girdle of the Deathdealer which match perfectly with the set. As level 85 to get the reputations to buy all these items takes less than 3 hours, considering most are already honored with thrallmar after leveling there.

Comment by Yagamimoon

Defiler's Leather Boots match perfectly to this set :)

Comment by 799901

For anyone collecting this set for Transmog, I'd suggest the Shroud of Orgrimmar (or any of the three cloaks available from Stone Guard Nargol) as a matching cloak.
The colours match almost perfectly, and you get to show your Horde pride!

Edit: Might also suggest Nightslayer Boots as matching boots.

Comment by pekti

A great set for my underhanded little rogue.

As for a matching belt and boots combo, here's what I prefer. If you are like me and you enjoy the "chunky" style boots, check these out:

Boots of the Neverending Path

As for the belt, I use the starter belt that rogues receive at level 1, as I like the "metal" style of it :)

Outfitter Gloves

Comment by 944172

As far as matching boots go for the sole purpose of transmogrification, Feral Shoes look rather nice. They're not b,ack but they match the red and silver color scheme well. Feral Shoes

Comment by 800521

Great looking Rogue Transmog set...I use the following pieces with this set:

Scout's Hood
Dunewind Sash
Boots of the Shifting Sands
Blood Knight War Cloak
The Night Blade

Here's what that looks like on a Male ~~Human~~ Undead: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/tichondrius/Shxdxws/simple

Comment by 1053318

can someone confirm that this set is no longer available?

*edit* oh it totally is still available! yay

Comment by bigkaboom34

Landfall Leather Boots go perfectly with the set. They are given to you as a quest reward in the Jade Forest. http://www.cuckhead.com/item=90313#reward-from-q

Comment by 925737

So after some research I was able to find out what belt is being used in screenshots: Timeworn Shadowtooth Belt But along with my research I found that Dunewind Sash is a much better fit for this look.

Comment by Ammeg

Defiler's Leather Boots work wonderfully with this set imo :)

Comment by anthaney4

Nice Transmog set if you're going for a thief approach.

Comment by sodrty

It also looks good with footpads of silence Footpads of Silence

Comment by Ghrim

For matching boots I found Furious Gladiator's Boots of Triumph to match really well with this set. With the latest patch (7.0.3) you can buy the furious boots in the Dalaran Sewers for 2 Mark of Honor so you don't have to rely on RNG in the Vault of Archavon :)

This is what I'm using right now on my Undead Rogue. I opted for the Mantle of Darkness because I like how the bulkier shoulders look on Undeads P:

Comment by Bjork87

These set pieces are still up for purchase if you want them for transmog or just have them in your bag. Recently bought them myself.
