Avatar Sets
Priest Tier 5
Armor Type: Cloth
Level Req.: 70
Source: BoP token purchases and boss drops from Outland raids, one Tailoring recipe
Availability: Time consuming to farm and may require assistance
How to get the set:
There are two visually identical Avatar sets, one for each priest role:
Discipline/Holy – Avatar Raiment
Shadow – Avatar Regalia
The five items comprising each set are purchased using tokens which drop from Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. In addition to the tier pieces, there are also matching non-set boots, bracers and a belt, which are listed in the ‘Extras’ section below. Also listed is the famous “priest on a stick” staff, a perfect compliment to this set!
The following list highlights the source of each tier token, which may used to buy the related armor pieces from Kelara if you are Aldor affiliated and Veynna Dawnstar for Scryers. If you are only interested in appearance, it doesn’t matter which armor set you choose, as they both look identical and are purchased from the same tokens anyway.
Head Token – Helm of the Vanquished Defender (BoP drop from Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern, at a 61% drop rate)
Shoulder Token – Pauldrons of the Vanquished Defender (BoP drop from Void Reaver in Tempest Keep, at a 70% drop rate)
Chest Token – Chestguard of the Vanquished Defender (BoP drop from Kael’thas Sunstrider in Tempest Keep, at a 61% drop rate)
Glove Token – Gloves of the Vanquished Defender (BoP drop from Leotheras the Blind in Serpentshrine Cavern, at a 70% drop rate)
Leg Token – Leggings of the Vanquished Defender (BoP drop from Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern, at a 66% drop rate)
Extras:
Wrists – Wraps of Purification (BoP drop from Hydross the Unstable in Serpentshrine Cavern, at a 24% drop rate)
Waist – Belt of the Long Road (BoE crafted by tailors of 375+ skill with Pattern: Belt of the Long Road, a BoP trash drop from SSC and TK)
Waist – Boots of the Long Road (BoP crafted by tailors of 375+ skill with Pattern: Boots of the Long Road, a BoE trash drop from SSC and TK)
Feet – Soul-Strider Boots (BoP drop from Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern, at a 15% drop rate)
Weapon – Staff of Immaculate Recovery (BoP drop from Gurtogg Bloodboil in Black Temple, at a 15% drop rate)

Wow that looks so cool! Best looking Priest tier in my opinion, I best get levelling my Priest 😀
Gloves of the Vanquished Defender has the wrong link. 🙂 Should be http://www.wowhead.com/item=30240.
Thanks a bunch for this site! Saw it on Wowhead and can’t. stop. reading!
Thanks, I used my T4 priest article as a base template for this article. I guess it was inevitable I’d screw a link up somewhere along the way!
I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself here!
For the wrists, you have them dropping for Hydross “in Karazhan”. Hydross is in SSC, not Karazhan. I assume this was another copy-paste miss.
There is also a belt from High Lord in Gruul’s Lair that matches this set.
Anyone know of a nice looking cloak that looks good with this?? been trolling wowmodelviewer ever since mogging was announced. Thanks
Icy Cloak looks decent. Tailor crafted.
Nice set, I like how you’ve added the weapon to it, makes a nice complement.
You might want to correct the clothing type for Boots of the Long Road, the heading says it’s a Wrist item.
Thanks for the website! It’s got a nice interface that makes it easy to find what I want without scrolling through 7 different pages.
-Fellow Argent Dawn EU player.
Fixed and thanks!
Seems like Belt of Divine Inspiration http://www.wowhead.com/item=28799 could be a good option for those who can’t find the pattern, thanks! 🙂
There is a recoloured version of this, Merciless Gladiator’s Investiture (Arena Set 2), which is a nice combination of dark blue and silver/grey.
Anyone have any ideas of wrists/waist/feet/weapon to go with the recoloured version?
There is a vendor in Isle of Quel’thalas that sells matching bracers/boot/belt for a small amount of JP
Merciless Gladiator’s Priest Sets
Any one know of a good main hand / offhand combo for this set?
Lights justice from kara would go nice and maybe chalice of benedictus
I’ve been collecting this set for my troll priest for 4.3. There’s a couple of things which might help others looking to get this set.
– The Belt of the Long Road recipe is a BOE crafted item and pretty easy to get from a tailor in Trade Chat
– The Boots of the Long Road is a BOP item once crafted!!! Unless you’re a priest tailor, don’t buy the recipe ^^
– There’s some race changing in the COT instance in 4.3, so if you’re tauren or troll, you might still want to get matching feet items even though these normally don’t show.
I recommend Mogit addon for helping to find matching shirts and tabards. I’ve not seen a good tabard, but Squire’s Shirt http://www.wowhead.com/item=6117 and White Swashbuckler’s http://www.wowhead.com/item=6795 both work well with this.
Ironstar’s Impenetrable Cover is a good cape model for this set. BoE that drops in BWD, check AH. Usually there’s one, if not several there.

Have this gear for my priest, still only need the staff, but i want to give a quick tip. Benedictus in Hour of Twillight dungeon, wears almost the same gear as this, but he wears a better matching cloak. This cloak is the Gray Hair Cloak, the 1250 lvl 85 tanking cloak. I bought it, and it looks pretty sweet on my priest 😉
Hey I noticed there are two boots posted, but no cloak. Any chance one could be put up?
There’s a good cloak suggestion in the two comments preceeding your own, matching Archbishop Benedictus’ look.
