Commander’s Set
Armor Type: Plate
Level Req.: 60
Source: BoE drops and a single instance BoP
Availability: Time consuming to gather
How to get the set:
The Commander’s items themselves are BoE world drops and as such there is no particular way to gather them. Frequent AH scanning is probably the best option for finding anything.
The weapon might also take some time to gather, as it has rather a low drop rate from a raid instance.
Shoulders – Commander’s Pauldrons
Chest – Commander’s Armor
Wrists – Commander’s Vambraces
Gloves – Commander’s Gauntlets
Waist – Commander’s Girdle
Legs – Commander’s Leggings
Feet – Commander’s Boots
2-Handed Sword – Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood (BoP drop from Nefarian in Blackwing Lair, at a 9% drop rate)
To the right is an image of how Ashkandi appears sheathed on the back of the Commander’s set.
Recolours:
I used Gordok’s Handguards (http://www.wowpedia.org/Gordok%27s_Handguards) in place of the Commander’s Gauntlets, quest reward from http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:Unfinished_Gordok_Business (can’t do wowhead right now, sorry). Same model and if the coloring is different its minimal.
Also a temporary ‘easy to get’ substitute for chest is Thorium Armor (http://www.wowhead.com/item=12405-BS crafted BOE pattern from ta-da the trainer) while out hunting for the chest in this set.
Chest: http://www.wowhead.com/item=29789 (Neutral Netherstorm quest for identical chestpiece.)
Anyone know where I can find the legs or a substitute for them? Found every other piece multiple times but the legs…….just gives me a headache thinking about them.
P.S. I’ve gotten suggestions for hyperion legs, but i just don’t like mixing the two set colors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! <3
I believe that the belt is a copy of the “Thorium Belt” which is almost always on the AH on my realm.
I strongly recommend using Girdle of the Fallen Crusader (http://www.wowhead.com/item=19392/girdle-of-the-fallen-crusader) in lieu of the set’s designated belt. It picks up the sort of dusty pink of the chestpiece better.
nice set but i need 1 handed any ideas?
I’m currently using this set on my Ret pally and it’s fantastic. A note about some of the extra pieces and alternatives:
Cloak: http://www.wowhead.com/item=27892
2 Handed Sword: http://www.wowhead.com/item=27769
A good shirt to go under it is Scarlet Filigreed Doublet from the shirt vendor in Dalaran.
Could someone recommend a shield and weapon to go with this for a prot pally?
The Brutality Blade would look nice with this set.
