no, megobigboom is actually incorrect on this point. the field marshall's regalia differs from the warlock and priest pvp set. you'll find that while having the same graphics, the mage set still has different + bonus and dmg then the other 2.

Since the patch the 3-set bonus of this set is very viable. Getting gloves, robes and shoulders are a very good combination to keep at level 70.

This goes good with a combo of

with

for those who want to up their damage

This is a great set for mages who want to ""twink"" at level 60. Believe me, there is nothing more fun than destroying the endless waves of Death Knights who all seem to believe they are indestructible. While there are items that offer better stats than some pieces of this set, i.e. some quest rewards in Hellfire, the Field Marshal set is still worth getting. You will not be disappointed with the results. I just wish they'd extend the other two BGs to level 60 instead of capping them at 59.

Sucks this set can not be transmog'd :(

You can not use this set for transmog unless you have the feat of strength of ""Warlord"", ""High Warlord"", ""Marshal"" or ""Field Marshal"". If you do have the feat of strength, you have to buy a different set of gear to transmog it. I have confirmed that this is correct. This limitation was created so only characters with the feat of strength could wear this gear in transmog form because the actual gear is available for purchase with honor points to everyone. The transmog-able gear can be bought in Area 52 from, Leeni ""smiley"" smalls (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=52533"">(NPC #52533) )

edit: apparently you only need ""Legionnaire/Knight-Captain or higher under the old PvP system"", quoted from a blue post on blizzard's forum (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3657275742?page=9#178 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3657275742?page=9#178 ).

Outrageous shoulder pads and so very, very <b>PINK.</b>

I'm feeling like 70's glam rocker in Cata hipsterville.
