Darkmantle is a very nice middle ground between your Tier 0 and your Tier 1 set - hence the moniker Tier 0.5

I love the dungeon sets. this one looks awesome. even though outlands gear is infinitely better, im getting it on my rogue when he hits 60. its a landmark and good memorabilia

This Armor is not worth getting blah blah blah blah bla....

Like c'mon! This way you could say. ""Don't play for month, get a job and E-Bay a full T6""

Where people lost the ""Fun"" part of this game?! It's not a bout the freakin' gear. This is soooo totaly great looking armor and involves a lot of Old-School ?? bosses and encounters, it's damn worth getting it. Group with your friends, the old-school instances are simply cool to do, those dark places, rock walls, so much better than those new stupid 1h instances, beside these instances 'least have a Lore. Without all the fancy lights or what ever. I'm gonna upgrade to this, becouse the damn D1 Mask... it just doesn't fit, this has the cool blue strip 'round the face hole. D1 lacks it, it's just dark gray and doesn't match D1 at all :/

I would love to see some 59 rogues in this...

add in a Duskbat Drape and 2 Felstrikers (it would take quite a bit of planning)

you've got +8 stealth, incredible fall damage reduction, and a chance to proc guaranteed critical hits. throw in +15 stealth from MoD, +5 stealth from another enchant on your cloak... people aren't going to be able to see you until you're literally on top of them, and you can drop off a friggin' cliff to get to them. Once you attack you're critting them like mad... and you have chances to proc +35 energy. do want.

Of all the transitions form DS-1 to DS-2 (my opinion, you can downrateif you wish) this and the shamans received the more beautiful of them all, very aesthetically pleasing and it even matches the set's name. Also makes quite the statement walking around in main cities.

This is the most sexy outfit for a rogue. Just because it is so damn rare to see someone that have it

While waiting for WOTLK to come out, I did this entire questline on my blood elf rogue (i know i know, sacrilege..). It took a lot of time, money, and aggravation.

~35 gandling runs for hat.
~20 drakk runs for chest.

I was surprised at how fun the upgrade bosses side of things was. My favorite parts were the two undead bosses in Stratholme Live (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16101 Jarien and https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16102 Sothos ) and the final boss of the questline, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16042 Lord Valthalak -- the one I actually required a 2nd person to do. It's actually interesting to see bosses you've never seen before after all this time, and see loot that only they drop.

I bind this set for my 'walking around Dalaran' set and get a TON of whispers about it.

I roll with the full 8-piece set, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20691 Windshear Cape (from high marshal whirlaxis, which i spent about 3 straight days doing silithus mats to get as another trophy piece to go along with the Darkmantle set), https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18205 Eskhandar's Collar , https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13379 Piccolo of the Flaming Fire , and for weapons: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13246 Argent Avenger and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13361 Skullforge Reaver . Probably the most appropriate 'rare' weapons to rock with this are https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=1728 Teebu's Blazing Longsword and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=12590 Felstriker , neither of which I have.

I don't RP or anything but it's nice to set yourself apart and look a bit different than everybody else out there.

Old sets like this one will be available from Darkmoon Faire Island in 4.3 patch(minor details might not be accurate).
