Claws of Agony — Transmog Set Guide

"Claws of Agony" is an epic-quality (purple) fist weapon that entered World of Warcraft with the Cataclysm expansion. The model is an aggressive claw-gauntlet with curved blades and a dark, crimson-tinged coloring in the style of Deathwing's draconic experiments. The look fits well in melee-oriented sets and outfits built around a dark, "demonic" palette.

This is a one-handed fist weapon worn in both hands by classes with the matching profile — primarily rogues, shamans, druids, and monks. The item level is 44, but that is irrelevant for transmogrification: only the unlocked model in your appearance collection matters.

"Claws of Agony" are part of the two-piece Trappings of Agony set: the second fist claw — Claws of Torment — uses the same model and perfectly completes the look when worn in both hands.

"Claws of Agony" drop in the Blackwing Descent raid — a Cataclysm-era raid dungeon located in the Burning Steppes.

• The weapon drops from the raid's enemies as a random reward while clearing the instance.
• The drop chance is low, so several runs through the raid may be required.
• These days the raid can be soloed at max level with ease, so farming is limited by nothing but luck.
• There is effectively no limit on attempts, but keep the weekly raid reset in mind when farming bosses.
• The matching item Claws of Torment drops from the same raid — both claws can be collected over a series of runs.

• It harmonizes with sets in dark-crimson and black tones — outfits in the spirit of draconic cults and Deathwing.
• It suits melee looks for rogues and monks, where paired claws look especially striking.
• It contrasts with light leather armor, adding a predatory, dangerous detail to the look.
• It works in "demonic" and combat sets that play up an aggressive aesthetic.
