Seems there will never be a complete armor set like Bonescythe for a long time. Even the new riad armor sets available in the BC dont really compare to the completeness of this set..

Hope blizz offers something more comparable in the LK Expansion.

Cheers,

The best looking rogue set in my opinion.

Other good-looking items are the ones from sunwell plateau, but they are not a set => t3 is the best looking rogue set EVER.

Theloria Shadecloak, a high elf questgiver in Terrokar Forest, is wearing this armor. She makes it look pretty awesome on an elf frame:

Kialon Nightblade, an alliance questgiver in Blade's Edge Mtns, also shows it off pretty well:

Note that the chest armor, unlike T6, has a high neck, similar to the Bloodsea Brigand's vest from Karathress.

As of Wrath of The Lich King expansion,this is no longer available.

Naxxramas moved to Northrend,a Tier 7 set is obtainable here for level 80 players.

Anyone notice that none of the armor requires a class except the ring?

Rough calculations for rogues with higher critical hit percentages (particularly dagger-wielding rogues using Backstab) indicate that the 4-piece bonus on this set will have returns equal to or better than those of Adrenaline Rush, just spread out over a longer period of time.

Thus, this set bonus is likely to be one that will encourage many rogues to hold on to at least 4 pieces until well into the Expansion.

Dear Blizzard.

Please bring this set back to the game. I would very much like to transmogrify my gear into it, and I do believe I speak for many others.

In my opinion, this is one of the most good looking and well-designed armor sets for rogues. The lookalike tier 7 set isn't the same.

Edit: Looks like the set will return in MoP, through the Black Market Auction system.

Ah, the original Bonescythe set....now a piece of legend, soulbound to those special few who had what it takes to clear Naxxramas at level 60, or those who bothered raiding it at level 70 when it was considered to be a "lost" instance until shortly prior to the release of Wrath of the Lich King!
