Can we say, "eeew"?

First off, the Death Knight... that helm looks like a Final Fantasy (dragoon!) ripoff, andthe blue glow looks kinda weird when the rest of the armor is red, orange, and grey.

Second, the hunter. Not sure what's up with the eyepatch for someone who primarily uses ranged weapons, but the rest of it looks OK.

Third, the priest. WTF is with that huge anime-style neck guard?

Fourth, the Paladin: That had better be JUST the Holy suit... what's with them and making Prot/Ret wear Robes in the Tier sets? I'm running around in the middle of combat with PLATE armor. I don't wear freaking ROBES!

Fifth, the mage. Strange little feather in the cap, but meh. It is OK for a Fire Mage, but will look really weird on a Frost or Arcane mage. Maybe they should make armor that looks different depending on your current spec?

Sixth, and last, the Rogue. The Rogue should have had the hunter's eyepatch, it would have fit a lot more nicely.

I like the coloration better than the 359 t11.

Well the hunter model is based off one of the bosses, Shannox to be specific. Kinda funny really, it is like the hunter cut off the bosses head and decided "this would be an awesome hat" and popped it right on their head.

Paladin reminds me that you can never please the WoW audience. People hail T2 as the best out there and now people are saying this set is utter crap. While I will admit the color scheme of T2 seems better than T12.

Speaking of color schemes I am not a fan of the how the majority of tier sets are a shade of red/orange. I know, fire theme and all, I was just expecting something more distinct between the classes. Mind you I do enjoy the sets as a whole and look forward to seeing the others, I am just not quite as excited about this set as previous ones due to said reason.

I love how they take a theme from a boss or environment in the raid and apply it to the armor set of a class. That is pretty neat and I hope that theme continues.

The more I'm looking at these the more I'm thinking that they're ALL made to be used with no Helm graphic. There is so much emphasis on the shoulders, with some really cool looking things going on.

My only qualm: it all looks fiery. Yes, I get it - Fire Lands. That doesn't mean that the gear is actually technically FROM fire, nor that it should/would look like fire. Whatever, I still think it's a step in the right direction.

Paladin looks more like mage armor than paladin armor, where's the pink gone!? What's a paladin without creepy pink and purple!

Hunters are like Hannibal, something I can agree with. Although I'll never show off that helm (not like I ever do anyway).

On looking again, I love how the DK shoulders aren't insanely large and obnoxious like most tier shoulders.

I like the hunter model. Too bad the like "sight" scope thing on their eye doesn't have like a laser everywhere you look, that would be ******* awesome!

Anyways, it definitely looks better than a fish for a head and fish eggs protecting my shoulders.

Better than T11.

I agree pretty much down the line about the Paladin set. I like the throwback look of the helmet, but it gets lost in the shoulders, so I'm not sure if it's better on or off - best case might be if the shoulders are the worst itemized so that you can get the 4-pc bonus without them.

I could also deal with going back to a kilt, if either (a) it /was/ a kilt and not a robe, or failing that, (b) the detailing should be obviously plate, or at least some kind of metal.

But that goes back to another complaint, that the visual distinction between different armor types is more muted than ever before.

Where is my druid tier set? I wanna ***** too.

Teehee!

The helmet looks absolutely awful.
The robe, though, looks awesome.

Druid set looks hideous, just like almost every other druid tier set.

I went back and looked at some old ones, T1 and T4 were the best druid sets with T1 winning hands down.
