What about those of us born in the 90s?

Fixed.

Speaking of... paladin is up and its just as bad.

^^^^ what that guy said, bloody terrible helm the rest is pretty cold and minimalist so whatevs. But the helm is baaaad.

Paladin set is weird. WTF is up with the feathers?

Well, those feathered shoulders aren't half as bad as the helmet. Would like to know what they were smoking when they were first designing that thing, and then even approving it. Seems like they just slapped something on there to just get it done.

Just a tiny little bit more effort and it could have looked like this and been quite nice:

But I guess they know damn well that especially this time around people will be all over transmogrification, so spending much time on creating tier sets is probably not one of their priorities.

I quite like the paladin set. The colour scheme could have been a bit bolder, the gold and silver thing feels a bit washed out, but I like the shoulders and the angelic direction. I also like the idea of a winged helmet in a Hermes / messanger of the gods way but something about the size or the angle here feels a little off. Still, not bad overall.

I disagree that they are slacking on the design, and letting transmogrification take care of it - from what I've read the reception for most of the tier 13 sets so far has been overall positive. Of course it's always going to be impossible to please everyone, but I think they are trying to please as many as possible.

I kind of like the Pally set though the helm is a bit overpowering. I'm okay with the Rogue set too.

I think they've done a pretty good job so far with the T13. Of course I'm not likely to see much of it on my alts until it's long obsolete. Heh - I'll be lucky to get half of my set on my main unless things improve a lot in my raiding prospects.

^This.

BC gear was awesome if you managed to get matching pieces. Unfortunately, matching pieces didn't happen for most of us. There were so many different and conflicting design schemes that most of us looked like hobos or clowns.

That's why in Lich King everything stuck to a relatively same design scheme. Even tier 8 seemed to work okay with tier 10. It wasn't the best match, but a far cry from Chuckles the Orc.

You'd need to be Nick Cage for that.

And nobody wants to be Nick Cage.

Only if we require it be the movie version.

Definitely naked.

At least pallies don't look like pally rangers anymore.
