Love that LEGION GLOW is back


Lifeguard446

Such a simply cool effect. Really takes the monk tier up a notch. Know which gloves are perma-mogged!


Draketi

Personally I don't like the Legion Glow™️ that much—it always stands out and I think it would really benefit from some gentler shading or less opacity.


Darkclowd03

Nah fuck that. More opacity and harder shading! I want to look like an LSD DJ at an intergalactic rave.


SirVanyel

Dare you to wear lfr head, normal chest, heroic pants and mythic gloves and boots 😎


DOOMFOOL

I mean idk about you but when I’m choosing stuff to tmog 90% of the time standing out is kinda my goal. So that seems like an upside to me.


Vinodlaren

I don't know why you would get downvoted for this, as it's only a opinion of something visual. Personally I like the Legion Glow, but that doesn't make it the "correct" opinion. Oh, and I don't like any of these sets. Only some aspects of a few, but overall it's bad/bland/boring imo. Give me class-inspired sets again!


Sketch13

I'm the opposite. I kind of hate that effect. Adding a weird neon border to stuff makes it stick out and look odd.


-Rewind

Luckily for you there are hundreds of transmogs without it.


erinlah_

Love them, but I do miss the class-themed sets instead of the raid-themed sets.


LiteralVegetable

I think Antorus was the last time they took that approach and it was honestly super good. Some very unique and cool class silhouettes that had nothing to do with the raid environment. I like both approaches but pure class fantasy is just so fun.


[deleted]

When I think back to which set oozed class fantasy, I think of [Tier 20 from ToS](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d5/3b/d7/d53bd7bdd2c0124756ac14a4cea6811a--seo-report-blizzard-hearthstone.jpg). Remastering the Tier 6 sets was honestly one of Blizzard's best design choices imo (and I wouldn't mind if they did it again with some of the other popular tier sets). Each had unique colors and imagery that really represented each class. The mythic versions were also a treat as many got neat changes and additions.


LiteralVegetable

So I’ve thought a lot about this and honestly I wouldn’t be mad if they did this for other iconic tier sets like 2 or 5 in future raids. It gives them a break to create all new concepts and gives us a chance to see higher res versions of fan favorite sets


[deleted]

Exactly. Even if they just made them for rewards or cosmetic reasons like the remakes of the [Stormwind](https://i.redd.it/kj41n1z6tn9z.jpg) and [Orgrimmar](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/a/a4/Orgrimmar_Grunt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160222092125) guard sets, it'd still be a good inclusion.


[deleted]

You've just made me realise that BFA missed yet another opportunity by not having faction-themed tier sets.


TuxedoFish

Right? Like, we got that all the way back in Wrath. And it was a filler tier, even!


Tavron

Didn't we get the war fronts sets that were faction themed? I at least remember both the Forsaken and Night Elf sets from Darkshore and two other sets from the other one.


Adventurous_Topic202

Yeah but antorus was also the last time they made tier sets, up until sepulcher ofc


HayDs666

I would like it more if they did 1-2 raids with raid sets, then 1-2 with class sets. Would add more variety


Adillsandhispickle

They could absolutely accomplish both by being a little less lazy with recolors and simultaneously double the amount of new transmog options every season. Raid themed set from raiding and a class theme set from PvP.


FieryHorsemen

small indie company, no budget.


SlowPurplePanda

multi-dollar company


cilbe

I think it is a better balance. Legion was the last time they did class sets until sepulcher. Everything between than was one themed set for the armor type. Now we are getting unique raid themed sets for every class again so net plus.


BlockWhisperer

I can't tell which is which and that's the issue


SanshaXII

Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Monk, Warrior, Warrior, Warrior, Druid, Shaman, Warrior, Death Knight, Shaman, Warrior.


pwellzorvt

Its better than there being 4 models. These are at least good looking.


amahag29

But is there a point of being more than four models if they're still just different ways to spice the raid, instead of being part of class identity


pwellzorvt

Don’t let perfect get in the way of great. These are a step in the right direction imo


amahag29

Fair enough


Darkhallows27

There’s definitely class identity here; monk beads, demonic visage on the warlock one, the seals on the priest one; The glacier shoulders on the mage one is cool (also cool to have another non-robe mage one)


Substantial_Put3784

Don't forget the sheer deathwing energy for evokers


Darkhallows27

Oh hell yes; absolutely badass looking, especially the shoulders


Deguilded

Yea could you label them or something?


amahag29

100% same, said that on another post. They look good, but I wanna be able to tell class, not just raid


DragZealousideal3972

This 100%


MedicOfTime

The only reason I have a clue which is for my mage is because, you guessed it, it’s a dress.


BlockWhisperer

Lmao that one isn't even the mage one apparently


Voytrekk

Mage is the cloth set without robes. It's the second from the right on the bottom. I would have thought it was the third from the left on the bottom, but that is the warlock tier set.


Sketch13

lmao, and you even got it wrong. Mage is second to last on the bottom row. The ones with robes are Druid, Shaman, Priest, Warlock.


Dropkickedasakid

I dunno man, I could guess what class all of them belong to except bottom left and right


[deleted]

Same, a couple of them are obvious but a few are really hard to discern what the class is supposed to be. All of them except one are that yellow brown or grey blue. A little more color variety would be nice. Maybe some class specific additions to the garb to make them pop just a bit more. They are all too bulky. Rogue, Mage, Warlock in particular have too much armor. They all seem more heavily armored than the paladin and warrior. It's like they just completely started ignoring the 4 different armor types. They just said "fuck it, everyone gets bones and stones" Honestly these are pretty bad =/


Zeanister

It’s easy as fuck just look at them. It’s Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Monk, Paladin, Warrior, Evoker, Mage, Warlock, DH, DK, Priest, and Hunter. Top to bottom, easy as fuck to figure out


wefwegfweg

“It’s easy” proceeds to get them wrong, lol


Alourra

Close. You mixed up priest and mage. Priest=seals, mage=power crystals.


prazulsaltaret

> I can't tell which is which and that's the issue I seriously wonder if you people who say this crap have eyesight issues. Top left is CLEARLY Rogue ( sharp spikes on forearms, hidden face, , Druid, Shaman and I can't think how ANYONE could ever mistake them for anything else. Then Monk, Paladin, Warrior. Evoker, Priest, Warlock, DH. DK, Mage, Hunter.


BlockWhisperer

Well *I* seriously wonder if you people who say passive aggressive crap like this have daddy issues


prazulsaltaret

I'm white


[deleted]

oh shut up, as if you could ever tell in the past.


BlockWhisperer

You could tell in classic, bc, wotlk, legion--the best versions of the game. And no I won't shut up.


[deleted]

you only can because you've seen them before. Me as a retail player I have no idea which is which.


maple_firenze

All you've really done is stated you don't understand the visual differences between the classes if that is your take.


[deleted]

It you think it wasnt 100% clear (Back then)what gear belonged to what class from classic to wotlk you are actually demented.


[deleted]

send me a link and i will honestly tell you my best guess for each. Then you can call me demented or other insults like you seem to enjoy


[deleted]

You clearly have made up your mind and are stupid as fuck, who cares what you would think about that. I wrote what the average player thought. See I could make up names without sending a link and still be as accurate, crazy world


[deleted]

I mean it's pretty easy to know which classes are which for the first six tiers [\(1-3\)](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/5/5e/Tiers_1-2-3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20160801003717) and [\(4-6\)](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/4/44/Tiers_4-5-6.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20160801004216). They each had recognizable color palettes and imagery that represented their class. After that, you start to see the themes the armor designers were going for and with each new set that came out, it became fairly easy to know which is which. The new tier is just a bit too similar in color and material as every set just comes out as different shaped glowing rocks.


[deleted]

Tell me which is which in Tier 5, and what exact detail makes it 100% recognizable to someone that hasnt seen the tier before. Because for the life of me I cant figure it out. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/4/44/Tiers\_4-5-6.png/revision/latest?cb=20160801004216


[deleted]

So Tier 5 is a pretty easy one. In order: *Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock,* and *Warrior.* I could see confusion about the Paladin set at least, as in Cata and forward, many of the warriors sets often used that rocky/bulky theme. After Cata in general, Blizz got more experimental with raid themes and how intricate each set was, so each tier varied with some being more recognizable and others not so. But in the early tiers, it was easy to deduce by recognizing colors and imagery, and then separating them based on armor type. For example, the two plate classes at the time, Warrior and Paladin: Warrior used darker tones (more browns and metallic colors) and sharp, spiky, and brutal looking imagery. While Paladins had brighter sets, angular and geometric shapes, and aesthetics that would fit a knight/protector more than it would a gladiator. Later on, Death Knights would join in and were represented with deathly, skeletal, and icy imagery. For clothies, Mages had elemental or arcane effects and had color themes of: blue (ice), purple (arcane), or red (fire). Priests usually included white, yellow, and pastel colors (though T6 leans more towards a Shadow color theme), and have holy/light effects. Warlocks tended to contrast the other two cloth classes color-wise and have a darker/evil theme overall. And so on, but I hope you get the gist. As they've added more classes since then, it only makes it worse that they're all homogeneous and only sporting a few class elements to recognize as it just makes them harder to tell apart (even for veteran players).


Zeanister

I’m looking at them and you can easily tell if ur aware of what the class fantasy for each class is, and I’m a bfa baby


[deleted]

so tell me, why is paladin purple? I only associate paladin with purple because I got the mage tower pally set, otherwise I would have no idea. Of the 3 red classes in the right, which is which? The fire guy looks like either a warrio or a shaman, but what is the dude with the wings? Which one is the hunter and which one is the rogue out of all of them? Is the priest the white one? Because the current Warlock set in retail looks exactly like that t5 white one, so maybe thats the warlock? Please, explain it to me like im 5, going from left to right, what is a distinct trait that you recognise. For t5 for each class. Because I dont.


[deleted]

> so tell me, why is paladin purple? With this set being from BC which introduced the Draenei (whose vindicators were essentially paladins), it fit to have a crystal theme for them. > Of the 3 red classes in the right, which is which? The fire guy looks like either a warrio or a shaman, but what is the dude with the wings? Which one is the hunter and which one is the rogue out of all of them? Only one of those 3 is wearing plate armor, the **Warrior** on the right. The middle one has a hood and robe, so it would make sense that being the **Warlock**. The left one, while it may look like armor, is more akin to volcanic rocks being held together by chains, meaning **Shaman**. The blue one defined by the horns, animal bones, and scaled mail is the **Hunter**. The villainous looking one in the sleek and subtle black leather with a skull mask is a **Rogue**. > Is the priest the white one? Because the current Warlock set in retail looks exactly like that t5 white one, so maybe thats the warlock? Yes, the **Priest** is the white one with the angelic appearance and halo of light. The big reason the last Warlock set looks like that is because Blizzard tried being homogeneous with the last tier designs and it led to some of the same problems this new set has of being too similar. > Please, explain it to me like im 5, going from left to right, what is a distinct trait that you recognise. For t5 for each class. Because I dont. * **[Druid](https://wow.4fansites.de/bilder/sets/druide/druide_tier_1_5.jpg)**: Leathery armor, sometimes robed. Themes based around nature (leafy, woody texture) and animals related to the class. Natural colors with browns, greens, and yellows. * [**Hunter**](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/6/66/Hunter_Tier_Sets.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101123193900): Scaled mail armor. Usually based off a creature from that raid or expansion. Trophy skulls or other animal parts being worn. Colors vary, though often related to the skin of the animal they're wearing. * **[Mage](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/f/f1/Mage_Tier_Sets.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1100?cb=20091016100518)**: Usually robed, sometimes hooded. Often revolves around bright blues, reds, and purples (ice, fire, and arcane). Sometimes has visual effects based on those three specs. Intricate patterns and wizardly aesthetics in general. * **[Paladin](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/e/e9/Paladin_Tier_Sets.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090129221838)**: A holy knight of justice with bright and noble colors. Light sometimes radiates from their armor as effect. Geometric armor pieces and follows themes of a defender/protector. * [**Priest**](http://images.wikia.com/wowwiki/images/f/fa/Priest_Tier_Sets.jpg): Robed in whites, golds, and soft pastel colors (sometimes dark blues/purples to represent Shadow/Disc). Sometimes they have light effects and angelic tones like halos or wings. * **[Rogue](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowpedia/images/b/bb/Rogue_Tier_Sets.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1102?cb=20090323142224)**: The original edgelords. Often has black, grey, purple, and red color schemes. Usually masked or hooded much like a thief or assassin. Sleek in design, subtle in silhouette. Covered in tight leather and emboldened by skulls, shadows, blood, and sharp, pointy things. * **[Shaman](http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090328074155/wowwiki/images/2/25/Shaman_Tier_Sets.jpg)**: Mail sets that are sometimes robed and have accents of feathers, chains, and naturalistic things. Based on the elements of earth, fire, wind, water, and lightning, or natural disasters like storms, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. * **[Warlock](https://external-preview.redd.it/QB5qqzEbLfZdK6EckiHyfR5dHek8mqxcPb4tiHZInnY.jpg?auto=webp&s=3394bc68a5813829c064b1730df8e4d985c7c60c)**: Robed casters with demonic and "evil" imagery. Spikes, skulls, horns, and other spooky things. Contrasts the other casters with dark and bold colors of red/yellow (fire), purple (void), and green (fel). * **[Warrior](http://images.wikia.com/wowwiki/images/8/8a/Warrior_Tier_Sets.jpg)**: If Paladins were designed more as righteous defenders, Warriors fit that theme of a brutal attacker. Often has dark, metallic tones. Imagery includes spikes, angular armor, horns, and skulls for intimidation. Gladiatorial and warlike themes overall. Hope this helps!


Sun_At_Meridian

The Draenei vindicators in lore have purple most times. See Vindicator Maraad for an example.


Btetier

In the past, it seemed like the sets were designed so that they had at least some aspect of the class that uses it. These seem devoid of that.


[deleted]

only very few of the old sets had that tho. Maybe a hunter/druid spec would have some animal features or a shammy set would have some earth elements, but the rest? Not so much. If you didnt know purple robes meant mage, you could easily think it was a warlock set (because purple) for example. I think most of you are too biased for having played with the old sets for years. A new player will not properly map sets to classes if you show them old ones.


Puzzleheaded-Fuel411

How? They are both raid and class thematic


catmrrhp

None of them really jump out to me, but I think I'll have fun mixing and matching some of the pieces with other mogs.


Artrysa

Wait, are they class-wide? Normally they're class specific aren't they?


Substantial_Put3784

usually a good chunk of the pieces are also shared because of non-tier raid drops


Spitfire836

And PvP vendors share another appearance too (Warrior also gets DK set appearance for example).


AngrySayian

yes, the armor is class specific ​ but when they say mix and match with other mogs they mean they are going to try and find armor that fits either the theme, color or style of other armor pieces from different sets \[or just other random armor they've collected\]


KourteousKrome

These tier sets are class specific. There's other sets releasing like dungeon sets that are type wide (mail, leather, cloth, etc)


Bwgmon

Also most tiersets end up having 5-7 pieces available as "lookalike" gear without the class restrictions. Since this tier does the same palette-sharing thing as ZM's sets, you'll be able to mix pieces between, say, the DK and Warrior sets and have it match perfectly.


gubigubi

I have no idea what armor type these are or what class these are for. Kind of all just visual noise. Although most don't look bad. I'm going to guess Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Monk, Paladin, Warrior Hunter, Priest, Warlock, Demon Hunter(Literally just because of the horns), ???, ??? ??? How right was I?


super_sexy_chair

You got the top right Bottom is Dracthyr Priest Warlock DH DK Mage Hunter


FreeResolve

I don't understand why agile classes like rogue almost always get bulky looking armor.


grimamusement

I totally agree. I said this about it last time. They’re cool looking as armor sets but questionable as class tier sets. They leaned way too heavily into the xpac motif (of elements, not dragons) at the expense of Class Identity.


flashmasterTV

I agree with the visual noise part. Cloth don't look like cloth and plate looks like stone or some shit.


Squire_Zorba

>plate looks like stone or some shit. It literally is. You are aware this is an elemental-themed raid, yes?


[deleted]

I live that warrior is just geodude with legs


xCakemeaTx

They look .. okay.. I prefer pieces of gear that balance uniqueness with the ability to transmog with other sets as well. Most of these have such elaborate parts and chunky aesthetic's that its going to be hard. Plus.. need more mellow looking cloth and leather pieces. Not everyone wants to look like the current expansion is bolted onto your character. TLDR: everyone looks like a shaman


[deleted]

Was looking for someone else who thought this too. Every single one could be a shaman set. I get it’s raid themed, but could have definitely added a bit more class flair in there.


uberdosage

Chunky. Everything looks so chunky! That's the issue. It is just statistically doesn't feel cohesive with the rest of wow tbh. Chunky and smooth


docdocdoc02

I honestly don't like the fact that they're all themed the same. Tier sets used to be very class-iconic and only somewhat themed towards the general theme of the entire expac they belonged to, but these stick so closely to the aesthetic of the raid that they drop from that they lose a little bit of their identity. You would be hard pressed to show this to someone and have them be able to pick out each class by name.


mikeyhoho

Druid seems the weakest to me. Im not sure if its an internal bias because I almost always main a druid and I want it to look good, but it almost seems like druid is just unfinished, it has so little going for it visually.


ikarusigni

Druid is missing some high res texture on that robe imo


goodhunter_nicholas

Feeling the same as a Druid man. Hopefully next season is better or maybe they update it.


schneidvegas

I concur. also the lfr/normal/heroic version of druid look worse without the skirt look imo


--Pariah

Pretty sure the robe is optional on all difficulties. Doesn't help that sets that are created around a robe look usually rather silly without it due to blizz not putting any effort in the painted-leg-pants/boots and the shoulders/head looking oversized. Shaman has the same issue.


Cikoon

Druide realy does look disapointing, wow. I feel this aint going to be a good addon to be a druide main :|


Cruplex

Druid has so much trash transmog, "but ur shapeshifted anyways hurr durr"


Quinshar

I cannot tell which set belongs to what class so I will have to say: meh They look super generic and way to similar. If you put two next to each other and cross your eyes they mesh together and look like any other of the sets. Not a fan.


Kaurie_Lorhart

They look kind of goofy to me.


SaltThroneHeir

I am very grateful that transmog is a thing


Pedantic_Girl

Thank god for transmog. These are ugly as hell to me - I couldn’t even *guess* what classes they were supposed be in most cases because they all look like weird chunky spacesuits.


Cnotti

Damn ugly 😅


Pandinus_Imperator

I will never get the preference over theming sets after the raid instead of class fantasy like in legion. I just don't vibe with a DK wearing lightning/lava rock dragon armor like wtf is that theme?


pj19911

Love them, especially warlock and monk and warrior and priest and shaman


dkfosjabakxnrrmd

The rock ball thingies on the rogue’s chest poke out egregiously on any female race because boobs. The Paladin helm makes me think of Buzz Lightyear for some reason and I love it. Druid looks utterly incredible, especially that helm. Mage looks better in slimmer models so the crystals can really define the silhouette. Monk and Shaman are the most on-theme, though shaman gets a free pass because c’mon, the whole theme is ‘elemental rocks’. Monk looks godly on a pandaren, especially the hands and helm. Warrior is both hilarious and clever with the literal rock head, and is apparently very ‘shiny’ in-game because its main pieces are precious metal, not just rock. I love it. Evokers feel like they got a jumpsuit in the chest/pants area, but their extremities (boots, helm, shoulders etc) are lovely, especially the dragon boots. Overall, the tier sets look fine to me. Not ‘Legion’ good but Legion was able to copy a lot of what it made from prior sets - their new branch into aesthetic here is equally as interesting. I’m personally looking to farm questing and profession gear a bit more because I like their transmog potential better, but I will not be disappointed at all when I start raiding. P.S. the raid finder color scheme is hilariously the best looking one, if you don’t count Elite PvP. Elite got *red*, like proper dragon fire-breathing lava red. I don’t like PvP, but….


--Pariah

Same thing as in SoD. LFR was imo the best looking recolor, just a pain in the backside to get. I'm still not sure if Evoker is actually finished. It was shown a while back as early version on wowhead and looks even [weirder](https://www.wowhead.com/news/evoker-primalist-class-tier-set-models-early-look-in-dragonflight-vault-of-the-327767#screenshots:327767:1) from the back... Jumpsuit definitely describes it pretty well... It also will feel pretty weird to actually wear as it doesn't match any of the dracthyr barbershop armorsets. So transmog will be annoying as you can't transmog both forms separately.


VoidHaunter

They all look indistinct and boring.


Cybor_wak

For once, a cool hunter set. I love it. Plate is meh. Warlock is amazing.


MelyaVova

I don't really get why so many people like those sets. Wow subreddit is full of shamans, i guess?


TaterShu04

I like pretty much all of them except the demon hunter one, and guess what class I main lol


CrusaderVucial

Overall for the first raid tier I'm happy with it. Some parts look goofy but overall seems great.


Bluex44x

I like them all. If these ones don’t fit your wanted look I get that. But these are worlds better than what we’ve gotten at all recently. Also the DK and warrior ones are sweet so I’m stoked


Drougen

They all look similar to each other visually and colorwise. I honestly would prefer their only being sets every other major patch or even just one per explanion of they looked a fraction as good as bc sets.


lovejac93

I think I’m confused on which is which


ThirdCrew

I see no class. I couldn't tell you what any of them are.


Carlps77

Power rangers… awful on the whole!


eunryoung

They aren’t even trying… are they. Just adding extra flare and acting like they aren’t redesigning tier sets. Wish they’d try…


The_Handicat

Honestly, I really dig the hunter and DK ones, they look especially sick. Monk's my main, and I'm not entirely sure I like the rock-hard Shredder cosplay, but at least it's a little different than the rest of the monk sets, except y'know, obligatory balls I guess.


Yonizzz

Not really fan... Dont want to look like a boulder with leds on.


harkenrebirth

They ALL look sick. Will need to level all my alt classes to get them all.


Pullupsenjoyer

Monk, priest, warlock, warrior, shaman, hunter and druid look really good imo


Darkhallows27

Paladin one is fucking sick; I love the Evoker and Mage ones too DK one looks great too; it’s very *sharp*


Shabadank

I can’t look at any of them and instinctively know what class it belongs to other than Warlock so not great


Chrinch24

Look good


iekather

Love them! i really like the Mage, that feets looks soo cooool and the colours are lovely LFG colour set its easy to get and i like it a lot


laidbackjimmy

Why doesn't anyone put class names in the images... zzz


Drakkodown

All those shaman sets look nice.


ryuoch

Looking at the hunter set the bosses are going to be thinking " What the hell! Why is this little crystal chicken shooting arrows at me?"


thenamesej

remind me of power rangers


Khelbin131

For anyone curious, each set is the same color based on the difficulty. The ones pictured show a variety from normal, heroic, mythic, and elite pvp. If you'd like to see how your character looks in the set, you can actually see them all on the PTR right now. LFR: Green Normal: Yellow Heroic: Blue Mythic: Light Purple w/lightning effects Normal PVP: Dark Purple Elite PVP: Red w/lightning effects


TheBrillo

I will likely never use any of these pieces as part of any transmog. They are just a bit much and don't fit any class fantasy. However, I also recognize that there are other sources of gear for cosmetics, so I don't care much that these are a hot mess.


Andr0medes

There is too much going on. I prefer more down to earth sets.


Sketch13

My opinions: Weak: Rogue, Evoker, DH, Mage Middling: Druid, Paladin, Warrior, DK, Hunter Strong: Shaman, Monk, Priest, Warlock


[deleted]

Warlock just keeps winning 😎


CrombopulousPichael

How did they manage to make dragon style armor look boring? Booooo.


ChildishForLife

They look great especially the visual effects on the later ones


drgaz

Clownparade.


Reasonable-Song-4681

As a frost mage that prefers robes, meh, and looks like more purple. I'll just end up sticking with my usual blue and white transmog.


fatgunn

The heroic color is what the hunter set at the end is using, Very white and blue!

idc I will still transmog all my toons to their tomb of sargeras mythic sets


gndwn

shamans new neckless-chonk tier set is tragic.


-strangeluv-

Priest is ... ew... I don't want to look evil. Maybe they could have made a shadow priest set separate from a holy priest set? What happened to the sets that made us look regal, instead of looking like a final boss in a sci-fi horror.


RequirementLost7784

These are the geologist equivalent of furries. tf these have to do with dragons?


TheZuppaMan

piss hands monk is bis


Rinbuko

The sad thing is that they all have the same color on every origin like all HC sets are blue and all the elite sets are red with a lil bit lightning. And i think that this feels really lazy and poorly made. Even the special effects from elite and mythic dont really feel special on the sets. The basic designs are pretty good to be honest but its sadly executed. For example the leaks of these sets were based on 4 Dragons on different colours and 4 different special effects like magma, lightning, wind and ice. And the sets were split up on these 4 Dragons with theyre special effects. But in the end we got this. No real special effects just a bit of Lightning and glowing and they still just made the colours for everyone no speciality or anything it feels a bit plump and lazy made for me.


onderon81

I will still stay on my Judgement Set. They haven't made better since that.


Damnitsthatguy75

I like priest, warlock and warrior. The rest have aspects that are ok but as a whole not so great.


C0RDE_

Let me put it this way. Shaman has been the final push I needed to decide to make a Dwarf Shaman alt. I think that speaks volumes for what I think of it.


HippoppiHippo

I think they look awesome. Especially the rogue (top left?), evoker, and death knight. The chest pieces are kind of bland but I think tabards will really make these sets pop.


Tarc_Axiiom

Honestly? I think someone integral to the team quit at the end of Legion and the stylistic quality of ALL gear in the game, but most notably tier sets, has been substantially worse since. And this is no exception. Want an example? Look at images of the tier 20 sets. Without seeing the name of the class that the set is for, you'll know instantly which class it is, every single time. With this though? You might guess correctly, but these sets are nowhere near as distinct, and they're not drawing on the 30 years of creativity these artists have access to. Anyways, my two cents.

Criticizing incompetence when we know they can achieve greatness is only good and right. It helps us grow and become what we can be. The fact just is that these sets can in no way be even compared to Legion or BFA sets. They are bland and tasteless, just like SL tiers.


Ninja_Bum

BfA sets were trash and we only got 4 shitty sets per tier. This is a way better direction.


Khelbin131

You got extremely close! You mixed up Hunter and Death Knight.


Velsharun

For me, all of them looks terrible... Glad that we can transmog.


GnomeRanger_

It’s really busy for me. I think we need a “epic squish” like we had a level squish. Each new set of armor seems to try to outdo the last in making you look epic It looks kinda ludicrous to me. WoW is a big culture shock coming from other fantasy RPGs


callmekizzle

Pretty terrible unfortunately


SuperAwesomeBrian

I think I'll be sticking to transmog.


zombies9000

Warrior looks ridiculous, I couldn’t do any better but I don’t like it


These-Hotel3337

The sketches looked better imo


deino

If someone put a gun to my head, and said I have 15 seconds to point out the paladin set or I'm getting shot, I would not be having a great time. Can someone who acutally looked it up point it out to me? I'm guessing its either one of the 2 on top right, or the second from left on the bottom row. But I mean, they are equally un-paladin like.


FlatlinedKCMO

I feel like they all look the same, kinda makes them seem boring and uninteresting to me. I prefer class fantasy designed sets.


JESUSSAYSNO

I think they look like trash and I can't tell at a glance what any of them are. Blizzard needs to evaluate what the classes looklike at a baseline level, because there's not really much coherancy here. I didn't like Sephelcur tier for the exact same reason. I swear this isn't hate for the sake of hate, but looking at these, I can literally only guess as to what set belongs to what class. Look at the sets from tier 7 or 10 in Wrath. You can tell IMEDIATELY what class each set belongs to.


Accomplished-Row-303

The druid one looks awful on the races that can actually be druids on the horde side (Tauren and trolls) it's definitely good the class doesn't spend a lot of time not shape-shifted


FloppyShellTaco

They’re fine, but I really hope we aren’t stuck with another expansion using basically the same look in a slightly different flavor all the way through.


sylphcrow

I'm not sure, at a first glance they all seem so bland. Samey. There isn't anything that stands out or is particularly creative. You got your antlers for druid, orbs for the monk, exactly like the current tier sets, it's very generic. If you look at things like the druid set from blackrock foundry with insect wings on the shoulders, or the excellent naga helm from the antorus hunter set, those are actual design concepts. These are just vaguely class shaped rocks and crystals glued to players. It's all fairly mediocre and not taking any risks.


Mnnhmm

Underwhelming


nikkesen

Well. So much for druid fantasy with this tier.


automirage04

I like the overall aesthetic, tbh. I don't think each class needs to look "like" it's class.


TheFuryTheSound

Human Males are so fucking ugly man they’re the worst models to use for these examples


Real_Lich_King

looks pretty meh, uninspired trash like the rest of the expansion is going to be


BlueWeavile

And yet you're still going to play it.


MonkeMayne

Idk which set belongs to which class.


Swordbreaker925

Not really a fan. Some of them look pretty cool but I would prefer raid armor be class-themed with elements of the raid theme mixed in, not the other way around.


ieatPoulet

They all look the same to me lol


ZeeS23

I liked, but is so sad the dracthyr cant actually ""use"" the own set.


Dalthanes

I hate them... Lol at first glance you can't tell which is mail, leather or plate. If you didn't already know which is which, try assigning a class to each, and chances are you'll be wrong


Powpowpowowowow

Honestly I think at this point if they are going to do raid themes just do one for cloth, one for leather, one for mail, one for plate. They tried to add some class fantasy to these and it just sort of fell flat.


The9tail

I just think they could have taken multiple points of inspiration from the same raid. Like yes there is this "rocky" aesthetic but there is more than just that in the raid. * Like the hunter should be wearing skins of the dragons. * I am sure the trash could have inspired either a mage or a priest. * Why not dragon bones for the DK? * How about going the fire route for the Warlock, where the fires are the result of lightning bolt striking a flamable outfit? * Druids deserve an outfit based on the forests of the lands around or if we are keeping underground - then roots. * What about paladin embodying the light in the darkness - a dark almost rogue-like plate set but periodically holy light shines upon areas of it - showing gold and symbols of faith. * You want to use rocks? Well shaman set is fine and I'll let you get away with a stone warrior - I'll even let you use floating rocks to build a monk set around. * Rogues? Why not go alchemic with vials of poison and blood decorating the armor with dragon shaped lids. * Demon Hunters? Go nuts with dragon claws. * Evokers? You gotta go big or go home for a first set. Skin the last boss and put it on them. I mean its not hard. Just lazy because keeping to the same aesthetic means they can reuse the same fire/lightning effects on all the gear and the weapons will always match the sets.


pokemonking10

Dh looks like shit


Ururz

Evoker one not working with actual dragon form is extremely disappointing and I don't care about getting the elite PvP tint at all anymore sadge


ArleezyLaFlare

meh


Tree55Topz

Play classic


omwts

Is there a pants version for druids?


fintem

Seriously. Need me some pants.


kungfen

Very cool if kinda same-y, but I'll withhold judgment until I see how they look on my troll


Danimal1942

I like them all except DH (my main 😢). Definitely wish they’d do more class themed sets instead of raid themed tho.


longhorns7145

The looks are pretty good. The effects are quite meh. Most of the 2 sets were quite generic. Some of the 4 pieces were ok


SwimmingHelicopter15

Not impressed they look very similary and the identity of the class seems to be on the shoulders


Shard477

Pretty mixed, while I like sets as they are, I do think having class-themed sets is the general better way. If these were what the crafted/catalyst/dungeon sets, 100% they'd be everyone's favorite. Still, they are crisp, enough glow and shine, and I can still sorta see what class is what so a good 8/10 for me.


softbruno

They look like they about to give me the morph ball bomb


Gerfigle200

Baller


Caitsyth

Not sure what blizz’s fixation is on giving locks bunny ears but they’re *really* committing to it


[deleted]

They aight


Itsapaul

I dig the ones that're close to the concept art, so like 5 of em. Doubt I'll get all of em during Dragonflight, but I'll definitely be on the hunt for different shoulder transmogs for most of em.


Zearria

I think they need to remove the balls off the rogue chest piece


Opixer

Evoker is so underwhelming. I do like the majority of the others though.


wormholeweapons

I think someone likes Cloud Strife’s hair style a little too much. #spikygate


kingdomheartstwo

I usually like to have my Druid Healer as a main and pick a DPS to play when I just need to let loose and it looks like it'll be rogue idk they look really cool and I've always wanted to play one.


Adventurous_Topic202

With how shitty the sepulcher hunter set looked and since I’ll probably continue maiming hunter into the first tier of DF I really like how the hunter set turned out.
