My resto druid doesn't seem to have the new ToL form, he still turns into the old one! What have I done wrong?  The new tree form isn't in yet. |

The shaman tier sets ranged from, "that's kinda cool" to  . Moreso to the latter sadly. I didn't play a shaman in a raiding setting in vanilla (no draenei and only dabbled in horde), but I recall the T1 and T2 sets as disctinctly blah. I don't recall T3 at all, so we'll move on. T4 was actually pretty good, other than the bland color. The helm was the high point, decent enough to leave on--no bobbed hair. T5 looked really good--no fucking kilt, but the helm was an abomination. T6 was good looking, but I never had any (-1 to score) and it had a kilt (-10). I liked the T7 set quite a bit, but the hat--again--was clownshoes and left off. It also had the stupid chainmail ballgown, but lots of hunter legs in Naxx, so life was good. T8 was probably the best overall. Outstanding set. Dress was tied to the chestpiece, so I got caught. The helm was simply outstanding, even though the plumb bob thing disappeared into my draenei's cleavage. T9 was so bland it hurt. Anub was good enough to cough up the hunter legs, so I was spared the idiot dress again. T10 was OK. Once everyone got used to the ghost piggy shoulders and quit commenting on them, I kinda grew to like them. Crafted legs avoided the never-to-be-sufficiently-damned kilt. My other characters mostly didn't have raid gear. My warrior had T1/T2 back in vanilla. All visiable pieces were T1, so I could live with this. My DK and pally have T10 and T9 respectively. T9 was bland like all ToC stuff, but at least she didn't look like a refugee from a thrift shop. DK T10 was pretty bitchin' really, and I"ll miss it--aside from the hat, but it wasn't THAT bad, just clashed with the coathanger horns she has. |

Better yet, why don't they finally just let Warlocks choose their own names for the pets.
Yes, yes, I'm fully aware of the whole 'to control a demon, first you must know its true name' issue; who's to say the demons I enslaved aren't called Ritalin, Blue Meany, Joizy Goil and Weed Whacker?
Demons are not pets, demons have names already. "to control a demon, first you must know its true name" "to control a demon, first you must know its true name""to control a demon, first you must know its true name" |

The demons would probably appreciate not having a giant "Hi my name is..." tag above their heads with their true name on it.

I like that demons come with names attached, personally. But logically, just because it has a true name doesn't mean you can't make it respond to a fabulously adorable nickname after you've broken it and bound it to your will.

If it weren't open for abuse I'd suggest some sort of anagraminator that obfusticates whatever not-a-pet name you elect to give your demons into something more demon-y...
Say if I called my Void Walker 'Mr Peanut' it'd come out as 'Trupamen' or something equally as meaningless as the current names are - only YOU know what their 'real' demon name is.
Not that I'm trying to give this any more thought than an offhand comment ever needed.

One of the issues with Tier Armor, is each race has it's own art style as well as each class.
Like those leafy armors, those would work great on the Elves, but on say Orcs? Dwarves?
Which isn't to excuse how terrible some (most) tier armor looks, but it is tricky to nail down all the class/race themes together.
They already have armor for the different races. Except they're mostly white armor and WoW doesn't have a social tab.  |

Hunter T8:
That looks like a warrior set, no a hunter. WTF do you need all that armor for when you're plinking shit at range? Ive noticed the rogue sets have similar issues. I was looking at the armory of some rogue with dual axes and I thought it was a fury warrior until I looked up and saw "ROGUE!" |

There's a level 40-something white cloth outfit that is basically a fantasy version of a pimp suit (except without the hat). I had a bank alt dressed in it with the fishing reward cane. |

Random thought, but "pimp" would make good next grade for the loot. Not sure about the associated colour though, with purple already taken. |

A purple pimp suit would be less silly.

The hunter one made me cackle, it's true.
The DK one confirmed my suspicion that even though everyone else is going to leave the skull armor period of their lives behind, my DK won't. Well, I guess mages won't either, yet.

On the plus side the new hunter PVP set is easily in the top 5 best ever sets they've done.

It looks like the round stone anchors that fishermen used to weigh down nets, I think? The armor looks like this guy rolled around on the beach, and whatever stuck is his armor! |

Actually I think the hunter murloc looking thing is freaking hysterical. I would wear that shit all day long on my warrior and run around going Wmrglggrglrlglr! at people. |

I thought the mage T3 set was pretty awesome. Most T3, really, except warlock. I also liked shammy T6 a lot (I like kilts on my female draenei, resto), I enjoyed having lightning swirl around me. And T10 was... decent. Lock and mage T4 was nice, priest T4-6 was very nice, I thought.
But that's really a small number of good-looking sets compared to the ones that are either eyestabbingly hideous or bland. Blizzard's art team just doesn't do a great job all the time. I'll be interested to see if they feel like making hunters look like hunters in this expansion, though.

Considering they made them look like some kind of armored fish above....don't count on it. |
