T10 - Thoughts

I know this is premature because the shaman set has yet to be revealed, but here are my thoughts on Tier 10 Armor sets as they sit right now.

Death Knight, not bad overall, it has the right design for me to think of DK's at least, though I do wish they had more elaborate shoulder designs. The helm, not pictured, is pretty cool as well.

Druid, this design screams Feral Druid all over. It says that I'm moments away from turning into a bear and eating your face. This doesn't surprise me though considering the love that feral has recieved all through Wrath of the Lich King. Overall, I have to say good design though.

Hunter, meh, nothing special. It's cool with the golden glowy eyes effect, but the design adds to the arguement that Blizzard isn't trying that hard to come up with new designs for their armor anymore.

Mage, Fail with a capitol F. Seriously. C'mon, Blizz! It's bad enough that your armor designs are getting less and less impressive as time goes by, but now you're trying to make mages look like bad wannabe warlocks? For shame.

Paladin, Fail again, but at least with paladins I'm not surprised. The only paladin design I've ever been impressed with is is Tier 1 and everything after has fallen short of even mediocre in my opinion. Kind of like the class itself. Now you're doing the same thing that you're doing with mages. Everything below the neck makes paladin look like they're trying to immitate elemental shamans. The helm itself? Rididculous. Heavy gorget without face protection? Please.

Priest, not bad, but not great either. It has a design that looks like a priest at least, so it gets points for that, but it still falls short with what they did with previous sets I think.

Rogue, this set is win. I love the design that makes them look like ghast mobs, with that one eye in the middle of the face, and the noose around the neck. The armor itself isn't bad either. I'll say that being ganked by rogues wearing this won't exactly be enjoyable. At least it'll be quick.

Shaman, not out yet. I'm both anticipating and dreading what they're going to do. T9 was kind of a let-down so I'm hoping they come up with something good here.

Warlock, so far the most win of any of the sets yet revealed, and I really mean that. Not only does it look like a warlock set, but it also says "I'm a vicious cult leader dude and I'm going to royally fuck you up if I catch you." I'm going to have to start leveling my lock again.

Warrior, I dig the big curvy horn look of the helm. It speaks loudly of the term "Warlord". However, the pig face shoulders I find to be kind of blah. Not saying they're boaring, because they're not. Blizzard actually made an interesting design for warriors, just not one that I'm interested in.
