Warrior – Colossal Dragonplate


A simple concept: Let’s make a warrior tier that looks like Deathwing! Gnarled dragon horn and angular elementium plating with burning fire behind it were the key ingredients.

We build our player armor from a number of base templates, which means the concepts need to conform to predetermined shapes. However, shoulder pads and helmets are uniquely modeled for each set and that gives us great opportunities to create eye-catching silhouettes. In this instance, the sweeping horn shapes ensure a powerfully brutal-looking set for warriors.

    Just saying that T7 is nowhere near that awesome as T3 was. Just compare the shoulders and you see why. Kinda sad I will never have T3 on my warrior because i had another main in classic

    No T3, so I guess those won't be available for transmogrifing. Can anyone confirm this?

    How about taking half a second to view the whole picture before going OMG thats not tier 3 blizz, it clearly says its tier 2.5 right above it.

    Ok for those who didn't read all the pages: the sets preview is what is available for transmogrify as complete sets (with bonus), and not the tiers.
    Tone down the reds and it competes with the t6 for me. Very good job there, Blizzard!

    If DKs won't get house-sized helmets, I will be happy, seeing the direction they go with tiers I am sure everyone's will be badass.

    New Tier looks amazing, all the previous tiers look like stewed shit compared to it. That texture work is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly blind.

    You know what Deathwing is made of right?

    I dislike it, too.. who wants to look like a bastard of dragon? I would engage every one with this helm just in case deathwing got reborn. I hoped for some dragon theme, but more like Hunter t2 and not the human form of Deathwing. *lame* *boring*

    Newsflash, opinion on set visuals is subjective. Subjective: Old tiers look like low poly low res shit. Discuss.

    Judging by this, all classes will have the basic Deathwing helmet (chin) and shoulders, but unique to their class.... Interesting, I LIKE IT!

    Looks pretty freaking awesome if you ask me.

    Though it was to be expected that it's just deathwings human form.
