Warlock – Faceless Shroud


A set with the flavor of the Old Gods about it - General Vezax from the Ulduar raid was a reference point. Any warlock tier is a great opportunity to bring a dark and warped aesthetic to player gear and this set was especially ripe for the treatment.

Replacing the caster’s face with writhing tentacles was the ‘hook’ I started the concept with and built out from there. We always try to include numerous points of illumination into a tier set as it helps to tie the various armour pieces together – whether that be glowing gemstones, fiery runes or, as in this case, bulging otherworldly eyes!

    Looks alright, not great. I'm not that excited about it. Maybe a recolor? Maybe also show it not on an undead female? Geez blizz >.>

    interesting set as it relates to lore

    but not very visually stunning

    I wish they used another model to give a better proportion of the set, undead female really diminishes the first impression of the set.

    Hope we can get a view of the set on a human or another race that doesn't have a negative waist size.

    Locks have had some cool sets (lock T5 is definitely one of my faves in the entire game) and this one also looks nice...but dem tentacles at the mouth, what on earth is going on there? Reminds me of this: https://missmonster.myshopify.com/co...acle-half-mask

    My first reaction was to burst out in laughter. Then I looked at it again, and found it to be kinda interesting but incredibly strange at the same time. And the coloring is awfull I would say... All in all i think it's kinda neat looking.

    Hmm, intresting to say the least.

    Oh t1... how embarrassing.
    Really? T1 is still one of my favourite sets. At least on my male orc warlock. As for the T13, the whole thing looks pretty boring, except for the helm, which I would probably turn off, since it looks damn ugly. The helms in our tier sets this expansion have been pretty terrible so far.

    Love it. I like the understated shoulders to draw attention to the massively insane looking headpiece.

    I love it. Love the shoulders, and the helm and the skirt. Seriously, this is a gorgeous set without being too over the top.

    Thank goodness you can hide the helm. It makes me want to level my warlock but on the same token I am dying to see what Mage will look like.
