Mage - Timelord Regalia

It’s fun to put a spin on any caster class that moves it away from the usual wizardly archetype, and this set provided the perfect opportunity to do just that. Gnomish clockwork technology is an established part of the Warcraft universe, but it’s not something we’ve incorporated into a tier of player armor before. The combination of moving cogs, quilted fabric, and lots of buckled straps give the set an intriguing "techno-mage" flavor.

At first i laughed... but it grew on me. like the goggles, not so much the hood. and just wish the shoulders/pauldrons would hug the character's shoulders properly. Just a little more wrap around

i like how warriors get gear based off deathwing and everyone else so far is based off of random things.

mage tier looks like it's based off engineering? druid tier looks like they're based off mushrooms lol. shaman tier i guess is based off bones or bone savenger.

blizz must want ppl to transmong right away lol

not so sure about the goggles, but other than that a cool set imo. Other than the warrior and warlock ones I like all the sets so far... I say down with sets that are themed like the places they came from and up with sets that just match their classes! This isn't Disneyland so lets not dress up in little themed outfits.

Robe looks more like studded leather than cloth. Not a huge fan of it, its not awefull either though. The theme is a bit too specific though, i can see this being nice on Gnomes and Goblins, but on the rest? Meh. Bonus point for Mage Engineers i guess >.>. Getting scared to see Hunter T11 though.

I like it, my only two problems is the goggles not being on the face and the color scheme.

I had kinda hoped that with transmog coming out they might match colors of sets so if you really like t2 shoulders but hate the rest of it there would be a set or two with the same colors that you can mix and match.
