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.

    Oh My God.. I can not believe my eyes! Finally a FRESH idea for armor design! High five for new designer. That may even make up for the brainfart of a set you made for druids. And steampunk too! What can be cooler than steampunk? I tell you folks, not a thing!

    I like the inspiration, color scheme, and that it's a little different than the normal mage look... I would change the helm so that the goggles are actually on the character's eyes, and take out some of the quilting since it's kind of a lot. I'm also not crazy about the glove style. Mages have had some pretty iffy sets overall, but my favorite is T4 Aldor.

    I'm pretty sure that's not the actual reason you don't raid. Raiding isn't about playing dressup, it's about conquering challenges in a group. Frankly, I don't understand why you would pay a subscription for an MMO if you don't actually like the multiplayer core of the game.

    Also, this set looks great, any gnome mage I make will be permanently transmogrified into this set.

    Well.....it is a set you need to get used to. Its not bad, but t11 is more my type. And overall all known t13 sets look great. And to all the cry-babies.....just try once to create a set which is completely new compared to all existing sets. Espacially if you give them a little "background-story" which explains why the set looks like this.

    Why no Tier 3 listed? Probably the best looking set due to the colours

    I like this new mage tier set, looks like something out of Final Fantasy.

    Thank god I don't play a mage, the only amazing tier they ever had (from a look pov) was tier 6.

    The set paired with the T4 shoulders and helm might look good.

    It's true. I think a lot of people here are hating on it because it's so unique, but that's what I like about it.

    Very cool idea of a set. Will look absolutely perfect for a gnome engineering mage. omg, i can't imagine all the RP possibilities on that.All in all the set is simple yet very diferent from all the pass sets, so in a way its realy imaginative and cool.Reminds me of torchlight "mage" character, very cool.

    This is pure genius. Dun't understand how you goons could dislike this, with its sexy quilted cusioned fabric. The awesome flipped up goggles on the head and the unusual glove model. All this and they've still managed to keep it looking "mage-like". 10/10 wish I played a mage.
