Tier Sets in an Asian Themed Expansion

[Edlarel]

In an attempt to open some discussion on this, given recent news of our possible venture into asian-esque territory some time next year, I wanted to jump in and see what others think tier gear will look like for classes in this new land? Here are a few possibilities I've come up with.

Rogue - Classic Ninja (hopefully they'll not tear away the undead's clothes this time, but they probably will)...
--------- also suggested was Scorpion/Sub Zero. (credit Ultramonkey)
Warrior - Samurai
Death Knight - Shogun/ronin (similar to samurai, but more dark and weatherbeaten)
Hunter - chinese dragon also suggested chinese lions (Credit Hawt09)
Mage - Japanese Kimono
Paladin - Feudal lord (similar to samurai but with the flaired bottom as usual and more pronounced lordliness to it)
Priest - Budhist robes
Warlock - Oni
Shaman - Raijin Theme (thank you mortis darkskull)
Druid - Kitsune appearance. also suggested Bansai trees for Healing set.

I need to flex my photoshop skills at some point, but if anybody wants to take a stab at one or more of these would be fun, I think.

*EDIT* Added links to possible ideas.

I approve of this thread

I will not be satisfied until i can run around looking like sub-zero.

[Bassch]

Epic! Need people to make the gear that'd suit this now! XD

[Edlarel]

I added links to concepts for this.

[Jinto]

This thread made me lol. Maybe some fanarts will be forthcoming.

For shamans, rocks and thunder would be kinda cool, but not Bonzai trees, thats Druid territory.

I like the Chinese dragon link for hunters though, could look quite cool, curve the shoulders back a bit maybe.

[Taen]

Bonsai tree makes more sense for Druids than Shamans, fox makes more sense for Hunters than Druids.

[Edlarel]

Good point there. It would be more likely on the rocks and thunder idea.

The hunter picture looks a lot like hunter T2.

I like the rest tought.

I want General Tso's Spaulders of Annihilation.

[Constalia]

wait The DK one was that Darthvader in Japan?

[crazysmacker]

i would think the resto druid set would be the bonzai tree and not the whole shammy set. but a great idea anyway

Just imagine: Recipe - Chinese Grand Buffet. It lays out a table with a bunch of food all over it for the raid to eat before they fight the boss....

Dibs on the Sushi Agi Buff food!

But yes, I could see a set of armor being called Stormstout's Regalia/Raiment/Etc... But which? Also there would be one for the other Pandaren, who's name escapes me now.

wait The DK one was that Darthvader in Japan?

Yes, absolutely.

Preferably no Samurai sets, so Pandaren NPCs don't get to wear those and angry Chinese communists don't get pissed off. About warlock, I was thinking more of a Lo Pan theme? Onis don't tend to wear a lot.

not clothes like an oni, clothes to make you look like an oni. Still, Lo Pan is something I hadn't considered.

As to samurai sets on NPCs, have them be humans to save grief.

That Kitsune is one of the most badass looking things I have ever seen.

Theres no issue with having pandas doing violent acts in video games in china, i'm fairly sure this has been proven with a source in another thread

[Mortis Darkskull]

how about a raijin theme for shamans?? rocks and bonsai doesn't seem too impressive lol

As a Panda, I approve of this thread. But wouldn't this be abit unsettling for wow subs in China since they kinda hate anything relating to Japan?
