I like the color palette and the feel of the set itself. I just don't like the collar.
Thankfully, I can turn that off (and I've been doing so pretty much every set but 7 anyways)

As I said in the other thread, Helms are optional. I like the set as a whole, just not that collar.
Thankfully, there's a solution to that!

/hide helm....
Aside from that it looks niffty
Hey man, I'd prefer a soup pot on my head anyday to having urinals on my shoulders acompanied by turbans >_>
I agree with the fact that it looks like T8, one of the tier sets I've liked the most for priests.
Also, was it just me, or did the helm itself remind anyone of the Saarebas from Dragon Age II? It's just with the stitches on the edge, and the whole huge mouth collar thing. Just my initial impression.
I was thinking basketball hoop moreso than anything, but I reckon I can drink some holypriestsoup out of that thing on my hunter.
Its better than t11 at least... I´m just not overly impressed with it. I keep thinking T4 tbh - or any other of the meh sets without a proper head "look".
Oh! And another thing!
Since it is a fire raid, I guess we also have to take into fact that these tier pieces are supposed to look like they can save us from flames
I mean, My imediate reaction when I tried to link it to something else was the MGS3 boss the fury!

Fireproof suits and all, I think this tier is designed smartly
Astronaut!
It looks like a poor version of tier 8 if you ask me...
Imo Blizzard havn't been able to pull off any decent tier set since tier 6 - Which is probably why I dont expect much from their design team either...
It's getting worse every tier, design is bulky and less distinct, or if it is, not in a good way. Shoulder's getting bigger and bigger, and the robe design overall is getting less detailed. They are replacing fine cloth patterns with plain thick lines, it's faster for them to ship out a set this way.
As for the equipment dropped follow raid theme philosophy, that's just an excuse for less creativity. It's easier to cut elements from bosses and environment then duplicate them in armor sets. Compare with this to Tier 8, it's a really sad sight.
The mage and priest tier are almost the same, shoulder dimension is identical, probably based on the same base model.

Thats what i think when i look at it.
Don't sweat the details!!!
Another fail set. From toilet bowl shoulders to a soup bowl head. WTB a set that makes us look like Priest again.
For the hype of firelands is this...disappointing...big time..
Oh hey priests... just thought I'd drop in to give you this:
My first thought was it was some kind of space suit. Seeing Buzz Lightyear posted above means I'm not the only one. I also think the shoulders look oversized compared to everything else, and sticking out awkwardly like they've been hastily stuck on at the lost moment.
