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.

I don't like it. Looks like I'm gonna go swimming with my swimming suit and scuba googles.

Transmog the headpiece with one of the high-collar pieces of the old sets, and you have a Gallifreian suit. You can now drezz for the occasion!

Okay, I ignored the coincidences in the other sets...

but after this, surely someone else might think that these sets seemed to have been designed for the Vashj'ir raid that never came to pass?

The shading of the warlock and druid sets cried out "underwater", and now Mages get something straight out of BioShock. Even if you just consider it "steampunk", the blue mist on the shoulders and the light from the goggles don't help.
