Paladin Tier 17?

[ujx]

How can anyone like this set? It's an uglier version of the already ugly T4. I figured after dwindling subscriber numbers for years that Blizz would stop with the rehashed shit. I was wrong.

This looks like a revised/updated Paladin T4.

Not that i'm complaining by any means.

Indeed, not half as bad as I feared it to be. Seems to be based on Draenei design. I just wish the belt buckle wouldn't look like a willy hanging between the legs.

Still I'll probably be using another transmog set. Perhaps with pieces of this armor - the ones with less pink...

Hey, we're going back to Draenor, so we're getting more Draenei influenced armor. Especially Paladins, since the Draenei have tens of thousands of years of Vindicator tradition.

Guess you are one of those skirt boys?

It's not rehashed. It's a very Draenic themed Paladin set. Also stop using the sub argument. They reuse themes all the time. Rehashing hasn't been a thing since Cata. Nice fedora though.

While I agree with nearly all of this, his avatar is wearing a Trilby.

OT: Loving this set, would prefer a color other than green though. blue, red, white, or
yellow come to mind as Pally colors.

I really wish they would. Not even 8 piece; they can leave out the ring slot. I'd like all visible armour pieces (save perhaps for cloaks) to be incorporated into tier sets again however.

Bracers were the 8th slot, not ring. Rings were the 9th piece for the original Naxx tier.

On-topic: that tier is GORGEOUS.

This is the first Paladin tier set that I've actually liked as soon as I saw it. To me, most recent tier sets haven't really fit the Paladin theme very well but this one does a good job of that. I like the Draenei crystals on the gear too.

Interesting animations on the shoulder pads. Wonder if that's just going to randomly move or if there will be some form of control over how the shoulders sit.

Like other have said, it looks like T4 and tbc cinematic armor. Maybe they will copy other t4 sets a bit on every class... because nostalgia you know. They did copy some T3 a bit when they made dungeon set 3 armors so why not?

[Calamari]

Amazing looking set, grats paladins. Hope they make a matching off-set so my warrior can enjoy it too. ^^ If this is the level of art quality we can expect for WoD raid gear design, well paint me pleased.

Was hoping for something completely new, but it's not bad. If all classes get a slightly altered version of their T4, i'll be ok with this.

Since this is a Draenei themed set, it seems logical that the Challenge Mode set will be more savage hnnnnng and primal than this.

What would more "savage" mean for a Paladin? A Diablo 3 Crusader? If so, I am totally fine with that.

WTB Flails.

Helmet is awful.

Helmet is awful.

They usually are for Paladins. Last decent one was Firelands if you ask me.

I think it looks decent. It matches the set pretty well. Since this tier set is based on T4 you should look at that sets helmet. You will probably redefine your definition of awful.

Spoken like someone who doesn't play Tauren. :-(

I think the only decent Paladin Tier helmet for a Tauren has been Throne of Thunder. It matches the long forward shifted neck.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Tier 17 will look on my holy cow, I think it's a great throw back to two of the nicest sets we had and looks iconic without looking generic as T16 does.

[flyingtoastr]

T6 is still the best.

Love the set, but hate when there is neck visible with a fullly-enclosed helmet.

Anyone know how to model view it like the warrior gear is on the front page? I'd curious how the shoulders sit on mbelf, because it's IMO something like 1 out of five shoulders look good on a mbelf.

Wowhead has it up on the model viewer. Not sure if MMOC does.
