Warrior T17 Appearance

[Deleted]

Now, I'm not usually one for rampant speculation, but looking at the Paladin T17 Sneak Peak that got posted got me thinking.

The T17 they showed looks remarkably like paladin's T4 Justicar set, or seemed at least heavily inspired by it. Would any of you be particularly disinclined towards an updated/animated version of T4 Warbringer?

Personally, I love the Warbringer set, and I'd love to see it get the same treatment.

EDIT: Looks like this just got datamined from the Alpha Client. Could be a really cool set IMO, opinions?

I liked the destroyer set more :<

especially the green recolor.

On the one hand I think it's lazy to reuse old armor designs, but on the other hand every class (save DKs and Monks) had at least one awesome set in TBC that would be nice to see updated. Warriors had three awesome sets, so if everyone's T17 is a TBC redo, Warriors are guaranteed to look good :P

[Ansi]

Heh imagine they do T4, T5 and T6 inspired tiers through the next three patches...

I wouldn't even be pissed.

[Krommm]

If it was as well done as paladins then perhaps. I think some "remakes" are fine, but I'd like to see something new.

[Roshar]

I do expect T17 to be a "remake" of the T4 set for all classes. I'm actually looking forward to it.

[Valech]

if they remake t6 with moving parts ´n shit ill never speak ill about any of their decisions...

I'm 50:50 on this.

One one side I'd really love to see a fully updated Warbringer with more fire/animated parts.

One the other side, if that's the quality of tier sets we're going to get, i'd love to see something really Iron-Horde inspired for a tier set as well.

Im not a fan of warrior tier4. I hope for Blackhand or Grom inspired warrior tier

Oh so much this. I never cared for Tier 4 warrior, and considering we're going up against some of the biggest warriors (and how the fanbase USUALLY responds to 'rehashed content') I really would rather see largely new gear as opposed to remade/based on past stuff (though I do like T5, still would rather see new gear than remakes/based on)

If we can get a Blackhand set, I rerolling to Orc warrior!

[Sylreick]

I'd be fine with t17 being a revamped version of t4 for everyone, but t18 and 19 I would prefer to be wholly new sets.

[Bromgar]

Haven't seen a Warrior-ish set in a very long time, for me the MoP ones didn't gave me the feel of a warrior .So if they gonna remake them hope they are badass.

I think people are jumping to the "t17 is going to be remakes" a little prematurely. I think they're still sticking to the "first tier is about showing off different aspects of the expansion" route, which, given that the Draenei are playing a central role in the story, would almost certainly lead to a Draenic set. Now they have said that they were looking to incorporate old Vanilla/BC designs into new armor, rather than revamping the old sets themselves, when it feels appropriate, and it is pretty easy to see that there's definitely inspirations from both t4 and t5 paladin gear, but I think the "driving force" behind it was a set of Draenic origins.

As for Warrior, assuming they take the same route, I think we'll see a set based off of Blackhand (Maybe Grommash/Warsong Clan, although I think that'll likely be saved for a later tier) If they do decide to incorporate an old warrior tier into it, I would put my money on t6. It's a community favorite, has lots of spikes, and could be pretty easily stretched to fit a "Blackhand/Blackrock" theme.

Oh, I expect only the first tier set to be a remake of the TBC sets. I don't know if it'll be a remake of T4 for all classes or if they'll remake T4 through T6 based on the class. I expect T18 and T19 to have new art. To me, it just makes sense to evoke TBC since we are basically in the same place, except it's unspoiled....for now. And it would make sense to do so in the first tier of raiding. Plus it'll also mean you get to keep the "cool" art from the boss armour sets for later in the expansion, like how the Deathwing human-form set appeared in T13.

I don't think its completely out of the question, seeing as how T7 revisited Naxxramas was a remake of T3. Now we're revisiting Draenor/Outland, so I wouldn't be surprised if T17 is a remake of T4.

The Paladin T17 actually looks like a mix of T4 and T5 actually, so it might be better to say that it was "inspired" by T4 rather than being a "remake". I'm not a huge fan of the Warrior T4, but they could probably take some elements from it and make a really badass-looking set.

[Mirishka]

especially the green recolor.

The one that never got belt or boots

[Dragoncurry]

LET THE REMAKES FLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TBC Warrior armor was NASTY!

Iron horde inspired doesn't mean much more than SoO gear. Yay, sticks and metal. I love that they are updating tier 4, and hope they do the next two sets as well. Tier 6 is my favorite set of armor and has been since I got most of it when it was relevant (damn you sunwell).
