not buyin it

Of course, silly. No one can buy it, yet! Wait until April 19th for pre-purchase!

Imagine you're the necromancer fan who has been waiting years for this and then your tier sets are all demon themed warlock stuff while the bard microclass gets their fancy class specific tier sets.

That would suck hardcore and honestly, Dark Rangers would have a similar problem, though to a lesser extent. Hunter armor is ugly as fuck ninety percent of the time. I'd be pissed on their behalf, honestly.

Just give them their own tier sets tbh. The tier set argument is the biggest one against microclasses though imo. Im mostly just playing devils advocate about them cause the rest of that leak makes sense with knowing the name and the things that came out on PTR after the fact.

They only brought back tier sets after saying it is too much creative effort to come up with new designs for the same classes all the time because players wanted them back that badly though so I really can't seem them 1. reverting back to the removal of tier sets already or 2. bringing in microclasses that create even more work when a single class could cover three specs with one armour design.

Also just thinking about things, the Dark Ranger and Lordaeron stuff has been a thing for a while now though it seems they are now actually using it in 9.2.5. So it's not really that big of a leap to go from "world revamp" which has been begged for for a while now, to just Lordaeron/Quel'thalas revamp (since they should be attached by now if any revamp were to happen, and especially with the Scarlet stuff added at the end of BFA as they are centered in Lordaeron). So it's not completely unlikely that that OP lucked out on the name as well as the Lordaeron stuff even back then, right?

Tbh she needs it. She's basically in straight up lingerie and regardless either way needs some sort of update and a new outfit is a good shorthand for growth.

Still find it weird the nelf armor for NPCs they added in bfa but then a year or two later they are covering up characters (even prior to events from last year) probably because they dont reallyind it that much in game but they dont want it across marketing. But the characters still need to mach the promo material

I find the mail sets in general leave much to be desired. My first ever character was a hunter and my main since Cata has been a shaman and mail just does not have that many sets I like...

In the case of that set though it is a direct recreation of something people have wanted for years AND the male version is even skimpier than the female one. It's like the incubus: the problem isn't that there is a half naked woman with a whip, it's that there isn't also a half naked man with a whip.

Let's get Kalecgos into some skimpy stuff and then we're good to go.

I'm the same. I always find myself obsessively collecting random parts of certain sets just to make a decent looking transmog. I would like an armor set not made from the body parts of my enemies.

Agreed, Hunter/Shaman armour is the worst Hunter has 1 real awesome set out of all tiers which was the Legion one, everything else looks garbage.

Again agreed, I wish they'd do better with mail armour.

Probably more likely Nozdormu since he is already shirtless and associated with deserts and sand. Beach boy? Slap a speedo, sunglasses, and flipflops on him!

has this been psoted here?found it n the reddit thread

This plus this datamined armor pieces: https://twitter.com/keyboardturn/sta...74500748734467, pretty much confirms the art as real.

As a resto shaman, there is not a single shaman set that is themed around water and healing and if they ever did one I feel like they would probably overdo it and make it too gaudy with watery assets anyway. I did like the blue feathers set from Pandaria and used that for a while because the colours reminded me of resto.

OH WAIT JUST A GOD DANG MINUTE

That leak, combined with the armor textures....

Holy crap, everything's just falling into the puzzle just perfectly.

I'll take my Dragonflight expac to go, thank you

Yep, almost every mail transmog set I've put together is a mashup of individual pieces from various questing, dungeon, and least often, tier sets.

Indeed, the pieces discovered are falling into place.

[Izalla]

Wow that's a good catch. So this is legit as fuck.

Would love to see this turn into a leak as big as Cata was.

I don't want that at all! There would be nothing to find out at the reveal during peak hype time!

[Hugnomo]

Okay I'm more convinced on the posters now. That texture indeed looks like Alexstrasza's appearance there.

All I'd want to know before the reveal is if there are playable dragons in someway. Drakonids, dragonkin (current races but with dragon stuff added on), I don't care.

I need that finality. I have been waiting for playable dragons for years.

[Izalla]

Yeah that's fair but I'm weird and like spoilers for most everything.

I LOVE spoilers and my fiance hates watching shows and movies with me because a lot of the time I've already looked up spoilers before deciding to watch them. But I have no self control for just not looking at the leaks and datamining and wouldn't be able to stop myself from looking even though in this case I would rather see the reveal.
