    Monk Primalist Class Tier Set

    To try and revive the forum (last post June 23rd) and start some discussion again: what do you guys think of the Monk Tier set for Dragonflight?
    Obviously it looks kinda off on the bulky as fuck human male but I think the general idea is very nice.



    Here was the concept art for it:

    I don't like it. Monk are agility based, so they should be able to move easilly. How do you want to be agile with so much steel on you. This should be light, allow moving freely. Not looking like a wanny-be steel-box.
    In general I think the armor set now are just slight variation around the same theme/source and does not match the class anymore. Imaging a sneaky rogue wearing 50KG of steel klinging and bumping each time you move.....so sneaky....

    It's not steel; it's rock tied together with bandages and rope.

    To be fair, with Blizzard's art design, it's a bit hard to tell the difference. Weapons have looked like rocks since WotLK.

    The theme of the tier sets seems to be based on the primalists, which is all glowing stone apparently.

    Depends on what type of rock it is though. But yeah, it's not a set that makes you think "Gotta go fast!".

    Which is why the shaman set is looking insanely good for a change.

    Idk, could be pumice, that's low density.
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    Once in blue moon, class that themed around rocks and things gets away with rocky armor.
    Please, there a perfect example of hypocritical thinking:

    Some tier sets you're blown away with how much work was put in and some feel like something did in 5mins

    Why can't they just get back to designing unique tier sets? These look too close to the same.

    I agree overall there's little variation between classes, doesn't help that they use the exact same colors for each set. Also it's funny how all the LFR/normal sets look better than the heroic/mythic ones
