All Tier Sets TWW S1 - Winners and Losers

That would have been cool but honestly I think that the DK set has potential. Not as a full set but mixed with other sets; someone might come up with something nice.

Edit: I like Evoker and Priest sets.
Monk set is kinda cool but only the green-ish, red and gold PvP coloration.
And DH helmet is interesting.

Hunters always loose

Oh yeah I will give it a go blending some items into my current mog. The lfr tint tends to go quite well with the unholy vibe I’m usually building. It’s just the shoulder and helmet that are real disappointing. Not quite sure what inspiration was, Aztec death god?

The main difficulty with hunter is that it represents too many different fantasies, all of which are contradictory to each other. How do you design a set that satisfies:

  • Elite Archer, the kind that stands on top of a wall and shoots down at enemies before they get anywhere near, likely wears some light armour with maybe some mail (think the elves from the 2nd LotR film). In wow think the ranger general aesthetic
  • Ranger, who’s meant to be light and agile but still has this elite soldier background (think Aragorn or Faramir). In wow think Nathanos.
  • Stalker and who’s a literal hunter, but has more of tribal vibe and uses a spear or other melee weapon (likely wears minimal or no armour in order to make no noise), in wow think Rexxar.

Quite honestly, I don’t think it’s the worst tier set they’ve ever made for hunter, some of those pieces will be very good tmog items, and quite honestly look more like leather than mail.

Like DK is easy, give it skulls, spikes, make it a bit edgy, some dark knight vibes, change the colour around and boom you got it.

Winners:
Warlock, Priest, Evoker

Losers:
Paladin, Shaman.

How are people liking the priest set? Does it not look as bad on other models? I mean yes the naaru thing is cool but the rest of it is horrible! And the stupid big belt that makes you look pregnant, ugh.

Worst of all, of course the shadow version is mythic. It always is. I guess at least our shadowform hides that.

Winners in my opinion are:
Priest
Mage
Warlock
Shaman

Meh-tier:
Druid
Hunter
Rogue

Losing classes:
Deathknight
Warrior

Well what can I tell ya, I don’t like blood elf models, but they’re the most played race in the game, I guess sometimes you’re in the minority. :man_shrugging: It’s just a very thematically strong set which appeals to a fantasy that has been there since TBC. It gives a strong mystical vibe, it’s edgy but it’s still a priest. No holy light vibes, no church vibes, no pope cosplay or angel simp. Just mystical Na’aru vibes.

Shaman’s looks like a leveling set…

Hide the cape. Looks better without it since you get to see the design.

Edit: apparently last part got fixed.

Only issue with the DK one is the helmet. It doesn’t scale properly for the classes making it look ridiculous.

Like it should have been perfect on trolls but it isn’t…

I like all of them.

Kinda funny that the Arathor Outdoor set for plate is MILES better than… Whatever this abomination of a Paladin set is :nauseated_face:

If those Wings on the Shoulder wouldn’t be there, it would ACTUALLY look good.

The worst part is that in the appearance UI they’re flopping about when you turn the model around:

I’m guessing they’re gonna flop around when you’re running and so on considering their behaviour there. I could live with them if they didn’t do that but the flopping around… Holy…

I would prefer them not even existing.

On the other hand tho… The Silver one could look quite well with the Kyrian silver wings…

Becoming full biblical accurate angel there…

It clips, forget it.

Yes it’s vastly superior! To me it’s because it blends more classic fantasy with the original Paladin vibes. The judgement set had a mysterious vibe to it, it was kind of edgy but down to earth somehow. Like a mysterious crusader how’s vowed to never show their face again because of some sort of code.

That’s what I think of when I’m thinking wow Paladin, well that in classic silver hand hammer wielding fellas. These bizarre, angelic power ranger vibe never sat right with me.

I can imagine that many Paladin players will wear the Arathor armor as the new “Judgement” set. Especially because it comes with many fitting weapons.

I definitely will play Flail and Shield / 2hand Sword transmog-wise as Holy/Ret.

Exactly, I don’t even care one bit about the tier set appearance, I will exclusively be wearing outdoor Arathor set :dracthyr_uwu:

Perhaps it’s time to start the “Arathor Inquisition” on my realm as a cross-guild.

Because no one expects the Arathi Inquisition!
