Elite PvP sets from season 2 are here on the PTR!

They mirror season 1 for me. Meaning: Cloth and Plate look amazing, Leather and Mail look mediocre and underwhelming.

Is there one you’re looking forward to earn?

So we get the legendary items for tmog. Nice, I guess?

A bit lazy yeah. Leather and Mail really don’t look “elite” though, I can’t see myself wearing them anytime soon.

Cloth mythic as usually,looks good.

But if this doesn’t screams ‘‘laziness’’ idk what does…

Imagine having the fokin AUDACITY to add already existing items and present them as something ‘‘new’’

Minimizing the effort they need i would say…

The best looking is from the raid.

Both somewhat expected and underwhelming at the same time. Elite PvP plate looks kinda underwhelming, that dusty-white doesn’t quite fit the armor style for me, they pulled it off way better with subverting cloth set for white.

i like the non elite cloth one actually, rest looks like pokemons to me

The elite leather set is exactly the same as the normal raid difficulty set, so is that elite set just a place holder and not the real one yet? It’s literally the exact same except for the diamond glow on the helm is a slightly different tint if you look closely.

They all look trash.

I love how the mythic versions look way better.

Stopped being elite as soon as they downgraded them to 1800. Notice how elite sets have been terrible looking ever since that change

Our current plate elite set looks pretty decent, many plate wearers are rocking it.

Now, current leather and mail on the other hand, they look like cheap halloween costumes, they’re just ridiculous and I’ll never use them.

so all they did is recoloured already existing models?
good to see nobody gives a flying flap about this game anymore, not even designers

i still can’t get why Myth sets are RED, red was always T2 colour. I mean. even current cloth set is yellow, mything is red, just wtf? Bring back RED for ELITE.

Ok sets, nothing special. I will probably never use them. Btw terrible color choice for elite pvp sets.

Haha omg they are so greedy they didn’t spend money to graphics and reused legendary sets xD

It’s called “asset reuse”. They’ve been doing that for elite sets for a very long time, very few elite sets have been original designs in the lifespan of WoW as a whole.

It’s just that people want their elite sets to be instantaneously recognizable, but ever since BFA started they’ve been way too bland more often than not.

That was always sort of the intent. The sets have existed in the game since Beta and share appearance with the legendary items because the background for them is the same. The stuff the Runecarver makes is the stuff you find in Torghast. It’s all his design.
Now we get to raid Torghast and collect the entirety of these sets, so there’s some story implication as well – although the reveal is a bit watered-down when you get it through Wowhead.

Excitement-wise it’s not a huge revelation, because we’ve already seen the appearances before. But aesthetically speaking, they seemed to be quite popular when they were initially datamined. I’d expect lots of people to use them for transmogrification.

For Arena it’s always a bit weird, because Arena has nothing to do with the raid or the story, but the combatant-looking PvP armor in the past wasn’t appreciated that much, so alas it becomes the raid re-color, which is fine I think.

Cool sets. Will be popular. I’ll definitely transmogrify the cloth set for my Shadow Priest. Not sure what color though…

cloth looks amazing, both mythic and elite. the others kinda meh.

Mhm I don’t know, I like basic PVP cloth set more than mythic one.
