Tier 8 Gear Preview From MMO-Champion

One of my favorite things about picking up a new piece of loot, or even just seeing a piece linked, is trying it on in the dressing room by Ctrl+clicking it and seeing how cool it looks. While we've heard a few details about the next major content patch and the raid that will be included in it, Ulduar, we haven't seen any phat lewtz that are going to be added.

Well, the folks over at one of my favorite WoW sites, MMO-Champion.com, have put together a six minute video that shows off models that are wearing what is presumably Tier 8 pieces for Death Knights , Hunters (starts at 0:53), Rogues (1:35), Mages (2:40), Warlocks (3:45), and Priests (4:50). Unfortunately, there is no set implemented for any of the other classes (including the best class, Shaman), but I have to say the priest set looks pretty sweet and that rogue set is very creepy. Check out the video below!

Hmm,I've already seen those sets before,but not on MMO-Champion,but on a YouTube vid who alleged that they were T7.They predicted the wrong tier,but the right skin

I laughed at the rogue set and how it was modeled on all females. >.> Yeah...

Oh, and your warlock is smoking.

WTB shaman, warrior, and paladin tier 8 :) the rest looked sweet.. though the warlock sets are getting too complicated after my opinion

Can't wait to see my rogue in the red rogue set

This will be my course of action the first time I see a rogue with that helm shown..
/target rogue
/point

/rofl

For locks it will be /cower

The video should have shown at least one of the rogues stealthed since it would orient that upturned clown face more forward... I can only guess at the motivation which would push them to accept that design.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHenry

ok that hunter set looks beautiful i just wana know whats with the different colors

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered Commentertater

I think that different colors = different set bonuses...

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBelias

I agree that the Priest set looks awesome (although I don't see the point of a Priest covering their nose and mouth), but the other sets look like they:

A) Belong to the wrong class (the rogue helm would make more sense on a warlock)

or

B) Are completely overdone, and they would look better if the developers just toned it down a notch. They don't have to have all the extra stuff added to look cool. The Judgement Armor set (Paladin Tier 2) was relatively simple compared to raiding sets now, but still is the best looking set in the game in my opinion.

And while I'm on the subject, how is a Rogue supposed to blend in to the shadows when they have a giant skull on their heads, a vampire style cloak that comes up to be level with the top of their head, little trails of light shooting off in every direction, and giant claws reaching out to rip up whatever happens to be in front of them. That made me thing of goblin shredders or harvest golems, not a Rogue trying to sneak up behind someone.

Well, that's my rant
