Tier 8 Gear Preview From MMO-Champion
Posted by Juggynaut on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 40 Comments Tags: Raid, gear, mmo champion, tier 8
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!

nice gear, wheres teh pally stuff!!!??!
Maybe First, FIRST!
Now I get to look like Darion, sweet!
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
very cool looking gear. I liked the priest the most from the vid
Nice gear looks, but where's the warrior's?
The Hunter gear looks cool :-) the Rouge gear looks so badass, I cant wait to get this gear for my Hunter and DK.
i like how the undead priest is walking through stormwind
must have healed all the allies away haha
where's pally and shaman gear?!
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
i remember seeing an NPC wearing the warlock set.. cant wait to pick up the first piece of it :) looks prober evil/misunderstood ;)
This will be my course of action the first time I see a rogue with that helm shown..
/target rogue
/point
/lol
/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.
they all look sick
epic lolz @ gnome warlock
Dammit i want warrior im looking forward to the evil hunter look and my awesome lock gear but WTF is my baby tankz gear! Make it soon blizzard! by the way the vid was kinda lame to many chicks in it i dont even have a girl char besides they never showed a dranei male too...
sweet looking like darion and putress, i like the new tier 8
I just hope the pally gear doesnt make me look like Voltron again.
No druid T8? QQ lol
Heyo!! Warlock set (aka Apothecary Putress set =/...) and Death Knight (aka Darion set...) are bad ass.
the priest set makes me wanna power level my priest to 80...and i mean having friends run me through instances for easy xp XD
priest looks bad ass
hahaha, lolz at the gnome lock. coming from a gnome lock myself, that was just funny
meow
ok that hunter set looks beautiful i just wana know whats with the different colors
I think that different colors = different set bonuses...
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
