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!

...made me think of...*
not "thing"
sorry about that
I found most of the sets to look pretty damn ok. The mage set is eh ok, only set i really loved were priest and lock. The rogue set is pretty hilarious, i really hope those eyes glow real bright for me to see em in stealth :D
i like the ,age look its like nerubian with the skull and shroud and the rrogue set when they come to ambush me for complete kill i hope i can c them coming :)
They all look great I guess, but Hunter and Dk t8 look best IMO.
I wonder why type of badges would be required to by T8 gear, or if they're going to do it like they did T7 and t7.5
Different colors are probably different tier levels (8 for 10-man content, 8.5 for 25-man) and possibly PvP? I hope not, since having all 3 look identical except for the coloring would be kinda lame.
Also, I really hope the rogue "scythe" animation thing is attached to the helm and not the shoulders. I wanna be able to turn it off >.<
Orcs have the biggest shoulder armor, as always (that orc warlok had uber shoulders))))
It's like someone ask you: Hey dude, how can i get to Dalaran? - you turn back to answer and >>SLAM<< - you accidently smashed his face with those spikes coming from your shoulders.
Highly unimpressed with the mage set. It looks like nothing but armor. Plate, even...
Apparently Blizz forgot that we're clothies.
Blizzard coppied off of NPCs from Wrath of the Lich King like the DK set is Darion Mograine, The mage set is from a Mage in dalaran in Violet Citadel, and the lock set from the undead guy from the quest where you have to go into Undercity......
anyways they all lok sweet and cant wait for them
HATED the warlock set at first, but now its just meh.
Still think its way too much. Looks like something a skettis should be wearing IMO.
Rogue, dont even get me started. Lets just say if I had an 80 rogue, show helm in interface options would be UNchecked.
can any one say the 8th awsome warlock set :D
all of the sets are nice.. but where is the warrior set.. i´d like to see it
Wheres my Pally Tank Gear!!!!!
i love how th warlocks and DK's looked but like cmon i would love to see pally tier 8 plox
i doubt that the different colors is for different specs cos there were 4 hunter colors and there is onely 1 set needed gues its just because blizz has'nt chosen a color (no other idea why)
all the head pieces on T8 are completely puke butt ugly !!!! especially the rogues. Mind you, I have found this to be the case with all the Tier sets excapt T1 and T2. Since then I play in "hide helm" mode because they are just too hideous. Come-on, the rest of the kit is awesome, make a descent effort on the head peices instead of turning the toons into pseudo Alien vs Predator leftovers .........
