So, I know a lot of people were unhappy with many Paladin sets, and the Naxxramas tier 3 Redemption armor was no exception. Now when I heard Blizzard was going to reuse the tier 3 armor sets for Wrath, I was less than exuberant. I thought overall the armor wasn't bad, bad I always hated that stupid helm, and wasn't a big fan of the shoulders. I thought, "Maybe a recoloring is what this suit needs." ...

I looked up the sets on mmo-champion, and for the most part I like the new Naxx sets.

Death Knight - bad ***.

Warrior - bad ***.

Paladin - these make me want to cry and run home to mommy.

Anyone else that thinks these look dramatically WORSE than the original Power Ranger suit everyone loved to hate? Blizzard, why dost thou hate us so ...

EDIT: Hell, they changed that god awful Warlock bug-eyed helm too: looks better, nto good, but better.

Oh, man...

If they just removed those stupid blades from the shoulders it'd look fine. I mean, I can turn helm graphics off. But the shoulderpads virtually define a set. If they're huge and retarded it makes the rest of it look huge and retarded.

How come they get skulls and death's heads and we get...whatever it is we get?

Don't show helm, wear guild tabard, but what to do about those shoulders? I won't be able to fit through a door!

Makes the paladin look like:

1) A transformer
2) A wierdo supervillan type dude with a rubbish suit

Like he said, the warrior and paladin sets are recoloured T3 sets, which were on the whole impressive for most classes. The original T3 warrior set was actually a perfect death knight set. It was so perfect I think some machinima guy used the set to dress Arthas when he made a cameo.

We appear to have been nerfed visually :(

Really lame....didn't I read that Blizzard was planning to make the gear more unique from now on to avoid our current situation of everyone looking the same with the exception of color? Guess not, seeing as how that is just old gear with a new color...GG blizz, hire a new visual design person.

Shoudl have made an exeption to pallies and used the Judgement set with minor changes and a colour chane. At least that looks cool.

Yes I know there is a 'purple judgement set' but I'm sure pallies would prefer that over the 'Transformerbatmanpowerranger' suit

I agree, Judgement would have been MUCH better. I understand why they are reusing the sets they are, and that's ok with me, but for the love of all that is Holy, WHY these colors Blizz?

They do look really lame. Perhaps if the model wasnt an old human with a grey beard. Only thing missing is the ball of curly hair coming out of the top of the chest armor, rofl.
