Tier 8 gear for priests is decent. It's not the best set we've ever had, but it's not the worst, either. But that's just it: It's meh.
Recently, I was looking back through concept art for T8 gear and came across this gem.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a sexy set right there.
I would kill for that set. That concept art took epic and ramped it up to eleven. I can't get over how much I love that concept art.
Now, what happened? Were they afraid of making us look too badass?
It just concerns me that we started with concept art to rival the badasses memes are made of, and we get a facemask rather than a hood, and non-existent wings.
The concept art had the possibility to rival Tier 6, but in practice it failed.
I'm just wondering who could look at the transition from concept art to live items and think it was a good choice?
It's one thing if technological limitations prevented them from allowing it to reach its full glory, but I stand by my opinion that they could have had something wonderful, but dropped the ball.
I'm not saying T8 is bad (It could be worse. We could look like the rogues'), it's just not as... amazing as it could be.
So what about you? What do you think about T8?
