MoP Fashionista: Druid Challenge Mode

Posted in Tech by

Druid challenge mode gear. I think there’s a graphical error in the file for the green one. Can we say shiney gold abs? Anyway not liking this quite as much as I did Tier 13 for druids.

Tier 13 Fashionista — Death Knights

Posted in Tech by

Finally a month behind the times we get to see what the Tier 13 DK looks like. It apparently had to go back because the first design did not come out well. I can only think that the first design was absolutely horrid, because this is a step up to “meh.” The title is “Necrotic Bone” and what can I say about that being an ICU nurse? Need more black… I’m beginning to think that no one in Blizzard’s art world picks up a medical photo book. There’s bone there, but it’s not necrotic. The official blog states they were trying to downplay the use of skulls. Well if you ignore the belt & the helm then they succeeded.

What’s going on with the purple & the green? Ugly if you ask me. The blue set is ruined by the brown section even though it got the blue glow to match the rest of the set. The red got the fiery glow to match that set as well.

You know? The more I look at it I go from “meh, I don’t care” to “Ugh, ugly.” Oh well, Tier 10 Transmog.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Priests

Posted in Tech by

What I first thought of when I saw this were the terrifying stone angels in the Doctor Who episode “Blink.”  Grifiend stated that they look like The Big O (which I had to go look up as I’m pretty much an anime newb even though I associate with @Quutar). I agree but it wasn’t what first pop’ed in my mind.  The spiky setting sun is a great touch.  The only changed I really noticed between the male & female models was the female mask showed the chin while the male did not showing the goatee of the mask instead. I enjoy the masks on the shoulders.

The yellow one is my favorite. Really not feeling the purple version. I’m probably one of the few people who don’t care for a purple/red color combination. I could never be a red hat society member unless they allowed me to wear black instead of purple (heck I’ll probably be driving a motorcycle if I make it to 50).

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Paladins

Posted in Tech by

Dear Paladins, I’m jealous. I want this. But then again since my paladin alt is currently level 64 it is possible for me to get her leveled & into the LFR to get at least the beginner Tier 13. You get wings made of plate metal with pretty gems inlaid in. They wings could have been smaller, but overall they still work.

Guess what guys, NO SKIRT! I always think it’s weird to see a skirt in mêlée. Druids get a pass since if you’re in mêlée usually you’re in kitty or bear form (Let’s put a skirt on a bear!…. On second thought let’s not). But ret & prot pallys in skirts make me want to say “Get in the back & heal.”

The ladies are showing the bare midriff. While for art work it looks gorgeous. But you know stomach wounds are nasty….

Also they slightly changed the chest artwork for the ladies to have the horns encircle the breasts. While October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month (SAVE THE BOOBIES!), this is a little disconcerting in the way they are designed. I’m a little weirded out by them.

I saw some people comment on the boots looking like the backs were made of leather. My response? More comfort. Do you really want to be walking around in metal boots all day? Just slap some plate segments on the important parts & walk around in some very comfortable leather! (this ad is brought to you by the Leather is Better Rogue department)

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Mages

Posted in Tech by

This is one of my top 3 of the Tier 13 sets. Mage, Paladin & Priest won me for Tier 13. The mages were the first one that I saw that I said “I WANT!” One day some fully tiered mage is going to be sapped & I’m going to walk away with those robes… & the shoulders & the helm & the gloves…. I might be nice & leave him his pants…. Nah! Who am I kidding those would be gone as well. With a name like Timelord I want a blue police box to go along with it.

Look at that lovely quilting. Looks like they let the kindergartner sew up the side on this one, but they kept the thread close to the same color, but just the sides you have the lovely quilting to distract you.  I found a mistake on the female model you can see the bra on the base skin in the cleavage opening & it’s even worse in the back. Bad form there.

I love the techno goggles helm. There is an issue with the seam where the helm & the chest meets in the back, but overall I think they tried to make it seem as the helm & chest piece were a single piece if you can ignore that line that just a little off..

Those Cogwheels on those shoulders move! I guess you guys can tell my main’s an engineer and a gnomish one at that.

The reddish top one is my favorite, but I love all the color schemes.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Hunters

Posted in Tech by

The hunters. One that I’m not looking at personally as one of my 85 classes. But maybe before the end of this expansion. She’s already 51 & I’ve got lots of heirlooms on her. So if I put my mind to it I could probably have her leveled & geared enough for the looking for raid group. My problem is that I have ADD with my alts. I can’t consistently level one or the other. It’s just kinda “I feel like healing dungeons” or “I feel like tanking dungeons” or “I feel like questing now.” Anyway on to the fashion critique.

 

This is named Wyrmstalker & I was talking to a hunter who was ecstatic over them bringing back the stalker to hunter gear. Overall, I’d say I like it. It’s not one of my very favorite out of the Tier 13, but it’s not one I hate either. It looks not to be leather or mail, but of scales. The artwork on the boots I have no clue if that is supposed to be mail or scales or what. It looks like a bit of bad artwork for the boot base.

 

I’d say the silver one (bottom) is my favorite of the colors, followed by the burgundy one (top), then the purple one (middle) is my least favorite of the three.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Druids

Posted in Tech by

I like this set. I guess that is great since my main alt is a druid. Granted I hardly ever get to look at her gear since it’s hidden under the giant chicken suit. But the phosphorescent mushrooms Blizzard was  aiming for came across really well in my opinion. The bioluminecent fungi avood looking like you fell asleep to visit the Emerald Dream on the forest floor & just recently awoke. You just haven’t brushed off all the mushrooms yet.

The top set is what I refer to as the hot pink set. I like how the hood & shoulders are like tree roots with the shelf mushrooms growing on them. The belt looks like a WWE plate of blood boil on the hot pink set. The kindergartner seamstress looks like there is improvement & with the complexity to the design the dark stiches don’t even appear until your searching for it. In the hot pink version it looks like the base material isn’t leather, but rather tree bark. I guess it’s hard to pull small unnoticible seams when you’re using tree bark as a material.

The middle set is what I’m calling the gold set. It has lots of purple tree bark as well. It still like this even though it finishes as my least favorite of the 3, but I’d still wear it & like pretty well it on my druid. But I’d feel like I was back in high school on a pep rally day because the purple & gold was my high school colors.

The lowest set is what I’ve been refering to as the blue set. This is my favoite of the three, but of course my favorite color is purple. The green tree bark works better that the purple to my eye.

I’ve been thinking about switching my boomkin to worgen so I can have human form for standing around in Stormwind. I kinda like how this looks on a human.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Rogues

Posted in Tech by

As my personal main being a rogue I’ll start here. I’ve been very vocal about the Kindergarten seamstress work. If you zoom in there are leather creases which I’m cool with & leather is a hard one it seems to me for people to replicate the texture of leather. I like that it looks like leather, but I don’t like seeing the seams.

The lower one is what I’m calling the red version. It was what was previewed on the official Blizzard site. I dislike this one with a passion. The seams assault my eyes. It also seems too…. bright. We’re a stealth class. The poison green shoulders are… interesting. Are we going for Christmas colors here?

The middle one (aka the green version) is kinda grown on me. It’s a bit of a bright green. The main thing that I think of with rogues that are green are the poisons. The leather doesn’t look quite so much like real leather with the green set, but the grey stitching doesn’t assault my eyes quite so much. The gold glow of the shoulders seem to work with the green much better than the red version.

The blue version (the one on top) is the one I’m partial too. It still suffers from the horrible stitching. As with the green it’s a little bit of a bright color & the leather doesn’t look like real leather as much as the red version, but put all together it’s still my favorite. I almost expect blue shoulders to breath frost bolts out on occasion.

I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t a black version, but with what we’ve learned about the legendary daggers I think that might have been skirting DC comic’s intellectual property a little too much. I was thinking maybe a navy, but we didn’t really get any dark tones for rogues this tier.
