Ugh. Fail again.

This would have been better for WotLK, but even so, I hate it totally.

Yak Stalker? Maybe...

But first thing that came to my mind was a Pinsir Stalker!

yes and ironically the murlock one was the first tier of the expansion >_>

Another hunter set I'll probably skip...thank Primus for transmog! The only one I ever liked was the black Cryptstalker set...everything else has just been...meh.

Me to :) I'm currently using it (with WotLK rep shoulders as I don't really raid, and Keepers of Time tabard to complete my "Honorary Bronze" looks) and I think I'll be keeping it through MoP untill I -eventually- get the challenge one.

Yep. If I could go back and get the heroic T11 set, I would but getting a group to do that would be impossible (I still can't get my guns from Ulduar...) perhaps I can go with one or two at lvl 90 when geared...

And.. Yak Stalker.

WHY are we stalking Yaks, are we only capable of stalking slow moving herbivores?

I can't wait for T15 - Crane Stalker. (At least we'll be able to get side-jobs as Vegas show-girls with that tier)

Well... I don't mind it. It doesn't have horrible troll feet, fish bones, or dear god at least it's not Gronnstalker (I will never forgive them for Gronnstalker...)

I do agree it's kind of ... well... dull, compared to a lot of the other sets. I suspect the helm will look okay on a worgen but there's something about that eye-glow graphic that bothers me a lot. Maybe it's not rendering properly? And I don't think the boots are big enough, which makes the whole thing seem kind of top-heavy.

However, so far the prize for Most Fugly Tier Set has to go to mages this time around. My god, what were they thinking. What the hell's up with the 'running lights' theme... do flying mages need them for air traffic control, or what? Good lord that set is goofy beyond words; I'm so glad I have the Aldor set to mog it to.

When I first looked at this I thought it was death knight armor from that helm alone. Pretty disappointing seeing the hunter tier next to that awesome druid tier. *makes grabby hands at the druid helm*

The light blue fur one I might like on Ptaysanwee, but I'll have to wait and see how it looks on a female Tauren.
I, too, am going to have to wait and see how it looks on Tauren before deciding whether I like it or not. However I'm 99% sure that, once again, I'll have my helm turned off.

It's more like we're dressing up as yaks so no one sees us as a threat.

Then we hit rapid fire and shoot their faces off. :D

I think the helm of this set would actually be lovely if the horns weren't so large. It is my favourite tier helm though; I love the fur details on the lower section.

It's not a bad set overall, and I think it is definitely better looking than a lot of the hunter tier sets (but considering how ugly they were, that does not say much). The shoulders I'm not sure about, but the rest does look rather like a green set. The helm is just a bit...exagerrated when constrasted to the simplicity of the rest of it. It has a 'hunter' feel to it, and I love sets like that, but I cannot help but feel that it is a bit too simple. With just a bit more detail and flair, particularly to the chest, it could have been great, but as it is, it's alright.
