That looks like the correct right shoulder, but the wrong left shoulder. And I wonder whether the white and black sets will show up at some point....

I was kinda hoping that they would use the white skin, oh well.
Hope that it's available at some point though.
Hmm. Part me is happy that the dragon pvp gear is easier to get now,
but I'm still going to be wanting to do Challenge runs.
<3 the Druid armour, but the Mage kinda creeps me out. :|

Does it occur to anyone else that the spiky helm can be used as a weapon it's self? :lol:
You could just take it off and through it at someone.

You know, as I read this I had a thought...

The traditional Chinese funeral colour, associated with death, isn't black, it's white. How amazingly different could a deathly, perhaps corpulent, white DK set be? :)
Someone actually read through my ridiculousness? xD

That's a good point- white could be pulled off well. Honestly, I think it could have looked really good if perhaps the yellow was toned down a little- make it feel a little colder instead of just bright. It already has a cold feel, but the colors are similar to the Paladin set, which makes it look a touch out of place to me. Maybe swapping the yellow/beige out for a light grey?

My only real issue with the death knight set is the helm... those eyes on it are just way spaced out.
My own death knight is gunning for that blue pvp set... so cool!

I still don't get why people always say Hunter gear is "Always Bad"... I haven't disliked a set since Giant Stalker. This set in particular, however, I am in love with. I'd say I love just about all of them except Mage, Monk (not a huge fan of the helm), and Warrior.

I really like the DK, Paladin, and Druid sets. The Hunter and Warlock sets, the ones I'm interested in, are terrible. /sigh

The hunter one....does nothing for me personally. I am not fond of that colour scheme at all.

I love the warlock one, and the DK one really appeals to me for some reason. I think the mage one is neat, and the shaman is pretty cool. The rest are alright.

There are two other recolors, a black and a white.

So, here are my scores (keep in mind that I will judge all sets without helmets, as I never ever wear them and consider most ugly as hell anyway):

DK 8/10
I really like the colour scheme and the armour in general, but I am not so keen on the shoulders or on the leather straps across the chest. LOVE the boots.

Druid 10/10
My favourite of them all, even the hood. Really pretty.

Hunter 8/10
I don't like the hairy chest, and the really silly wolf face on the tummy. I do like the colour scheme, the shoulders are very cool and I think it's great that it looks like something a hunter would have sown out of hunted animal skins. Not so suitable for a BM though, I have to agree.

Mage 2/10
The helmet is so ridiculous that I can't even ignore it in the score. I hate the colour combination; purple, green, blue, white...ORANGE??? Ew. It looks messy and slapped together. Bleargh.

Monk 9/10
At first I was a bit bored, but it's growing on me. I like the warm colours and the wonderful footwear. It looks like a good combination of regal and monk-y.

Paladin 7/10
Quite safe and boring. It's not ugly or anything, but I have liked other sets of theirs much more than this. The wings are an interesting touch, and I really like the boots and especially the belt buckle. The vibrant blue is nice.

Priest 4/10
Simply boring. The colours, the shape, everything about it is totally forgettable.

Rogue 10/10.
Gorgeous, I think everything has hit the nail here. REALLY love the shoulders and the belt in particular.

Shaman on a Troll and maybe an Orc 9/10
on anything else 2/10
I love tribal outfits, but as I don't think they suit anyone but Trolls and Orcs and maybe Tauren on a good day, this set makes me ambivalent. My two main shammies are Trolls, so for me personally it's great, but my Draenei shaman would look terrible in this. One point lost for trousers, I prefer kilts. Also, the shoulders are far too large.

Warlock 10/10
Despite the ridiculously large helmet, it's simply a gorgeous set. The colours, the ripped look, the tattoos...I really love it.

Warrior 5/10.
Dull, but at least the colours are nice. There's nothing offensive or impressive here. It's ok.
