The fact they missed out on a heavy Nerubian themed Death Knight set is tragic, would have felt very Wrath like in the best way. Instead we’re a broken candelabra
The priest set makes me wish priest had a 4th spec that was a scarlet inquisitor/holy fire dps, just smiting everyone left right and center. We did kind of do the same shite as ret paladins now that the range of the paladin abilities is so absurd, but Paladin sets mostly end up hideous. Just like this last one. PUT WINGS AS BACK PIECE< NOT SHOULDERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
To me the hunter set is fine for any other tier, but it is absolutely criminal in a raid where we are LITERALLY HUNTING BUGS, that the tier set doesn't have Nerubian bits on it. I mean, wtf Blizz?
Hunters have gotten zero attention so far in TWW. Their hero talents are flat and boring, nearly absent of animations or visuals, not sure why anyone would expect different for the tier set.
@@mackenziefa A lot of the tier sets are themed around some of the hero specs, like the warrior one is clearly the mountain thane, and the evoker one is the scalecommander.
@@Rosstafa The small shadow arrow isn't enough to sell the dark ranger theme. Go look at voidweaver for shadow priest, then go back and look at the 'effort' put into dark ranger. Even the sentinel raining lunar effect, which I thought was too druidic/night elf personally, was altered so that it's now just an owl pooping random lunar bolts at people. Voidweaver, fire mage, ect were handled by the art directors/senior staff. Hunters were handled by interns.
Evitel carries this channel, Taliesin really has an uncanny valley between his Streams and RU-vid Channel........He does realize that people see both right? Can't have that fake level of enthusiasm in the videos and just go irate ranting on stream? I used to be a very avid watcher of you guys, but with less Evitel keeping him in check its getting off the rails
The worst part of the Paladin one is that, without the wings, is not that bad, but texture and colors don't seem to match any other plate shoulder in the game, so will be hard to replace It. But doesnt matter because everyone will use the Arathi one anyways.
The wings look too thick I think. I mean they should have given it a look as if it was made out of steel sheet or something. Like a carefully crafted ceremonial armor piece.
That would have been sick for a lot of the classes that didn't have a obvious way of tying the void into their set, like how we got naaru for priests and shadowflame Deathwing for evokers. I think it's a shame we didn't get a sha-corrupted set for monks or some kind of nerubian thing for DKs, there's some more fantastic void flavor in the lore that didn't get utilized. But maybe they're trying not to blow all their void ideas in one swoop. Maybe we'll get more ethereal sets too if this one ends up super popular.
I am with Evitel when it comes to hunter sets, It is the one thing that stops my motivation to play hunter, most sets for them are not elegant dark ranger/elf sets. Please blizzard give us more of those.
I wish they'd make some sleek hunter sets, tbh I hate the clunky boots, belts & shoulders they always come up with. The bows are sometimes good, but then really difficult to find mogs that look good with them. Or if they did a set per spec, MM could go sleek & form fitting, BM can have the bulky animal themed sets, & SV maybe a rogue-esque type.
Because when hearing Hunter I think of elegance, dark rangers … as if Sylvanas is the only Huntress in the entire game. It‘s not like Hunters are supposed to be agile and sneaky to hunt their prey and collect their bones to forge an armor out of it. Rexxar is the real embodiment of a hunter - no need for a set looking like a Barbie doll in some goth dress like a freaking vampire.
I actually rate the Hunter set a lot more than most people seem to. Imagine a guy who lives in a lonely cabin in the wilderness somewhere whose main hobby is hunting megafauna. The set is *exactly* that. I can see why people who want a more elven ranger-y aesthetic aren't super happy though. Also I'm quite sad we didn't get Nelf shamans in DF, cos the new Shaman set would look incredible on them - but doesn't work well with the traditional shaman races particularly well. Edit: Oh they mentioned the Nelf thing in the video! Glad it's not just me.
@@HappyroosterYT Agreed, although I think the Shaman set *could* work very well for Resto shams specifically - on certain races! Just wish there was like a flowing magma version or something for the ele/enh players.
It's a green version of one of the DF season one sets. I literally thought it was a mistake at first, and that they had the DF set as a placeholder and forgot to remove it. It's just crap. I like your idea though. There are better sets for that.
Gotta say that if the Hunter set didn't have the glowy bits, it would look like a leveling or dungeon set.. it's just kind of plain. The Warlock set is pretty great but, I wish there was a non-crop-top chest option. Obviously, this is just me, but I prefer a fully covered torso.
I think the hunter is misrepresented as a class for so many people, we all have different ideas what it means to be a hunter but I think Blizzard has the most different idea of all. For me, being a hunter and a Beastmaster especially is more about being friends to the animals, having them choose me as a companion to fight with is pretty special. I would not then go out and trap them all horribly, or wear their bones across my shoulders and on my head. It gives completely different messages. Why would an animal choose me as a companion, if I go around murdering them all the time? Surely I'm the least likely person to hang around with then. To me there should definitely be an aspect of that friendship represented more. I'm not hunting animals as a class, I'm a hunter of foes, with an animal.
I agree with this so much. There are so many ways a hunter class can be interpreted. It can be your regular Hemet Nesingwary type character that just hunts exotic beasts, skins them and then wears them or it can be an Alleria type archer that doesn't even have to hunt animals and is rather a more military oriented character. And of course the Aragorn type ranger that understands herbs, can track and generally is skilled equally with blade and bow. There's of course survival to represent that, but I don't think we have actually any prominent characters in wow lore like that. I always play MM and without a pet and would really appreciate to see more of those archer/ranger style sets, like the Nighthold set. Most sets are either animal parts or just brown garbage. Some druid sets would work great for a hunter with their more herbal aesthetic.
Maybe you can imagine them as the bones of a beloved deceased pet companion. When you wear their bones you honour their memory and bless your future hunts. Your pets also see this as a sign of the amount of respect you have for your previous animal companions. Hope that perspective helps with the class fantasy.
HUNTER hunts animals. ASSASSIN hunts people. Both need to be effin quiet to hunt their targets. Neither should wear MAIL. Or bones. Or glow effects. The only type of archer that should wear something other than leather/cloth is some army archer that just stands behind your own lines and shoots at enemy lines without having to worry about being seen or heard. mail sets barely even fit a shaman, let alone hunter. This one would certainly fit shaman more than a hunter, outside of that one tiny. supposedly bear, trap on the hip.
I think the issue is that in game hunters are absolutely hunters of animals. As in they kill animals and display them as trophies. Just look at any nessingwary quests. So your interpretation isn't really a thing much in game at all. Even Rexxar, who would never hurt Misha, still hunts other animals as a part of who he is. Beastmaster based on what we have in game is basically "I have animal companions and they love me, but I go kill other animals that aren't part of my crew with those animals that love me". There is no "all animals are my friends" hunter
I actually think WoW would do well with sets that are extravagant in their simplicity. The over the top neon vomit era needs to end. Give me armor that makes me look like a hero of Azeroth, like Kadgar, or Anduin, Bane, Thrall, ect. Either that or the leaders need to dress up in their glowy neon gear to match us in our ridiculousness.
@@LocalBarfly Well, I can see where that seems shaman like cause of ghost wolf. But there is a thing that druids are animals, nature, and life. Shamans instead are the elements, wolf just happens to be in there.
If wow news and new stuff slows at all - would love a retrospective on lots of old sets, or even a video on both your favourite none set transmog pieces ^^
I remember first subscribing shortly after you two created this channel and loved these kinds of videos! Your videos have always been something I have on in the background even when I wasn’t an active player. I’m back in the game now and have loved seeing how your channel and beautiful family has grown! ☺️🙏🏼
Whoever is designing the priest sets for the past like 5 years is the MVP. Non-stop bangers. 2/3 in dragonflight, 2/3 in shadowlands (both cloth sets from Nathria/Sanctum were bangers for priest), Ny'alotha, and now the first set in TWW as well.
Fr, I'm using bits from the shaman set for my Kul'tiran resto shaman. I like it a lot, but I get why non-healers don't like it... still we haven't had a proper water set since TBC.
As a shaman / priest main: Druid has HANDS DOWN, NO CONTEST, the BEST set of all of these. People are out of their MINDS if they dont think that is cool af.
Exactly what I said.... the wolf mask and shoulders, the belt emblem, the claw fist gloves and boots. It screams Shaman set, and would be perfect esp for Enhance shaman. I wish it was the Shaman set instead. Even the colors are better..... it has fire frost and nature color themes. Meanwhile, the shaman set is lame and only water themed with bad color palletes. Plus they only showed kilts for shaman no leg version. How lame, i am disappointed and jelly that druids got a better themed set.
Hunter - ok Paladin - good Death Knight - ugly af Druid - BALLER AFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!! (you're so wrong on this one Tali) Demon Hunter - ugly af Shaman - .........................*sobs in shaman main* Warrior - ............BAHAHAHAHA! Monk - shoulders are nice Rogue - ok Evoker - ah hell yeah! Warlock - ............BAHAHAHAHA! Mage - oooo nice. Priest - ah hell yeah!!! (but with a different helm)
This is nonsense why do warlocks get spectral grabby hand and priests get the naaru crystal wings and paladins get the biggest dumbest most awkward shoulder wings they have ever made
Not gonna lie I love when they pop a demon themed set for warlocks and demon hunters. The shivarra and aranasi sets are just 10/10 for me but the horns for dh should be overtaken by the headpiece especially that some of the horns that dh have would either weirdly clip or just made them look tike a drying rack
Personal Scores: Hunter- 3/10 Death Knight- 5/10 Druid- 6/10 but - 4 for the helmet Demon Hunter- 4/10 Shaman- 5/10 Warrior- 4/10 Monk- 6/10 Rogue- 7/10 (id give it more but the set looks odd on multiple races yet amazing on humans) Evoker - 9.5/10 Warlock- 9/10 Mage- 8/10 Priest 11/10 for the void set 8/10 for the others Feels like they made half an effort for some and a crazy effort for the cloth and evoker sets
You know. The Rogue set on other colors seems to be inspired on other stuff that is almost Ethereal but not quite, the green is crealy from Maldraxxus, the red from Revendreth, the black deom the Obsidian Sanctum. And the more purple one looks slightly Nerubian.
I think the Paladin set would have been fine if one of two things happened... 1) They got rid of the stupid Cherub Wings or 2) They made the wings bigger and they went more backwards like when we use Avenging Wrath, or better yet have them extend out and the active element be light emanating from the wings. Otherwise the rest of the set isn't that bad, its even got that Hooded Helm look that some of the best paladin sets have had (Judgement!!!!). I too believe they wasted the ability to make the tier sets be more "raid themed" than "class themed". They make a bunch of Nerubian weapons but there's not armor to match it? Sometimes I believe it makes more sense for Tier sets to be more raid themed than class themed, while in other raids its okay to go more class over raid. Firelands is a good example of every set being fire based but still having a class connection to them. Vault did that pretty good too with the elemental themes. If raids have a big variation of bosses (aka Amirdrassil/Aberrus) then class theme should represent more than raid theme.
That should be the monk Tier set bonus: if you equip the legs there is a 30% chance that your kicks will fail because of the rings, but they do 40% more damage when they land :P
The demon hunters with the different colored kitty caps is absolutely killing me. Kitty caps are those plastic sheaths that you put over your housecat's toenails so that they don't scratch up your furniture.
omg, THANK YOU! as a DH main I'm sooo tired of more horns on my helms, like wtf!! I do like the wings on the pally set.. or i DID before I saw the priests version which are so much better. I'm jealous :(
Death knight set is made for orcs, no questions there. It looks gladiatorial, it has a symbol on the belt that vaguely resembles the horde symbol, spikes and bones. Especially the red and green variant, it screams ORC to me.
I absolutely love the Paladin set. That said, the Aberrus paladin set is the new GOAT armor set in my opinion :D I will rock the new tier set for sure though!
i still think the lock set looks like a priest set. the eye that looks like nzoth's eye, the veil covering the face, the ceremonial brazier shoulders looking like incense burning. even the shivara hands and the mother sharaz helm, which are obviously inspired by indian religion. totally a war priest
Im 3mins into the video and you mentioned hunters wearing the Sylvanas set from Legion... And thats me, lmao. My hunters wear that set. All of them, lol...
The priest color scheme that Tali didn't like is Scarlet Crusade colors! It's my second-favorite of them after void. I'm re-leveling a priest just for that set.
Funny, i agree about demon hunter set, granted i like the helm. I think a cool idea would bê to have a helm where you chars horns glowed when you euip it with whatever style horns you put in in barber shop.
The only thing about the warlock set is that it gives very clear graceful dancer vibes, from the veil to the crop top to the separate sleeves. Which is very cool, don’t get me wrong! It’s just not warlock to me. It’s too sleek/ elegant.
As a resto sham main, this is exactly what I want. We have those cool water weps from legion but no water animation armor to go with it. Its about time my resto sham can actually have water on my armor.
The worst part of all these sets is that the models are actually fucking badass and are totally lost in the color direction. They all feel so power ranger-y... it feels almost like the old days of Burning Crusade where nothing you ever wore even came close to matching lol.
I kinda resent the fact Tali said we warlocks ALWAYS get a good set. I beg to differ, because I find our sets are always a bit lazy anymore and almost always 1 expansion behind in theme. We rarely get sets in theme with new content anymore, we never got a proper dream set (which could have been themed as nightmare corrupted) and instead kept getting crappy maw looking stuff. This is the first properly wicked set we've had for a few expansions that somewhat represents our class AND current expansion themes. I agree with Evitel that hunters get screwed over every time and hope they finally give them a classy ranger set in the elf expansion to come, because they have it even worse than us for sure.
Videos like this always teach me that art is subjective. Like I LOVE the druid one and dislike the demon hunter but for some reason the demon hunter is above the druid.
Please fire whoever designed that Paladin set, clearly creatively/artistically inept. Looks like a 5 year old drew it. Whoever is designing Priest & Warlock, let them just design all sets from now on, they're putting some passion and effort into their work.
Paladin set would be a win for me if the wings lower down, make them sit around the bottom of where your shoulder blades would be and it would look amazing. Wow for som reason has this obsession with giving people tiny af wins on their shoulders. Like the dragonflight wings we got for purchasing the upgraded edition are like the right size for a murloc and if the idea is blizzard doesn't want characters to have wings why make two entire classes who have for the longest time had major cooldowns that make them sprout wings.
