They think it’s a paladin set remake bc it shares the same colors as the tier 2 judgement set. The same colors the tier 1 priest set uses. Cuz apparently only paladins are allowed to use those colors.
I legit thought that Blizzard mixed the paladin and priests sets up when making that image. And I’ve asked several people now and all of them feel like all the sets look way too much like they could be plate sets. Like I get plate armor generally looks the best, but I mean please take that to mean more work needs to be done to properly visualize and textualize or a word I’m not using correctly to the sets.
When they make tier sets that are themed to the raid, people whine that they’re not class-aligned enough. When they make tier sets that are purely class-aligned, they whine that they’re re-using design choices.
It’s almost like they’ve used up pretty much all of the basic ways that you can make a class set over the last two decades.
It looks nothing like the judgement set are you high? When they remake a set they try to keep it at least somewhat similar to the original set, just look at all the Tomb sets as they were remakes of old sets. This is completely new for priest.
I see priests crying for a rework every expansion and they get it delivered always (look at 10.1). Meanwhile blizz only looks at pallies once every 5+ years.
If you cant see how close in design these are you’re nuts.
Hooded with glowing eyes.
Tassle hanging off the front from red.
Red gem/design on the corner pauldron.
The belt area, winged on both with cod/tabard length hanging down.
Black trim on the paladin robe matches perfectly with the length of the black on the new 10.1 set.
It’s a replica. If they didn’t blatantly color it the same darn way in the same areas people probably wouldn’t have noticed as much but, they did. This is a stolen paladin tier 2 remake.
If it’s going to stay priest, pull the colors and put them on the new paladin set.
