New tier sets missing some details

A number of the new tier/pvp sets seem to be missing a bunch of their 3D elements when comparing basic level to mythic/elite. I have to assume these are unintended as most of the sets seem to be entirely the same models, with the mythic/elite sets just adding some cool lightning effects. The ones I’ve noted are:

Druids - Probably the worst. The non-mythic/non-elite sets are missing their whole 3d chest piece and several of their danglies on their waist. Presumably due to it also only appearing as a tunic rather than a robe. The complete set looks cool, but with those missing parts it looks terrible.

Shaman - The non-mythic/non-elite sets appear to only have a tunic style chest piece. Much like the druids. They do at least look fully 3D, but they expose the extremely flat and undetailed leg and foot armor.

Warrior - This one is strange because it’s actually the mythic/elite sets that lose elements. The rocky neck pieces disappear. It seems absurd for the higher level gear to have less detail.

I’ve had a look at all the classes currently live and I’m pretty sure it’s just these ones. Like I said, given the consistency of the models for most of the classes I have to assume these missing parts are just a bug. I just hope they get fixed before the raid and season start.

I’ll never understand why the warriors gotta wear rocks for armor honestly. Maybe it’s a good thing the gaming tech from Sword Art Online isn’t a thing as if it was and WoW used it I doubt that the warrior tier would be comfortable to wear

The theme for all the sets in this new tier are the elements. The earth is definitely the most defining one, hence the rocks. But there’s also some cool fiery, lightning, windy effects in there too. I love it personally. I think it… rocks!

Probably designed the spell effects of tier sets around this.

On beta, we got the kilt back :ok_hand:t4:, I’m using it currently, Heroic ilvl. I complained aswell but since it’s back it’s perfect!.

Well that’s good news. Gives me hope for the rest of them as well.
