The funniest part I find about that is that I think they were trying to do the whole “Tier sets matching the raid and less tier sets to make”
And it’s exactly the same thing they are doing in BFA. I am not saying the BFA sets are ugly (uldir are tho) like the AQ ones but you can tell that they were trying to be more lazy with AQ, turned out no one liked it and now they are trying again years later lul.
Nightslayer is easily one of the better-looking sets, in my opinion. I think Lawbringer is the worst-looking tier 1. All the tier 2 sets look at least decent. Several tier 3 sets don’t look “bad” per se, but they look like something that belongs in a science fiction setting rather than WoW. Paladin might look worst there, again, but it has competition.
Probably Priest T1.
Unpopular opinion: I actually really like a lot of the AQ sets, especially Pally/Shaman. Not really a fan of of the cloth 2.5 tho.
To me the Paladin and Warrior 2.5 sets weren’t ugly, they were just weird looking and didn’t really fit what the rest of the game had been.
Agreed.
Agreed
Ayup
Bit of a mixed bag.
Agreed
Mixed bag again.
Pretty much.
Tier 1, Actually decent, just depends on the class.
Tier 2 , 100% agree freaking awesome!
Tier 2.5, agreed it was odd for sure.
Tier 3, it’s ok, some of the sets were sick others were meh…
Tier 4, Hunter tier 4 was drab as hell… Other class sets were sick tho.
Tier 5, I like to just call this… Crystals, many many crystals; lots of crystals.
Tier 6, best set since T2, a true master work. Best set since Vanilla for sure.
Sunwell loot, never really called it T6, more or less it finished T6 and had some odd duck extras, still good looking. =)
IMO the helm looks cool on gnomes but then again all helms after tier 1 make gnomes look like walking head haha
Very much this.
Also the paladin Lightforged set; that red and yellow monstrosity with the pillow for a helm. Awful.
You don’t like the Cylon Football helmet lol?!
As a Tauren I alternated between hiding helm and showing it. Could never decide if it was goofy or cool.
That reply was specifically about the Paladin sets, but I agree with what you put overall.
Paladin tier 3 looks like a robocop cosplay
Thanks for ruining that for me… lol
Anyone who thinks Warlock T3 is ugly, i just want you to picture Ozzy Osbourne in it. That my good sir, is check mate.
To be honest, I have a feeling the Dev team just ran out of time to make the AQ sets look nicer. There is no way the artists who worked on Tier 1, 2, 3 sets, spent the same amount of time on the AQ sets as they did on the other tier sets.
I vote the wailing caverns set.
Robotech… This is exactly what came to mind when we first saw it.
i always liked the blue hunter pvp set. i called it the Roman Frog. but everyone at least back then said it was aweful looking
Twill.
Easy to get but horrible looking and even worst in a raid setting
Paladin sets other than judgement where horrible, especially tier 5
Imo nightslayers was the best looking set in all of classic and the worst looking has to be either druid tier 1 and paladin tier 1 they are neck and neck for the ugly trophy
