I was super hyped when I saw how the Netherwind set looked on that dwarf but the outer skirts look ridiculously oversized on the female Blood Elf so I am scared now, lol.
the shoulder effects are not delivering in these pictures. very muted, doesn’t look anything like the original.
hope it’s better in game, but it really feels like they just don’t like detailed particle effects anymore lmao. everything is either 2d or very muted.
Yeah the robes look a little poofy and oversaturated lol def wish we could get back the OG shoulder orbs with the trails. Were way more fun to look at than e.g. Sunfury lol
As someone who wore that clown suit in Vanilla I have no desire for an updated version. I literally put it on for Make Me Laugh during the Trial of Style & have won gold with it. If they wanted to hook us Mages up for a updated Vanilla set it should have been T3 Frostfire Regalia. That set is a beauty.
Edit: Going to make post in General about T3 sets.
I like Tier 2, but it is not my favorite. I think this looks pretty good, but I can tell from feedback that I’m in the minority.
I still think tiers 1, 2, and 3 were some of the most iconic mage sets. T5 was nice too because of the Medivh connection but things really fell off a cliff after that. Aside from the 3 Kirin Tor themed sets in WotLK, WoD, and Legion I wouldn’t be caught dead transmogged in any of them. That’s half a dozen sets out of, how many have we had, 30? And we’re better off than most other classes.
But them revamping the T2 sets for this was a foregone conclusion because there would have been a riot if they skipped over Judgment again, lol.
Honestly the mage tier 2 remake looks amazing, I cant wait. I like how the taller models emphasize the hip wings better than the dwarf model. Looks really cool all around.
