Straight from Blizzard themselves, very nice looking T9 previews! For now all we have access too (in other words the only armor that Blizzard has finished 100% of the art for) are the Horde mail and Alliance cloth pieces.
Alliance Mage

Horde Hunter

Alliance Priest

Horde Shaman

Alliance Warlock

ummm, why do they all look the same except different colors. Thats like a dungeon set, not tier gear. Looks cool though…but I hope this is changed.
Ugh. I’m not usually the one that whines but this sucks. No difference but colours. Great.
Thats the whole point, when your gear is crafted by someone, all the cloth etc tends to look the same, its only when its dropping off a dragon/other nasty somewhere its all unique.
I think its awesome that we will have faction/armor type specific gear going into Ice Crown, we are finally reaching grunt status and are worth gearing up for our fractions to bother.
Till now we have always been sort of adventurers, questing to defend our citys while the armys were away fighting in northrend.
