All New Tier 8 Armor Sets Updated

Have you come looking for a peek at the new Ulduar loot? Maybe something in the T8 department perhaps? Well look no further my friends because I’ve got it for you right here. We still don’t have a list (or even a sneak peek) of any of the loot that’s going to come out of ulduar aside from a few weapon models and such but it won’t be very long at all until the data comes pouring in (well once Blizzard populates the PTR with it).

Death Knights look like black blooded nightmares. I love it.

Druids finally have a set of armor that actually looks like a Druid would wear it. About the only set that made this much sense was the Stormrage and Cenarion set back in classic WoW.

Hunters once again look intimidating, and regardless of most folks crying about it, you look like hunters still.

The Mage and Warlock sets seem to fit the kit of their class as well perfectly. Rogues T8 looks a little off at first but the in game animation for it (whips of shadow lashing out at people then clawing back into the armor) really sells the piece.

Priests look like they’re wearing a mix between T6 and T7 with the hood pulled back. Very badass none the less.

For the first time since Blackwing Lair, Blizzard has made a shaman armor set truly look freaking incredible. Bravo. I can say the same as well about the paladin armor. It looks evolved but still tuned to the class itself. I would venture to say that the only paladin armor sets that match this one in impressiveness would be T2 and T6 (minus the crown).

Warriors take the grand prize here. This is the best looking warrior set that’s ever come out hands down.

  1. For the first time ever, all of the tier sets look awesome. I would be happy with every single one of them. Except I would turn off show helm for a paladin, but then again it might just be because they picked to show it off on a bald guy.

  2. Rogue helmet is UGLY

  3. So is your face, but you don’t hear me complaining about it.

  4. Zarachi Dragonblight EU says:

    ugh paladin set looks super gay as usual, but you’re right, maybe without the helm itl be good?

  5. Why is my priest wearing a rogue-type mask over his face? OMG priests gain stealth?!?!

  6. The druid helm is ugly, but the rest of it is cool.

  7. Hunter set is orgasmic. Cant wait to down the new content :]

  8. Paladin is alright, doesn’t fill me with a sense of hope though, just seems like normal armor to me. Not as awe inspiring as T2 was. Doesn’t even seem all that paladiny to me.

    And why the hell is my female paladin going to become a belly dancer in my new teir?

  9. is your laptop fixed yet?

  10. Hey man thanks a bunch for throwing the pics up — had a super hard time finding them tell I found your site, awesome job just 1 thing……Love to see some horde wearing the new gear, but its all good this is much bettter then nothing, thanks again homie!

  11. Burningspear says:

    Weak Shaman T8. They need kilts! Without a kilt the look way to top heavy, especially Darenei. They have Hoffs for christ sake. You need the kilt to even them out! Besides Kits are sexy!

  12. The damn paladin helmet looks like a DUCK SWALLOWING the mans HEAD! Jesus Christ!

    The rest is cool though. But the priest is really dependant on which hairstyle you got.

  13. What is with the t8 warrior we easyily have the worst looking set remindes me of t4 which i hated. anyways paladins have a sweet set finially

  14. The T8 druid is not exactly that one mmo champion shows…. cause for druids also kilt is avable.,,)))

  15. annoyed paladin says:

    pally sets is crap once again!!! Jesus Christ!!!!! make it better blizz u need to give us at least one good looking set because all set from pre bc to now were just crap

  16. Blood Elf Paladin says:

    Pally sets are only crap on Male Humans, they look awesome on a Blood Elf :3

  17. What a Crock says:

    I love how every other post is crying because they are getting stomped by the OP, and paladin’s have nothing other to post than HOW THEIR ARMOR LOOKS. Ret-tarded BS. How arrogant.

  18. Nothing looks awesome on a blood elf. Ever.

  19. Pinkham says:

    Okay, noob question: which of the four color-ways are found where? Is one for 10-man Ulduar, one for 25-man, one for PvP and one for WHAT? And which is which?

  20. only 2 of the 4 are ever used for the most part. they aren’t reusing Tier armor for PVP armor anymore which is good. Mainly they do different color schemes as an art thing to see which one looks best and works best with the given gear, enchants, etc.

    At the end of the day Blizzard still wants to give us a pretty game and wants people to look at their gear and think, “this looks amazing”

  21. holyhealer123 says:

    Ok seriously what was blizz thinking when they came up with the paladin set this by far is the unliest thing i have aver seen in my opinion its even worst looking the T .5 for paladin WTF Blizz seriously…

    DELETE t8 now blizz seriously its soooo ugly i dont even wanna play my pally anymore cause of that set

  22. Actually holyhealer, it’s not nearly as bad as you think. What you’re looking at here is the Paladin Tier 8 on HUMANS. Now, I think you should know as well as the rest of us that humans tend to make all the armor look pretty stupid. Their clunky character models are disproportioned and to be honest, they’re the reason I thought WoW’s graphics were stupid.
    Paladin Tier 8 actually looks really nice on Blood Elves and Draenai, and even not too bad on dwarves. Keep in mind you have the show helmet option.

  23. Well, I feel bad for those human paladins out there.

  24. holyhealer123 says:

    i am a human paladin….. so i have a right to complaine

  25. Thepersonwhohasnonamesayshellotomagicalcowsfromoutofspace says:

    Omg hunter gear looks to stupid on humans… why show it on humans! THEY cant be hunters FFS!… i hope blood elfs look good in it

  26. For me,paladin gear looks really great but not on humans ofc , but just set oprion not to see helm because he looks like pofer ranger…shamans too ,and i can imagine it on draenei and tauren.They should replaced druid head with warlocks,but more normal that that nose.Rogue looks awsome,as mage and warrior,and to priest they should removet that head.

  27. TBH im a Blood Elf Paladin(holy female) i find that the gear is cool but the head looks like ugh something i cant even think of its so ugly lol but thank god we got show helm on the interface :P anyway my pala gonna go pvp healin but still by the time i get to pve healin BLIZZ U BETTER CHANGE THAT HELM ASAP!!!!!!! and btw mages still look sexy sexier then my pala :) (especially) on a undead male :) o well GL with getting the gear guys im out

  28. bawls the cow druid says:

    O.O i see that blizz put some oranges on the druid shoulders well im a cow druid hope it looks cool on me :P love the rest of the gear but why do priests have rogue head lol. all the gear is cool but the heads other then druid,mage,death knight need to be changed badly and for the poor palas lol what can i say other then your heads well look like dicks in that helm .
    cya and remember people its bawls not balls like people in lightbringer EU call me :)

  29. bawls the cow druid says:

    /moo to all my felow cow druids ^^
    /moo (wierd cow language) moo moooo moooooo moo pala mooooooo mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo moo moo
    moo moo=bye bye (druid talk)

  30. JamesDeJames says:

    Neeeed my kilt on my shammy!! cant believe that blizz has made a tier set for shammies without kilt…havent they learned from the tier 4 set? other than that and the super gayish pala set all is great. hate how locks allways get the sweetest sets..Damm
    and stop complainning cause i guess t9 will come soon and i hope for blizz (and for my self ofc) that they will look fuckin awsome. Pallies, im cryin for you all ),:
