Some Info on the Tier 3 Sets

IGN went out and collected a multitude of screenshots focused on these new armor sets. As we know from this morning's New York Times article, the sets will be 9 pieces (all of the usual armor slots as well as one ring). The pictures are somewhat blurry, but the print is legible and the visual concept of the sets are obvious. The armor show seems to follow the recent trend (with Dungeon 2 sets) of more subdued armor coloration (no bright purples here), which I'm perfectly content with. Update: Of course as soon as I posted that, I found some additional information (better organized, if nothing else) here.

Zomg....that rogue set...all those crit bonuses, agility and +%'s add up to at least +16% chance to crit on top of the native chance to crit of a level 60 which is about 10% or so....and that 8/8 set bonus is pretty amazing too.
Now we just gotta wait two years till anybody unlocks the set to see how the work in real games :D
*goes back to drooling*

Transformers! Treadmill to the sky. Fagobots change their kiddy graphics to appeal to those who still are... age 5 mentally.

Would it really kill Blizzard to put "Increases Damage and Healing due to magical affects" on at least ONE priest set? Really?
That way, it would help ALL types of Priests - Healers, Discipline, and Shadow.

I must correct myself.
I never bothered looking at the .5 set because I never bothered gettting the tier 0 set (actually, I did bother getting it, but I had the Dreadmist set!).
Near impossible to get the set of course, but it is out there.

God finally warrior armor that actually looks threatening and ominous.. but boo to the fact its soley for tanks... oh well time to re-spec and re-roll a Dranai, racial heals FTW.

Wow...now I'm actually glad I'm warrior. This armor is insane. Currently I have full wrath with 6k health unbuffed. Imagine the health I'dhave with this piece of godly armor. Not to mention the set looks awsome.Kinda looks like a grunt in Halo. **Shrugs**
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of crap for Priests, we seriously need some kind of damage or survival bonuses. F**K that Healbot set imo
