Blizzard has been on a spree of
patch 4.3 raid information recently, first showcasing the new
warrior tier 13 Colossal Dragonplate Deathwing-inspired armor as well as the
warlock tier 13 General Vezax/Faceless Ones-inspired set called the Faceless Shroud.
Druids and
shaman also got to see their new gear. Mages are next up for a tier 13 sneak peek as well as a retrospective on the previous tier sets to showcase all the past mage regalia for transmogrification when the patch hits.
This new set,
Timelord Regalia, looks absolutely awesome, with crazy explorer goggles and a nice color scheme. Mage tier sets have always been pretty cool, in my opinion, but this takes the cake. I love the goggles.
Cataclysm armor design has been top-notch throughout, and this final raid's epic sets really bring home the weight of our actions at the end of the expansion.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Look at what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

If I had a gnome mage, would never wear anything else.

i think they're cool--- a better pallet choice and i think it would work-- totally

Tier 2, Tier 7.5, tier 10.264, tier 11.5 all have this one beat.
Now, that being said, if the tier 13.5 has a different/better color scheme, say purples and/or blues, then we might be cooking on this tier's set. Earthy tones (browns, dark reds, tree-bark type colors) just don't really go with mage fashion, imo.

Lol, that is EXACTLY what I thought when I took a good look at it XD.

I only play a gnome mage and this is butt fugly. It's hideous. Thank odin for transmog!
Revanel Sep 15th 2011 9:18PM
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree that this is really ugly. That 'sub-lead' they just got for armor design didn't have anything to do with this, right? I hope not.

13.5 damn well better be TARDIS blue.

I have a gnome mage, and I wont wear it. If they had made the hood
just goggles instead of making you look like you are cosplaying a
turtle or something, then I would probably let the hideous shoulders
slide. I never thought i would find something more horrible than the
t12 chocobo herder armor...

"4-piece bonus: Your teleport, portal, and blink spells have a chance to activate a random time-related effect in addition to their spatial one. These effects occur approximately once per week and generate a high amount of plot."

@Anne Stickney
T13 full set + gnome + Very Manly Staff = Yaay or nay?
Boz Sep 15th 2011 1:13PM
I'll see your "Time Wizards" and raise you a "Time Bandits."
Daedalus Sep 15th 2011 1:15PM
Anyone got any ideas on armor that would make my gnomish warlock look like a Dalek? I'd love to chase mages around BG's yelling "EXTERMINATE!"
Shinae Sep 15th 2011 2:44PM
Anne, do you think this set is a reference to the Bronze Dragonflight?
Zakarii Sep 15th 2011 3:21PM
Wrong!
2 - set: Passive - Turns your hair flame red gives you the ability to wield magic swords.
4 - set: Chance on proc - Summons a raptor army to decimate your foes and annoy your fans.

Did anyone else think of Doctor Who after seeing it's called the Timelord's Regalia? I want a TARDIS mount now
Haraz Sep 15th 2011 12:57PM
It needs a bowtie.
What? Bowties are cool.
Nina Katarina Sep 15th 2011 12:56PM
4 pc bonus - chance to regenerate when you die.
Shinae Sep 15th 2011 12:59PM
Hopefully, we'll see a wand that resembles a sonic screwdriver.
