All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsHunter and priest tier 13 art revealed

In any case, the new tier is here, and it's certainly interesting. Priest tier 13, Dying Light, is loaded with some pretty unusual masks that invoke memories of the creepy-cool tier 6. After looking at it for the last few minutes, I can confirm that I will have terrible nightmares tonight involving that mask. Soulless and terrifying. Which, I guess, means they got the design just right.
Hunters are getting Wyrmstalker, a cool-looking, Frostwyrm-inspired set. Remember that scene in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke crawls into the dead Blue Dragon for warmth? And remember how he stayed in there way too long, until it decayed into naught but bone? And then how he wore the dragon's corpse when he went off to fight Deathwing? Remember that? That's what you get, hunters.
The full preview of hunter and priest tier 13 is available just after the break or over on MMO-Champion.

For more about the bonuses that wearing these sets of gear bring, check out last week's coverage of the tier 13 bonuses.
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! Filed under: News items

Does this mean the female characters have to sport a goatee too?

Anyone else reminded of the whats-his-face-leper-king's mask/outfit in kingdom of heaven?
VioletArrows Sep 27th 2011 8:14PM
@Sarahjane At least the lady tree druids will be right there with you.
Linnia Sep 27th 2011 8:23PM
@Shyster that was exactly my first thought too

It looks fantastic, even on a horrible human male as the model. And that's saying a lot. Sick tier priests, I envy you!

The priest gear looks like the "Hosts" in the X-mas special of Doctor Who, you know, the one with Kylie Minogue.

I have to be honest. The first thing I thought of when I saw the priest tier was the Black Bishop with his barrels of explosives in the catacombs.

IMHOTEP.....IMHOTEP.....IMHOTEP!!

(insert sarcasm here) Yay priests get to be V for Vendetta in a Burger King crown walkin round in a chess piece bishop's robe. Woot -_-

Yo Persephanie dawg, guess you felt the need to 'insert sarcasm' before your obvious use of sarcasm so we could roll our eyes at how you may have thought that was clever while we were already rolling our eyes at how you may have thought you were being clever.

Must...level...priest...

Am I the only one reminded of Shivering Isles Priests of Order robes when I see that priest set?
Vaeku Sep 27th 2011 8:52PM
I thought I had seen something similar to that before!
Very cool priest tier. Hunter tier... I'm mixed. The chest is unusually plain, but I guess that's fine since 95% of the time we'll be wearing a tabard. But I really need to see a side view to make an accurate judgement.

I don't hate the hunter set, which is nice.
But the priest stuff... makes me want to roll up a priest for the first time ever. Niiicceee.
kiernangerald Sep 27th 2011 7:37PM
get it in black and it beats t6?
Bellajtok Sep 27th 2011 7:37PM
This seems less like "revealed" and more like "snuck out from under the veil while no one was looking."
Ad134 Sep 27th 2011 7:37PM
Priests win this tier....
grumblegrumble
