Patch 4.3 PTR: Season 11 PVP sets might blow your mind

Comparisons between tier 13 and Season 11 armor will almost certainly be a hot debate this patch. I'm not entirely sure which side I fall on. As a paladin, this Season 11 armor will be driving me toward PVP, but our resident warrior extraordinaire isn't so hot on the Cataclysmic Glad outfit for warriors. Different people have different opinions -- who knew?
Our thanks go out to Leviathon over at Scrolls of Lore for the images.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into 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!

Holy geebus, look at that paladin set

The paladin set is really in a class above the rest.
At first I thought I was looking at something from another game.

Pallys are getting the design LOVE this time around aren't they? That is a gorgeous set!
I like that they are playing with asymmetry on some of these.
Alas, I see that horns are only theme for hunters I guess. Minus the helm, I may actually be proud to wear that set though. :)

To be honest, its kind of sad. The paladin set is in a whole new level of design for wow, it doesn't even look like wow as someone said.
It just makes other gear look bland :p

That's gonna be the set I mog first, I think.
Maybe I'll even shout FOR THE EMPEROR as I pull.

that tier is just insanely beautiful. The level of detail is mind blowing. Is this Blizzard further testing new graphics? First the new Tyrande and now this, it makes me thing we might get a giant graphics overhaul soon to make this game look ten times as gorgeous. The colors in all tiers look kinda weird though, maybe it's because of the datamining?
Anyway, the Paladin tier is just amazing. The whole dragon-theme makes it so perfect, it's like the supreme Dragonslayer. I want to level a pally now D:
Oh, and as a mage, I approve ours :D

@ Shinae:
"The paladin set is really in a class above the rest.

At least you thought that until you saw the size of that human model's hands.
Seriously, the better the rest of the game looks, the more I wish that there was a "hide hands" option in the UI.

I really hate the Paladin PvE T13 set (mainly because of the shoulders and helm), I love with insane passion this Paladin PvP T11 set.

OK . . . I guess I need to pvp from now on. This is the most beautiful set in the game by a wide margin. AMAZING

Paladin and Rogue both got extra attention.
Warrior set is decent.
The other sets are just plain bad.

I agree...
We get some generic "White knight in shining armor" set for our raiding gear, while the PvPers get a completely uber set of armor. And look at that motif! Heaven and Hell upon it, a single Horn and broken Halo, an angelic visage adorned with bat wings! So freaking unfair... I really hate PvP, I really hate our Tier armor, but god I am loving this set...

It's so gorgeous! So incredibly awesome. There's so much detail to it. I too can't believe that could even exist in WoW. All the other armor sets look fairly cool by themselves, but they are so utterly plain in comparison.

Remind anybody of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood?

PALADIN SET, Y U NO FOR DEATH KNIGHTS?
Alternatively,
BLIZZARD ART TEAM, Y U NO MAKE ALL ARMOR LOOK THIS COOL?

That Paladin armor may be the best armor I have ever seen in wow.
Kunikenwad! Sep 28th 2011 4:45PM
As a shaman it pains me to say this ... but Paladins win this tier. By the balls of Odin, that armor looks great.
Aftermathmatical Sep 28th 2011 4:55PM
Yeah seriously, that is badass. It's almost sad as it blows all the other pvp sets out of the water (except for possibly rogue, thats pretty badass too). This makes me want to level a pally just for that lol.
subtotal Sep 29th 2011 1:58AM
Agreed, this just about makes up for blizzards fail on the latest Pally Tier set.
All I can say is thank god for transmog, I hate pvp but I want to get my hands on this!
Sorcha Sep 28th 2011 4:42PM
Paladins win this round...
