(WoW) A Few Words About...
... paladin armor come 4.3.
Paladin tier 13 armor looks "okay" in my book. The feathers seem a little more druidy to me than angellic (and remind me a lot of the stone pattern of tier 11), the helmet wings are a bit overdone, and it doesn't remind me at all of the Guardian of Ancient Kings model that supposedly inspired it. There's detail there, but none of it really pops visually. I'd also say the heavy use of silver makes it feel a little dull. But for all that, I don't think it's bad. I could wear it with pride on raid nights, but I'm not wow'd by it like I was the mage set. The priest set is striking, too, if a little creepy. The 2-piece shielding effect is neat, but probably trivial. The 4-piece effect is a little baffling to me, as all tanks are getting a raid defense ability (or modification thereof), but if tanks are sporting 4-piece tier 13, their groups have already learned to handle any massive raid damage in the instance.
On the other hand, if this is really the paladin PVP set, I... sort of wish I did arenas and might even go out of my way to buy it with honor points later or something. Asymmetry doesn't always work. In fact, I would say it makes that set look a bit cobbled together... out of pure awesome. The skirt looks plated, the armor looks highly detailed and ornamented... Yeah, I want that look. >.>
