How Paladins should look like

That's no Paladin, that's a DEATH KNIGHT in disguise. Note the fact that he's tanking with a two-hander

We use a shield FFS!

I love the tier 2. I think all the other tier sets are meh. But I want t2 to have my babies. And capes look badass in pictures. Not to great in practice btu awesome in still life.

Lightforge - no problem with the overall look, slightly dumb hat.

Lawbringer - love the silver/gold and the feather texture, didn't mind the shoulder things too much. I think they were supposed to suggest angel wings, which is a fine idea.

Judgement - medieval warrior judge. Fantastic.

Redemption - burn in hell, healslave armor. /spit

Righteous - cool grey armor, looks kind of functional. Not very paladin-looking though.

Justicar - excellent overall, dumb hat.

Crystalforge - looks like a superhero outfit, doesn't have the mass I expect of plate. Soft pastel color is weak, too. My least-favorite so far.

Lightbringer - the halo headpiece looks sweet, like the rest of it.

Sadly, I'm in badge/ZA gear at the moment and while I'm happy with my stats I look like a troll death knight. Even the badge pieces aimed at paladins make me look like I burn down orphanages for fun. Damn you, Blizzard!

The image posted by the OP does indeed look stupendous, and I wish there were more pieces like that - plate where ornamentation covers less than half the surface, and where the dominant color is a metallic grey.

All opinions made are of Diocaskas and Diocaska only. ^_^


Dungeon set 1 and 2.
- I personally like these by the helm. On different days I prefer each others colouring over the other. But all in all, I probably prefer Lightforge.

Tier 1.
- I like this set. I'm not a massive fan of the helm, but I guess it goes with the set.

Tier 2.
- You see it everywhere. One of the best images of a paladin. But not my favorate set.

Tier 3.
- lol


Outlands

Dungeon set 3.
- To be honest, this set is quite boring. It seems just too plain. Not a fan of it really.

Tier 4.
- Bar the helm, this tier grew on me. Love the shoulders (always seem to our disginishable feature of sets). Possibly my favorate set.

Tier 5.
- Might be one of a few who actually like this set. It screams Paladin meets Outland. Okay, the colouring would've been nice if it was purple, or even white. But in general, i really like this set.

Tier 6.
-Sex. Its hawt sauce.

I'd like T5 much better if they made it more purple/blue. or even shades of black rather than the pink crap.

They would also need to give boots an actual model like they did with the gloves. and change th helm. To spacey.

It took a little bit, but I am growing to like the look of my T5. (3 of 5 pieces now) I like how t6 looks >.>;; can't wait til the day I might get some.

I am really concerned that they want to reuse the t3 graphics for the new naxx. NO MORE POWER RANGERS OMGWTF PLEASE. 2/6 of our gear sets make us look like power rangers ><

t5 has definitely grown on me, and even t3 a little, but t3 is still total BS. if they give a properly naxx looking set of gear I'll be really happy.

I love t4, and t2. t6 is a bit understated, but the inherent power lying within t6 makes up for that by lending it an aura of end-gameness. Plus, it does not look flashy retarded.

I think the dungeons in WotLK should lend some paladin goodness to our teir sets. I'm looking forward to the graphics.
