World of Warcraft’s art team usually does a great job, but in The War Within it looks like they’ve really knocked it out of the park. On April 18th, players discovered new armor sets from the alpha for WoW’s next expansion, and the community is more than impressed.
New CRAZY Outdoor Armor Sets & Weapons In 11.0! WoW The War Within | Arathor Sets
“Holy. Fucking. Shit” is what the top comment says on a Reddit post revealing The War Within’s green plate set. This isn’t even tier gear, it’s leveling armor. In my opinion, it looks better than any base armor set we’ve seen in WoW, and even better than most tier sets. It’s expertly sculpted with intricate detail and golden flourishes that really bring a stalwart warrior or paladin to life, and I couldn’t have asked for more.
The green cloth set is equally impressive, with a bewildering amount of detail and trinkets, including a leather book attached to the belt, a tabard with a text on it, and baggy pants. The days of spray-on armor that unnaturally adheres to your character model are long gone. The War Within’s armor sets are the real deal, and I’ve never seen armor like this in an MMO before.
And it doesn’t stop there: WoW players have also posted a few tier sets on Reddit , and the Druid set is absolutely astonishing. In the Reddit post, which was also shared on April 18, the top commenter says: “Why do I feel like I wanted to start playing feral Druid?” I can’t help but agree: Druid has always been one of my favorite classes, but I always felt like the armor sets were better suited for Balance or Resto.
