in before "diablo 3 is wow" anyway, i think these sets look excellent, the distinction between talent trees is very clear. barbarians get the favored treatment as usual. | ||

Now that I can, I can choose which is the most aesthetically pretty. Witch Doctor/Barbarian. | ||

imo wizards should just have robes, cool looking ones, but just robes - not armor and shoulderpads and shit | ||

Huge shoulders are not cool >_> Other than the shoulder armor I don't mind most of these, some of the barbarian sets are pretty badass. The Wizard sets are perhaps a little to armor-y and not robe-y enough for me but oh well, I'll get used to that. Everything but the shoulders... | ||

The Wizard sets are perhaps a little to armor-y and not robe-y enough for me but oh well, I'll get used to that. Everything but the shoulders... Eh, Warhammer 40K did huge-ass pauldrons waaaaaaaay before WoW and SC2. Plus, I think Warcraft 3 had some rather large pauldrons. Anyways, interesting art direction. I'm not very familiar with D1 and D2 art styles as I only recently began playing them, but I think D3's art direction seems to be acceptable. It's more detailed and less stylistic compared to WoW, and the colors on many of the armor sets look less bright compared to WoW armor. However, D3 probably shares a lot of the artists with WoW and other games, so the similar art styles can be expected as it's kinda hard to create so many armor styles in so many different games. Anyways, I think: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.diablo-3.net/wp-content/gallery/zeug/ruestungssets_barbar_001.jpg) Looks like Sauron. and + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.diablo-3.net/wp-content/gallery/zeug/ruestungssets_barbar_006.jpg) Looks like the Lich King. | ||

I actually think they are a nice step away from WoW armors, not towards them. A lot of them are simple and really scream "barbarian" or "monk." My fav are the blue monk one and the very first barbarian one. | ||

All this armor is just 'super cool' thrown in together, but it makes it an eye sore. Im sure even the artists are unhappy in the end with half the stuff they make. They have a tough job of having to make the new stuff seem cooler than the last cool stuff they made. Stuffs gonna get garish after awhile... | ||

Did someone else get the urge to stand up and yell: "We are, V-R, troopers!" Or "Decepticons, ATTACK!"?  Can't say anything about these now, have to see them in the real D3 engine and environment first. | ||

The WoW comparisons are getting funny. I played both D2 and WoW extensively and thought that a lot of the WoW sets borrowed ideas from D2. D2 items were rediculous looking. Even a "properly" geared cold sorc with quilted armor and so on would still wear a giant blue gothic style plate helmet and really low level red plate gloves. If the item is amazing it won't matter what it looks like. People will recognize it and know you are powerful. That's what items are really for. | ||

lol @ wizard. A bit too androgynous... I guess some people like to play these kinds of characters though. | ||

Very impressive, very sexy. That's just because of the coloring. Once they start adding in blue, green and orange, you'll get the WoW tingle back. | ||

The monk's look good. The thighs, arms and other parts of the body are still mostly covered in cloth with the plates limited to the greaves, chest and only a little on the arms. The 4 non-barbarian classes are more suited to light armor from the way they play and their theme. The monk sets look appropriate. The barbarian sets are awesome. It seems almost all the armor for all 5 classes were designed for barbarians. The witch doctor sets look good, too. And I'm on the "no to big shoulders" club, too. Never liked them in WoW and I don't like them here. | ||

Much better then the monotone WoW armours. I especially like the Witch-doctor sets and ofc the Barbarian! Hopefully the other gear will have the same standard - or better. | ||

But when I look at those 6 Barbarian sets, I'm seeing 2 Deathknights, one Warrior tank, one Samurai, and two Paladins. I'm not seeing any Barbarians. I'm looking for something with more of a Viking feel. | ||

WoW armor sets are all skin tight jumpsuits with a different texture palette thrown in. Hopefully with a lower player count and newer technology volumetric armor is not too much to ask for. | ||

Yes they fit very good to the game , but some diablo fun , whit good editing skills can easy make something like this. Open the Textures.mqp with an MQP extractor, look at the file names; Textures\shoulderPads_wizF_hell_base_05a_tint.tex Textures\shoulderPads_WDM_hell_base_02a_diff.tex etc.. It would seem they left out everything in that file (there is normal, nightmare and hell suffixes), instead of cutting stuff out as they did for the other MQPs (only leaving Act1 stuff in). Now have a look at http://diablo3dev.com/w/Textures And with that it would seem possible to generate the output on the models, so I highly doubt they are fake. EDIT: weapons only have normal versions tho, this makes me think theses textures were left there on purpose. | ||

They are too flashy, with too many ornaments, doodads, too burdensome -and those shoulders, oh, THOSE SHOULDERS! Do you remember the armor sets in Dragon Age Origin? They were simple , functional, but awesome. These are awesome too, but I am afraid they will poke in their own eye, maybe even with the helmet on. I want my hero to look scary, not like a christmas tree. | ||
