Warlock Tier 13 and Visual Retrospective

Adventurers will be tested like never before in 4.3 as they take on Deathwing and his minions, emerging with powerful new treasures. Please enjoy this preview of the warlock tier 13 set, as well as a visual guide to tiers 1 through 12 for Transmogrification purposes.

 

Warlock – Faceless Shroud

A set with the flavor of the Old Gods about it - General Vezax from the Ulduar raid was a reference point. Any warlock tier is a great opportunity to bring a dark and warped aesthetic to player gear and this set was especially ripe for the treatment.

Replacing the caster’s face with writhing tentacles was the ‘hook’ I started the concept with and built out from there. We always try to include numerous points of illumination into a tier set as it helps to tie the various armour pieces together – whether that be glowing gemstones, fiery runes or, as in this case, bulging otherworldly eyes!

Ive always loved the look of tier 6 especially because of the random demon wings effect that the shoulders would do.

I like this teir set, however, the "faceless" effect does not work with the worgen male, as the face is long and the face is sticking out of the shroud, so it looks like tentacles on his chin.

@Backslicer: Actually, you can get the Conqueror's Deathbringer Garb from Ulduar bosses (for both 10 and 25M version). You can only buy 2 tokens (head and chest) from Paldesse, the Cloth Armor Merchant in Dalaran.

To slimy looking, I always like my gear to have that forboding look, like tiers 4 and 7. Not a fishy look.
