Druid 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 druid tier 13 set, as well as a visual guide to tiers 1 through 12 for Transmogrification purposes.
 


Deep Earth Vestments

The design called for "phosphorescent mushrooms, reminiscent of Zangarmarsh," so our main concern was avoiding making a helm that looked like a giant toadstool sombrero. We’re always looking to incorporate interesting light sources within a raid set, and bioluminescent vegetable growth certainly provides that. Twisting, organic shapes are often key elements of a druid set, and this tier is no exception, with writhing plant roots providing a frame for the glowing clusters of fungi.

Druid Tiers 1-12

I really like this set .. well.. most of it, just the helm looks .... too much like t9 and we all should agree that was horrible for most classes. Otherwise I like the earthly look to it!

I've always like t2 and 5 =}

the only tier that actually looks like a real druid is the tier 2 Stormrage set to be completely honest everything else looks like they did a half act job on it and yet when you go to a mage warlock or priest its like you look at the gear and people say yea dont mess with them

i love the fungi theme, but i wish that there was more shroom ornamentals in this set. I would be sooo happy to have a mushroom cluster for a shoulder pad....no lie. Like a massive head of an aminati muscaria; all red and beautiful with big white dots.

T11H and T6 both win the transmog contest here. T13 looks nice also. Very proper to the class, you know, that nature stuff and all the crap. ;) grats.

Why give druids !@#$ty looking gear? Yes there in cat or bear most of the time but resto druids are not.. I think they should have gotten the best looking gear out of it all..

Idk what all the whiny babies are complaining about. This looks great. but you should create a 3D model viewer so we can see what the armor looks like on each race

At least Druids have plenty of options for transmogrification. Even if the last 3 tiers look ridiculous.

@Mähdi: Clearly you have not looked at the hunter set yet. Although I agree that this set does not look that great.

Helm could look better, but all in all, I like the lighting effects. Soft blue glows are neat.

Why do druids always get crappy looking T sets? there is like maybe 2-3 ok looking ones other then that rest is all crappy looking..... looking at the history of the sets for different classes Shamen,warrior,lock, and rogue usually get the best looking ones and by best i mean coolest.... give druids a nice one for once plz!!
