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

Blackfang Battleweave

A "bat-themed" armor set for rogues seems like a no-brainer, but we were careful to skirt the more obvious inspirations. World of Warcraft often makes playful references to pop culture, but it’s important -- particularly with player gear -- that what we create has integrity within our universe. Rogues look good in close-fitting masks, collars, and cowls rather than elaborate armored helms. It also helps reinforce the rogue's sneaky silhouette if the shoulder pads have a streamlined shape... even if that shape has sharp, bladed details.

T10 is my personal favorite. This set just looks so... plain.

The armor itself is garbage though... Looks like recycled leather stitched together o.O T12 is pretty sick lookin though.

I think they need to stick with the Hooded helm like in T2 and T5... This T13 is a lot better than T11 and T9(A) though. I found them to be the worst in my opinion.

@Holypride: Really? I think T2 had probably the best models for all of the classes so far (except the warr T13).

damnit blizz, there is no need to add wings to your batman set with the legendaries. more than just rogues use agility and daggers too =/ what if i want wings on my sham's enhance????? or on my hunter????? just gotta have that complete batman set, you !@#$ers. lol. and with mists of panderia, if i remember right from what i saw in blizzcon, monks could use daggers too...what if i want a kung fu panda with wings?????

@Alantaria: @Alantaria You can buy tier 8 In Dalaran for Tokens of the Wayward Vanquisher. Most of the wayward vanquisher items drop in Ulduar.

It makes me sad every time they downgrade gear. T12 (Heroic for sure) was downright sexy. Now this? Ugh.... Good thing Bloodfang isn't hard to get.
