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

Hunter – Wyrmstalker Battlegear

We like to tie a Hunter’s Tier armour in with an appropriate donor creature – it suggests the Hunter has actually hunted for the set! As there’s an awful lot of dragons in this patch, a draconic theme was the way to go. We wanted to reference but not simply reproduce the classic Dragonstalker set. To that end, we limited the use of dragon heads to the helm and chained leathery wings around the shoulders which gives the impression of a skeletal dragon crouching over the Hunter’s upper body.

Notice how they don't include the awesome tier 3 sets from vanilla Naxx because they just remade the set later rofl

Only tiers that get me going anymore are 4 5 and 6. Only original looking ones. All the others just build off the previous set. Personally I loved 5. Who doesn't want random lighting bolts coming of their shoulders?

Tier 3 was/is the best. back in the day before the dark portal opened, you saw a hunter in Cryptstalker, it inspired awe.. I like 7.5.. not enough to crash through naxx over and over to remake it again.

Tier 1, 6 and 13... personally I feel tier 6 is best among the rest considering how original it looks, seriously, active eye balls moving around? picture is one thing but ingame tier 6 looks simply boss.

When I think of Hunters, I think of skins and other objects that have to do with the actual hunt. These tiers aren't doing much for me.

@Luxy: I know right! I always get so excited about new tier sets coming out, hoping they'll redeem the disappointment from the last time... but get disappointed again... Hunters need some cool gear too!

I'm beginning to believe that blizz has taken hunters away from being "hunters" and more of "rangers" now.

Bring back the style for boots in Tiers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8.5. You just can't go wrong with them. Anyone else agree?
