Paladin T13 Predictions-Now with actual T13

[Amirya]

I don't expect to see Shoju post today, because pretty sure I heard a security alert about him.

Something about cannons, grenades, and Blizzard headquarters.

Looking at the T13 models on a Draenei I once again wish Blizz would fix how high the shoulders sit on us, ignoring the almost floating shoulders the set looks good and seems to scale well.
Whats got me worried is this shield http://www.wowheadnews.com/blog=195646/4-3-preliminary-guide-3d-models-items-holiday-changes-and-more#modelviewer:3:103857:14
Its just the same as the FL shield but blue and a tenticle instead of a skull so I am betting its a tank shield.

Oh yeah this floating shoulders irritate me quite a lot.

I gave up last night when I saw the name of the set.

Necrotic Boneplate.

Then I saw the thumbs. My goal now is to get T12 shoulders and at least the look a like helm from Alys, if not a T12 helm. I don't want to look like muscle covered in bone.

I knew when the ptr went up yesterday and they had the models for the priest and hunter sets, I will not be seeing a preview for probably a week now. the set isn't in the game files. I confirmed myself. DK T12 is the placeholder for T13 right now. The art hasn't been released.

couple this with the official boards crawling with people saying things like
Duh, I'm a Death Knight, I should be COVERED in skulls!
Why roll a Dk if you don't want to be covered in skulls!?
SKULLS! MORE SKULLS! I NEED MORE SKULLS!
I want a set to look like arthas. T10 didn't look enough like him.
I hope that its dripping blood from skulls.


ugh. Stupid angsty wannabe goth crap. No clue what makes somethign truly evil and forboding.

That's out T12 set being used as a placeholder.

gotcha, shows how much I pay attention to the game nowadays...

[Shoju]

That is the set I'm actually farming up. Swap your model viewer to a troll, and toss on the scarlet crusade tabard. He then looks like a badass.

[Shoju]

This is what I want to look like, but I am unsure about what my T13 tanking weapon will be. Minor differences that make it look cooler in game.

I have the giant tusks. they are the biggest tusk model available to trolls.
I have the DK only dark (ruddy brown) skin tone that makes me blend in more.

I wish Blood Elves had the same size pecs, and our little lazy shoulder didn't put armor sticking into the front of our chests.

New shield model from the first dungeon (End Time) on the PTR!



Dropped from the first boss, and is a healer thingy

No longer a rumor, has been posted on WoWhead. See the 4.3 thread for discussion on it.

Strangely there's a shield and mace combo that's clearly designed to match the mage tier set. o_O

I thought about it more, and here's my theory.
The "technomage" idea was for the paladin tier at first, then they decided it wasn't paladiny enough actually and reassigned it to the mages. But the matching mace and shield were already done, and they're still there, not making much sense anymore.
