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 warrior tier 13 set, as well as a visual guide to tiers 1 through 12 for Transmogrification purposes.
Warrior ? Colossal Dragonplate
A simple concept ? let?s make a Warrior Tier that looks like Deathwing! Gnarled dragon horn and angular elementium plating with burning fire behind it were the key ingredients.
The shoulder pads and helmets are uniquely modeled for each set, and that gives us great opportunities to create eye-catching silhouettes. In this instance, the sweeping horn shapes ensure a powerfully brutal-looking set for warriors.

So the takeaway here: Is that at some point midway through the tiers, someone else took over the art design for warrior sets and they have a hard-on for WWE Championship belts.

I loved those shoulders. I still have them, too! Venus fly trap warriors in BGs back then were a force to be reckoned with!

Tier 2.5 was the AQ gear if I remember correctly. It was ugly for almost all classes anyway.

Ahem, apparenlty you weren't paying attention tot he dev post a while back. They like the WWF belt, you can show more detail on them if they are bigger! Yes they know players hate them, so they might think about changing them in the future but for now they're giving their designers more scope!

They should utilize that space then. Most of those don't have anything on them worth mentioning or designing.
