So with BlizzCon just barely over, I figure we're still letting all the new information sink into our collective noodles, and therefore, we're going to discuss a really hard-hitting topic this week: creating the iconic death knight look.
I'm going to come out and say it: I think we've yet to really discover an iconic death knight armor set, certainly nothing like, say paladin Judgement armor or the new paladin PVP armor. On the other hand, I don't think we've had a terrible-looking set of tier armor until the latest tier 12, so that's a good run. But we're still looking for that great set. We didn't get any new information on death knight tier 13 other than one developer claiming it was totally awesome during a Q&A Panel -- but what the hell, let's speculate.
Skulls, spikes, and other cliches that are wow gold(www.bookwowgold.com)still totally badass
With death knight armor taking a long time to show up and being designed and redesigned again, one of the big jokes that's been circulating among death knight bloggers and tweeters is that Blizzard keeps adding more skulls and spikes. I'm sure this is mostly speaking lovingly, but I just want to state the obvious: If it's skulls and spikes, it's probably going to be badass. Don't believe me? Just check out warlock tier 5.
This is what my warlock alt's going to be wearing, and I am feeling no shame over it. The subtle interplay of red and black combines with glowing eyes and, yes, skulls on spikes to give a little edge of gothic terror. This is pretty classic for an evil type class like the warlock or death knight. While a PC warlock or death knight may not be intrinsically evil, the classes themselves deal with dark themes -- not just death but disease, pestilence, and the manipulation and devouring of souls. Things just sort of get dark. And when things get dark, what better decorations are there than skulls and spikes?
So to me, if we get skulls and spikes, there's a pretty good chance it could go iconic. The main question here is pretty simple: Will it be enough on its own? Has warlock tier 5 taken the skulls and spikes crown already? It's a big set of shoes to fill, but if any class can make skulls look good, it's death knights.
