MMO-Champion Previews Season 7 Arena Sets

The PTR datafiles have once again been mined in order to give us a preview of what the newest Arena season has to offer. MMO-Champion has posted screenshots of the latest armor sets available to the top Arena competitors next season, and I have to say, most of it is pretty good looking. In fact, I have no issues with any of the sets except one. The Shaman set has to be one of the ugliest sets I’ve ever seen. My only hope is that there are some changes coming up for the colors, at the very least.

It could be that I am just overly critical of Blizzard’s decisions that affect my class, but in my opinion every other class has a nice evolution from the Season 5 and 6 sets with decent looking gear that generally fits the overall feel of the class. I can’t say the same about the Shaman set. Blizzard’s design philosophy behind arena gear in Wrath of the Lich has been less flashy gear that has been made by the top crafters that gets better as the seasons progress. While the shaman set certainly didn’t start out pretty, it seems to be getting worse.

Take a look at all of the sets over on MMO-Champion, I’d love to hear if other players (shaman and non-shaman alike) think I’m just being too particular about gear that I probably will never get - especially the helmet and shoulders.
