4.3 Preview: Rogue Legendary and Priest Tier 13

posted 2011/09/28 at 11:09 AM by Ashelia

preliminary 4.3 PTR guideFangs of the Father

"They wanted to hold me, to keep watch over me – a prisoner in all but name. But I will NOT be held accountable for the sins of my father. My destiny will be my own."- Wrathion, the Black Prince

The Contract

Patch 4.3 will offer the most deadly and experienced rogues the opportunity to finally play a central role in the fate of the world the rogue’s way: by manipulating key events from the shadows. Players will travel across continents to accomplish crucial missions of reconnaissance, burglary, infiltration and, of course, assassination. Those familiar with the events that unfolded in the Badlands since the Cataclysm struck may recall the story of Rheastrasza, the ambitious red dragon who acquired a black dragon egg and magically purified it, cleansing it of the Black Dragonflight’s corruption. While those events may lead to a more hopeful destiny for Azeroth, it will take cleverness, stealth, skill, and the help of a few friends to unravel the web of intrigue that will reveal what became of the egg… and determine the fate of Deathwing himself.

Wetwork

Rogues willing to do whatever is necessary to ignite a brighter future must first delve into the Dragon’s Soul raid dungeon to begin the quest line. Those who prove their prowess within will be set on a collision course with Ravenholdt Manor and the enigmatic Black Prince, Wrathion. This shadowy figure could be the key to victory for the mortal races, but what is his true agenda? Before the truth behind these mysteries are revealed, enterprising assassins will need to fight tense raid battles against Deathwing’s most powerful minions, and embark alone on perilous missions to seal the fate of the Black Dragonflight. The quest culminates in the earth-scorching execution of Deathwing himself and a shocking revelation about the true nature of the mission.

What’s in it for me?

Rogues who succeed will receive a paired set of daggers that will become increasingly lethal as their bearer progresses along the legendary quest. At the height of their strength, they will be imbued with the vile essence of the Old Gods, as well as the maddened fury of the Black Dragonflight -- bestowing great power upon their bearer. These powers include a stacking increase to Agility which builds until dark wings unfurl from the rogue’s back, removing the combo point cost and increasing damage of finishing moves for a short time. In addition, the wings which can be spread on command (with no combat benefit) to slow a rapid descent, allowing the rogue to slowly fall to the ground… or enact a little death from above! When it comes to dealing death, the Fangs of the Father promise legendary killing power to rogues of any specialization.

An incredible adventure and legendary rewards await. The future of all life on Azeroth hangs in the balance. Better get moving.

Vestments of Dying Light

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

Vestments of Dying Light

Priests (and paladins for that matter) are often the most challenging classes to design ‘badass’ armor sets for, in contrast to the death knight and warlock, whose underlying concepts demand the unquestionably cool dark and sinister approach.

In this instance, however, the design asked for a bold, two-tone, ‘Venetian carnival style with creepy, soulless black eyes,’ which gave me a powerful, potentially edgy direction to explore. The set’s ‘Dying Light’ theme was visualized as a spiked, setting sun motif.

hmm ... he does not look any better than Deathwing : D Really Blizz, you call this uncorrupted ? Comment by Neonhyper I like the priest set, which kind of stinks because I'm probably not going to end up wearing it.

I still like Absolution more. <3 Decapitated blind lady head shoulders. Comment by LordBalrog The best of the Tier 13 sets, hands down. Why couldn't the Paladin tier look this good? Comment by Sinespe Priests (and paladins for that matter) are often the most challenging classes to design ‘badass’ armor sets for,After the last 7 tiers of "meh," Blizzard hits this one so far out of the park, it may never land.Comment by TagraNar Yay for the Black Dragonflight redemption questline in Badlands ending with the uncorrupted egg becoming an evil bastard. Yay for the Black Dragonflight being the same generic villains, forever.

Ugh.

Priest T13 looks very nice. Daggers look neat, except the final form with the tentacles. Comment by Telinius Good lord. I might have to just go roll a priest really really fast. That's one of the best looking tier sets I've ever seen, from any class.

But yeah, the proc sounds awesome.Comment by Monday Really, really like the Priest set. Comment by Rankkor

Ah well who cares, I'm bringing Absolution back anyway! Comment by Quilan Daggers look awesome... those tenticles on human female rogue O.O

Priests are also cypermen now. Comment by gps08 I'm pretty stoked with the Legendary quest. Sounds epic, makes me want to do it over and over again. The final dagger looks awesome. After I read the set bonus, I jizzed all over my keyboard. Remind me to bill Blizzard for a new one.
Though, deep inside I was wishing the wings = mount. But meh, can't ask much more than it is.

Priest tier looks amazing as well. Though, I'm not sure which one is better, Priest or Hunter tier. DK tier sounds promising though, let's see how they'll go around it. Comment by LockBlock Wrathion will totally be the new black dragon aspect once we kill Deathwing. Blizzard isnt even trying to hide it, plus its not like there are many other canidates for the position.
