Elune’s Ire isn’t Pretty
Paladins… welcome to Northrend. /wretch
(No, nothing else today. Eight bars into 75 and we’re done using our eyes for the next 24 hours. The evil, dirty opthamologist gave us the drops yesterday. You know the drops. Yeah, those drops. We got home by using the Force. Everybody on the Beachline, hope your insurance is paid.)

First, and I hope you’ll recover from having glow-in-the-dark eyes soon, BRK
And didn’t the blues post something about not looking like the “Insane Killer Clown Posse” while levelling?.. Guess that doesn’t apply for paladins, lol
…You know, that reminds me of those pictures of killer clowns that just bloody scared you and haunted your nightmares for MONTHS when you were a little kid, makeup and all.
[Facepalm]
Hey I just got my new glasses from being “given the drops” a few weeks ago.
Yeah…things are clearer now but it’s sorta freaking me out.
/scared of clowns
“look mommy! I used your makeup!”
PS, May the force be with you BRK!
isnt that the “Why So Serious” hat?
Looks like someone ate several boxes of leggos™ and fried chicken and had an involuntary personal protein spill onto a pally.
I think the drops might make him look better actually.
uggh
Someone should explain the dangers of using drugs to Blizzard. It almost makes me sick to my stomach. I think they should take the Wilson ball thing from the movie Cast Away and make a helm out of it. “Wiiiilllson”
Or the Panda skin outfit from Tropic Thunder.
It looks like a Killer Klown from Outer Space. Quick, shoot its nose, BRK!
Arg my retina’s are burning, what esle can be said.
@shotgunpete – love the wilson idea.
But, honestly, is Blizz TRYING to drive all of us to AoC et al.? I mean, come on, the gear outa ZA was painful for so many classes. The Chicken Bow is down right insulting. The gun in Wrath that BRK showed yesterday made me go “Huh? It better have a grenade launcher attached.” And now, this. Good lord, man. Just put together a decent looking set.
I know some people were hoping for different designs rather than recolored versions of Tier 0.5/1/2. But at this point, I’d rather just have the recolored versions.
That’s all Pre-Wrath ZA gear, which is admittedly ugly as sin. My own paladin is much better dressed than that.
Isn’t that stuff from ZA?
You know what’s scarier than the drops?
…
…
…the one where they shoot that puff of air into your eye.
No, it’s not that bad in and of itself (other than the jumping in your chair like a cricket part).
But the ANTICIPATION! *dies*
Why so serious?
Admit it, you’d be scared if you saw a Ret paladin bearing down on you looking like that.
That’s also gear from ZA. Shoulders are Sunwell, I think. It actually looks better with the other helm, I think.
Still, better than our current T7 (redone Redemption, ugh).
/shudders
Dear God, that has got to be the most hidious thing I have EVER seen. My first thought was ‘KILL IT, KILL ITTTTT!’
Gee, I was way off thinking, “What kind of exotic pet has BRK tamed there?”
Heh. I got the drops yesterday too.
Let’s be honest the T5 Hunter helm looks like someone skinned a Murloc and slapped it on their head.
The orange octopus from the Gorefiend quest in Shadowmoon Valley is quite ugly.
Our T5 Shoulders sorta suck
Isn’t that all the ZA gear?
Good GOD!
Hasn’t Blizz ever heard of Coulrophobia (fear of clowns)?! They’re gonna make all the little ‘tweens run screaming when they see that.
Wait a second…
GOOD ON YA BLIZZARD!!! BEST ARMOR EVER!
Honestly, I sorta like it. It’s appropriately sickening and dread-inspiring. The purple is a little off. The yellow eyes need a little more orange and should have a rising-flame-smoke-cloud particle sort of effect.
Oh, and thanks to all the commenters here. Reading them made me giggle the most I have all day (and it’s been an interesting day).
Honestly after looking at the 10-man/25-man Naxx and the Savage/Hateful/Deadly Gladiator gears on mmo-champ last night for all the classes, I can’t see why in the name of all that is unholy and awesome would they want to make the gear look so BAD. I think I will reactivate my EvE account so I can get my eye candies and still be able to function in WoW. Then again I can always dress up my BE in her Brewfest gear and go fight low level mobs all day long, she’s cute btw.
That has got to be the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Given a choice between looking at that and having the drops….
That gear is pretty much all from Live. Except the weapon, I can’t tell.
Sorry to always be the grammar/spelling nazi (it’s a dirty job, someone has to do it), but “/wretch” — “deplorably unfortunate or unhappy person” — makes no sense here. I’m pretty sure you meant “/retch” — “to vomit” — instead.
Unless, of course, you think the Paladin is unhappy with his/her/its gear and/or unfortunate to have it…
Last time they tried to give me the drops I told them i had ridden my motorcycle to the appointment…I told them it was a 3 hour ride home…they said well your eyes should be fine by then
That helm is why Blizzard gave people the ability to turn their helm graphics off
There’s a worse test than the puff of air, Pike. The one where the big blue light comes in and lands actually ON your eyeball while it’s numbed, doing a manual glaucoma test. It’s like a small cup that fits around your iris. You don’t really feel it, but just the idea that, while your eye is numb, a funky thing is slurped up against your eyeball is nasty. Glaucoma runs in my family and I always end up with that one.
It’s /retch, not /wretch
Unless you are commiserating with the guy who is wearing the clown suit. (Nuts, someone beat me to it.)
They need to give cats Mangle, as well as Rip, in the expansion!
Start a campaign!!!!
Jaeg and KT
AS for Cats…
We definitely need to see some more kitty love being dished up by Blizz.
I didn’t spend all that time levelling a Ghost Sabre at 60 to abandon her now.
We need more Cat behaviours.
I mean, the stretch-and-yawn are pretty realistic, but what about the chasing-stuff-up-trees ?
Can’t you just see it? Big harry orc hunter standing under a tree going
“here, puss puss..”
That made me think about the poor Orc never gettin any…
And yeah, the pala gear sucks, looks and stats wise… I mean that t4 set bonus is a joke.
i have a question : when will brk tackle the Spirit Beast? couse i really want to see a video with it…….They Look So Freakin Cool!
btw ….. BRK …. get well soon……I know how you feel….it happened to me too
