Might sound a bit lame, but I love the Death Knight Tier 10 set. It just radiates the raw dark power behind its wielders existence. When you see a death knight in that full set you can just feel the indifference and coldness towards even the most evil and feared minions of the Lich King and death itself. Because there is no joy, no happiness and ultimately - no life. There is just revenge. And its going to be served by the most bad-ass character in the game. Plus the tier set looks awesome! =)

The answer's so obvious - Merciless Gladiator's Vestments of course! (Rogue season 2 set). My fondest memories of The Burning Crusade are of various world pvp encounters wearing my full set.. The weapon's graphics are in my opinion the coolest ever, and the cherry on the top is the helm as it was almost exactly like I imagined the death eater's masks to be when I read the Harry Potter series. Then they released the Halloween flying mounts (the brooms).. Best RP'ing I've ever had =) Fortunately I still have the set in my bank, I should wear it more often..
I'll have to agree with those that voted for the rogue tier 2 set, Bloodfang. Of all the rogue sets it has the best looks to go with the class: dark, sinister, a little Gothic. The graphics on the hood are a small masterpiece (even if they clash a little with long-eared factions).Some of my best memories of Classic are tied to this set. The slow process of collecting the pieces (while amassing insane amounts of negative DKP), the immense honour of receiving the first Bloodfang chestpiece on my server (while listening to 39 people screaming their heads off on TS over our server-first Nefarian kill) ... and, of course, the day they replaced the placeholder items (red Shadowcraft) with the actual set. I will never forget logging on to lots of "Holy ..." outside the IF bank.- May.
Malefic Raiment thoose wings on gnome, just feelling you not a small at all...
Paladin Tier 2 (Judgement Armor) is the obvious choice! So good they used the helmet for the Grand Crusader icon. So jealous when I see those paladin NPCs with the whole set.
First of all thx fot the contest :)My best Tier Set is of course T6 Sets. I personally play priest since Wolk, before that 3 years playing as Paladin :) And the Paladin T6 will probably always stay best Paly Tier set. Same as all others T6 ;)I could discuss about set bonuses of each Tier sets and how they make players "Equal" and "Balanced" and so on...ITS JUST NUMBERS... For me as a player important factors are how much effort you have to put to get the gear, how good its designed (it's looks), its representation of your time spent to get it... I really not happy with current point systems to get set gear...And differences between normal and HC gear sets ONLY COLOR and bigger numbers... Thats why Tier 6 for me symbolizes perfect and best designed Set ever in game. And even now in Cata i still have friends who plays palies and they all try to get that set just to show of :D Thats one more fact that proves Tier 6 is the best raid set ever. P.S i am still missing 3 peaces for priest :)
Although Warriors have always been my favourite class and I really like most of the Warrior tier sets, because they just look so brutal and heroic, I must say that my favourite tier set of all times is the Paladin's Judgement Armor. As to why, it's really difficult to explain, because it's mainly just personal taste. Where most tier sets look brutal or awesome, the Judgement tier set just looks so unworldly. It's as if World of Warcraft was paired with Star Wars or perhaps Assasin's Creed and they had a baby in the form of a tier set.Also for that time, Vanilla, it just has so many details on it. Items then weren't as detailed as they are now, but if you look at the Judgement armor's skin/textures, there are loads of little details and things to notice. From the cross on the chest, the scales on the shoulders (justitia, anyone?), the daggers on the shoulders, the chains on the skirt, etc. There is so much to look at on this armor set.Finally, I like how it's so modest in size. Most tier sets, especially nowadays, are huge. Shoulderpads bigger than your head, a belt which makes you look pregnant, a helm which towers two feet above you, etc. But Judgement armor is sleek and small, while remaining very daunting and heroic-looking.It's just the perfect combination of colours, size and details which makes Judgement Armor the best tier set ever.
My favorit set so far is druid tier 10 i feel like a raven i have wings and i even have a beak and i really like the electric effect on it . I also love the blue color of it since blue is my favorit color. Althought i prefer not wearing the robe since I've aslways thought pants are more fitting for feral. Wish i could have one in real life for halloween ^^ and ofc the stats dont hurt :D
Definitely have to say, The Tier 2 Armor sets were one of the most prized, in my opinion. Being as it required 40 people who could coordinate well back in content, it showed that a majority of people who obtained it could actually PLAY well. The looks were good, except for the Paladin Skirt, and it was a status of prestige. These days, spend enough time and you will eventually get the latest tier without sacrificing much in return.
Hunter T11 on Goblin, they look like Murlocks, i cant stop lough on this. :)
My favorite is the Priest set, Vestments of Prophecy. I joined the game far too late to enjoy the old school tier armor, but something is really striking about the white with red, gold and black highlights. I also love the high collar in the back and the hanging shoulder doodads, and all the geometric shapes all over the whole ensemble.
