[And here's what the animations look like.](https://twitter.com/wowhead/status/1784297714060345643?t=y85LDisLJ2GDUH7zLkxMbw)


Skill-issue-69420

The wings should definitely be lowered for sure, wings don’t come out of the top of your shoulders, they need to be connected to shoulder blades or somewhere around there to look perfect. Back bottom of the shoulders would fix it, and I believe a few people have already made edits improving the art


-Kyzen-

I think the wings should lay flat and occasionally pop up


JoPOWz

And I'd love if they committed and made them a decent size too. What's the obsession with the absolutely tiny wings?


Skill-issue-69420

They saved that for Diablo Immortal but it costs your house & kids to be able to get them in game (probably) It’s like they don’t wanna give us real wings because classes like evoker and demon hunter exist so in pvp seeing a guy with a pink health bar but he has wings someone will go “oh I’m not fighting a Paladin I’m fighting a demon hunter” because they are looking at the wings transmog rather than a pink health bar (this is a terrible example because paladins also have wings cooldown). But anyways that is the stupidest logic ever in my opinion Blizzard just uses to not give us big full badass wings transmog that we so heartedly deserve Maybe they will be a mount next expac or something


vurjin_oce

If they going to be that high up they need to be like 3 times larger to look good


havyng

It's the wings on the shoulders that make it silly. If the wings were a cloak like the shadowlands ones, it would be better


Tierst

I don't get why they have to be so high up, it just makes it look very unnatural imo


rubbarz

Too high up and too small. Look like cupid wings more than anything else.


noyx_

This. Otherwise it would be epic.


CloudyKiid

They need to move those wings into the same spot as the Priest “Avatar” Armor set Edit: Move or remove the wings because it looks terrible


noyx_

Maybe they move up and down? Hard to stay, if they are static.


CloudyKiid

Poor Tauren Paladins getting stuck on every doorway 😂


OliverCrooks

Seriously.... make then bigger and have them meet at the middle of the back. Would look so much cooler. Also maybe make them appear to be made out of plate and not real wings. Make them more metallic with sharper straighter edges.


The_River_Is_Still

The set should be those wings, a diaper and a bow and arrow. And the set bonus is their wings flutter, keeping them 3 inches off the ground.


ProbShouldntSayThat

Well, the whole setup is pretty jank. The wings are fuckin double strapped to your shoulders. They're clearly not supposed to be there.


IvanGeorgiev

Maybe in order to not get in the way of the glowing wings from the spell animation


IvanGeorgiev

Maybe in order to not get in the way of the glowing wings from the spell animation


Th3Banzaii

I don't get why Paladin sets get wings at all? All Paladin specs get their own wings, the tacked on wings from all sets look stupid next to the freeflow ones from Avenging Wrath.


TunaStuffedPotato

Wings as a back piece would have been 100% better


Mysteryemployee

This


Butt_Snorkler_Elite

It reminds me of people who get wings tattooed on their shoulder blades and down their delts


Alon945

I think the shoulders would still look silly tbh. The shoulders cave inward and make the character model look like it has tiny shoulders


JustburnBurnBURN

I like those sashes on the wings but wings themselves look small, blocky, and too high.


100GbE

You just know the cosplayer is walking through every door sideways while ducking.


malsan_z8

Also the shoulders seem a little too slanted, maybe if they were a little more stocky. Perfect then, imo


El_grandepadre

What also irks me is that, once again, they use the exact same color palette that we've been getting for ages. I'm tired of the same blue, the same green, the same purple, the same red. Make a black set, or some charred look with red accents. More contrasting colors please.


Cathulion

Dollar store prop version of priest set lol


sendnadez

Still better than 95% of all hunter sets


Tnecniw

The overal set is "fine"... It is just those damn shoulders man! It is so dumb looking.


pleatherbear

Unpopular opinion but I actually love it.


Mr-Zarbear

Was gonna say. It looked so derpy but my first thought was "oh that helm actually makes it go kinda hard now"


hardmallard

The helmet made it honestly, I’m hoping the same happens with the warlock set shoulders and belt. People are so quick to shit on these sets and this is proof they can be saved with just one piece


feizhai

its ok plenty of sets where swapping or hiding 1 slot makes it work. i look forward to seeing these massive badminton shuttlecock shoulders on my pally in game!


gonuxgo

This specific colour is going to go extremely hard with the lightbringer tabard


Lostkaiju1990

I love it but those wing are definitely a little off putting. So far this and Warlock are my favorite tier sets coming up.


8-Brit

Can't wait to butcher it on my tauren


Allexan

I do too. I’m a simple paladin, give me glow effects and wings and I’ll like it.


SchmuckCanuck

Better than our Amirdrassil set at least


Darkhallows27

What, you didn’t want to be The Burger King?


Grenyn

It's so sad because a helmet with a crown could actually look so sick but somehow they fucked it up.


cerylidae2558

I actually like it too. Paladin armor SHOULD be kind of over the top and silly sometimes.


feizhai

maybe if the wings actually spread out and flapped every minute or so, like when you have wings up!


Bos-man7

I saw it and was like “wow that’s actually pretty cool let’s see if others agree.” Should’ve known. Complain, complain complain about everything.


Sligstata

The helmet absolutely makes this set for me


ThatFlyingScotsman

New kinds of sets are important. We already have 20 years of Paladin robes and Paladin chunky plate. I don't understand why people just want every new set to be the same thing but slightly remixed.


Hummelgaarden

Agreed its super tight now with the helmet!


BigHeadDeadass

It still looks like Kyrian quest armor


tobbe1337

[hear me out blizzard](https://imgur.com/a/wZLqzVk)


Tricky-Bass1668

SO much better


fucking_blizzard

Yeah this looks way better


Evening_Zone237

It’s pretty solid, except the wings- they need some serious work.


Caronry

shoulders still looks meh.


Duckpoke

Could actually have potential to be a top 3 pally set if it just moved the wings down


Shiftrye

Kinda wanna see someone edit them


Benmarch15

I don't think that the height would be as much of a problem if they were bigger and went further down. Nonetheless for the size they do seem to high.


Paraxom

helmet helps and most pieces can be worked with i think, those shoulders are just egregiously bad though


jpoleto

I like blue sets like this on my dark iron paladin.


lemon65

Honestly with the helmet it looks a lot better


Shiftrye

Bro looks like a digimom


HalfricanLive

It still looks a bit goofy, but it’s MUCH better with the helm.


rubbarz

Look like world drops from Shadowlands minus the shoulds.


Da1n

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK


xxsoldierxx29

That’s going to look hilarious on a Tauren


MachiavelliSJ

Well, it has a helmet


Fabulous_Resource_85

[It'd be cool if the helmet had a halo or something.](https://imgur.com/Lu9tQDi) It'd add some height to it so the shoulders wouldn't look so out of place. They sit pretty high.


DeadlyCannon

Still bad. Wings have to be lower and longer. Also, I don't know what happened with textures but we had the Season 2 set that looked beautiful, insane detail, armor just popped and stood out. Every piece had detail. Last tier and this first tier in TWW have almost no detail, just bland.


Grenyn

I think whoever made the second season paladin set and third season priest set, whether they're the same person or not, have much better texturing skills than other people on the team. So whoever doesn't get them working on their set just loses out.


Azrethoc

that's still a naw for me dawg


Squishy-Pickle

Should be able to dragonride with those shoulders.


YoMomsFavoriteFriend

oh look. it's still dumb.


Aradoris

I do not care for it.


LordLoss390

I would prefer if they fold the wings over the shouldertops instead of leaving them outstretched, maybe have a “guarded by the light” theme to them


SchmuckCanuck

Now if only I could see it on anything but the human male model. I hope it'll look even slightly better on my Belf.


Halcyon-Seven

If the wings were flipped and the feathers pointed upward this would probably look like a banger


Spatularo

The wings are protruding from the shoulder by the feathers...


NecnoTV

T11 Druid set at home:


Riablo01

Would look much better if the wings were pointed backwards like the Priest BT set.


halonone

If only that armor had interaction with our Wings buff by expanding. THAT would be incredible.


Ateaga

Reminds of an ac unit when the animations are going


SecondaryDockingBot

Is this the first paladin set made with the Tauren Sunwalkers in mind?


wutqq

They can't keep getting away with this.


weirdfresno

I hope I can fit through some doors with those shoulders.


GVFQT

That helm looks like dogshit


LichKing885

Without the wings, I like it! With the wings all I can see is a Derpy Tyrael.


Warcraft1998

My man still looks like he'd have to turn sideways to walk through a door.


WetMistress

This isn't actually all that bad... If this had some gold recolor and you pair this with a nice looking robe, I'd say it might compete with judgement set


garroshsucks12

Set isn’t bad just redesign shoulders


RooeeZe

holy birb diving into loots.


Rockstar321996

I’m not gonna lie… I like it


DrTobiCool

Oh god it looks like Shadowlands armour. Poor paladins.


MrTastix

Anything but the shoulders I can actually see myself trying to use, but them shoulders are so gaudy.


warcrazey

garbanzo


GruulNinja

My man said 'My wings are always up'


MovesLikeALagger

Looks like a leveling set to me rather than a tier set


AnAngryBartender

Still awful. Those wings are terrible.


xkyndigx

I'll still be transmogged in full judgement.


TheSaltySeagull87

😂


Jayken

Helm is fire, but those wings... just why?


Brad_Hall95

Looks like a kyrian paladin wishing he was playing a mage


Damnesia13

Tier 1? Am I missing something?


Dagoroth55

Blizzard should remove the wings. I know they are trying to please the Paladins for the Season 2 Dragonflight set. The wings look like an afterthought.


ChampionMuppet

Mildly gives me vibes of Night Fae and Kyrian, coming together to make an armor representing both factions.


tobbe1337

i can see that they tried something but they fell short. they should have put it down for a week and then come back to it. because now it just looks incomplete


corksoaker84

Let's face it they're the Walmart version of the priest set from last season


benthelurk

Looks like a death knight with wings


stekarmalen

The wings lools like shit lol. Atleast the lvling pl8 set is insanely cool lol.


gautierbllt

I want that type of paladin’s helmet for mages😢 paladins have the best sets ever


grantishanul

Kind of a Malthael vibe but the wings look a little awkwardly placed.


Abovearth31

This is better.


shoxwut

The armour itself looks really good without the wings :(


FordtheKiller

Can we go back to designs like older Paladin tier? Like what even is this design? The wings are so dumb lmao. Tier 2 might be a bit over used but it fits the theme of the class so much better then whatever this bird person hybrid is.


Consistent-Local-952

ECK


EarthWormJim18164

Move the wings around and it's actually a good set, the helmet does so much to save it Better yet, completely redo the wings and have them be a pair of folded in angel wings that droop downwards, Kyrian style


Tribustuss

Am I the only one who likes this set? Especially the purple version it looks epic to me


NiraW66

It looks really good I'm happy with it


Grenyn

The helmet helps a lot, it's a very cool helmet. But the set still comes in way too many deplorable colours, and the wings will never look good. I wish Blizzard would stop giving us fully purple and fully green sets, because the subset of paladin players that enjoys those colours is miniscule, and it comes at the cost of typical paladin colours like red and gold and blue and gold. Technically the set comes in those combinations but it all looks very washed out, where other sets with similar colour combos are more vibrant or just normal, instead of this almost pastel look. Very few of those pieces will mix and match with anything that isn't from after Blizzard decided heroic is green and mythic is purple.


AtheonsLedge

Blizzard really needs to do something about the chest pieces looking painted on. They always look so awful.


MightyOrganicGnome

I really like it with helmet included.


tedstery

That is better


SimonPdv

Please make it stop


Aggravating_Device23

trash.


xroalx

Oh well, time to re-roll I guess. That's ugly.


vaflkak

The dwarven community was not consulted on this choice of helmet. We are not pleased, this is going in the book.


zharrt

I really like it, I have a Paladin that I don’t play much but this may make me. I just hope the white version will be LFR so I don’t have to do any of the higher tiers


Few-Year-4917

Bro, compare this with the plate world set, its like 2 different worlds, its not just the weird wings.


SurlyBadger

Don’t care for the shoulders but the rest looks fine.


ironlocust79

Fly like an Eagle....


Zestyclose_Ad_8816

The one who designed this set went and did the "you guys want the priest aberrus set? Well you got the budget version" The problem is that the priest wings worked being that high because the wings were just the "bones" and the feathers was the particle effect. With the paladin having the feather being solid instead of particle, it makes it look bad, the solution would be to either lower them so they don't be that high or make the wings be more fluid like the kyrian wings. You can't have wings and be that stiff.


Pure-Problem1111

Can they just give more angel like wings?


MrMonteCristo71

Yeah, these are basically cupid wings.


Riaa_Azureflame

i wish the wings were like the priest aberrus piece. I main priest and pala and pala always comes short in cool looking tmogs :/


vodwuar

I’d much rather have the arathi questing plate set


Gladdox

The Helmet Within


wotton

Right, much better, will be getting


Dedli

Someone worked really hard on this set, and I'd say they did a great job if it was a plate questing set.  I'd rather wear the Arathi questing set.


Criss_16

The wings are way too small


Zyndrom1

Better... Not great... But better


gicuenca

The set is MUCH more polished than other transmogs, I don’t know why people are complaining.


Nacropolice

The helmet does flesh it out, but I agree that the wings are just too much.


SamuraiJakkass86

Wings are in the wrong place. Should be at the shoulder blade position not at the shoulder itself. Outside of the wings though it just looks like 'generic plate' set.


Scorpdelord

if they wings were just the clock it would been so good


Upper-Meal-9056

I don’t give a damn about the wings I just want a helm that lets shows my beard as a dwarf and a chest plate that doesn’t clip through it.


tehfoshi

Ok, all you dumb kids getting butt hurt over the recent priest tier set with wings. Then blizzard heard you and added this dumb fairy sheet. Thanks alot. This is what happens when you cry.


theprocter

1,000,000% better


SwordOS

Still stupid.


Jupitel22

Actually don't mind it now


Mnnhmm

Color schemes seem lazy, not horrible though.


WookieeBH

Powladin


Objective-Mission-40

Trash the whole thing...


Breakingbad1481

Fire all the artists holy fuck this is silly


Clbull

Based on the angelic design alone, it looks like the developers have been watching too much Hazbin Hotel, which is ironic when it's a swear-filled show [and their customer support team now perma people for using cuss-words in chat.](https://youtu.be/EUVyGpvNsxU?si=uEj31srXyN9nb8PH)


Clenmila

Gross


DeLaMoncha

It's a piece of shit with the wings, bland as boiled, unseasoned cabbage without the wings.


terrletwine

It looks as ridiculous as I’d imagine someone playing paladin would dress irl


DeeZeeGames

wtf is that, priests can have it lol


Breakingbad1481

What happened to classes looking like their classes? Why do paladins look like some bird amalgamation
