Possible new KOS helm?

[oder]

Heya, just saw this on another thread, and decided to steal it to ours.

 

                 The new expansion promises new class specific armor, and some pics have surfaced. Saw this, and general idea is that this is the SK helm,with shoulders. What do you think, i think it looks rad.

 

[KagekDahung]

Could be, could also be armor of an Inquisitor or a Defiler though.

[HentaiB]

Nope that is the SK stuff.  Matches up with the new SIG pictures close to perfectly.  The inquisitor gets the black pope hat of doom.

I hope it is something that you can just display like /show spaulders /show helm or something like that.  Looks awsome but if has terrible stats I will be heartbroken

It could'nt be defilers.... they can wear plate... which I'm guessing thats what that is.... I believe its the SK armor. It looks sooo awesome! But what will it look like on my Iksar SK? :smileyindifferent:

[joe2sgirl]

Take it back... I don't want it

Your a pally? Why do you care what helms SKs wear?

[Mishrac]

It is cool that they are trying to do something about the diffrent armour, for every class.

But this SK looks like a freak... almost like a [Removed for Content] of a Rodent and a Lizzard with those shoulders.

why dont they just add the feathur of coloring you own armour.

[Kyus]

OMG give that too me now it looks so cool haha..

 

Havent even touched my SK since he got to 60 apart from the odd raid....especially now that KoS has been announced, that will be one good reason to crack him out!

[HentaiB]

Just noticed the dragon head for the pommel knob of the sword.  Im so excited about this expansion.

[Vak Mallek]

Looks sweet!  Hopefully like the other poster said the stats are good.  It'd be a shame to have wicked looking gear suited to SK's only have crappy stats.  :smileysurprised:

[Axxon]

Aaaah....Finally!  I have been ticked off about the lack of racial and/or class-specific armor since launch.  Does anyone know if the new graphics will apply to existing armor, or just the new stuff.  For example, in EQ1, the same Skull-Shaped Barbute looked different depending on what class was wearing it.  Do we know if the new graphics will be applied to all tiers, or just the uber stuff I won't see for 10-15 more levels?

[vwlsskng]

It's about damned time. Now . . . I sincerely hope that only Shadow Knights are entitled to this new, "evil-looking" armour.

[pidden]

Yea i hope its SK only would be nice to finally look evil..

[Dijital]

Its too grey(see pally), black and red and i would be happier and it would suit us better. Ill never be seen wearing that helmet /showhood 4tw.Love the shoulders though.

[Xakkoriz]

I think you should be able to tint armor not dye it completely.... I don't want to see people running around with hot pink armor.... because if they didn't notice... ITS UGLY! lol  Back the armor... I think this armor looks awesome I can't wait to get it with my SK .... Yeah I noticed the pommel of the sword is a dragon head... wonder what the blade looks like :smileyhappy:  ...and as far as the colors that suit an SK... on EQ1 my SKs armor was Black and Purple.... sometimes I dyed it Black and Blue and sometimes i dyed it Black and Red .... those 3 color schemes are the colors that best fit an SK imo.

[Mistmoore-Milaga]

Hmm.  I wonder how that helmet would look on an Iksar.  :/

[Nocifer Deathblade]

THAT is so awesome graphic for armor! That is what I had been wanting for SO long for EQ1 but gave up the hopes for anything related to graphics. EQ1 (I still play cuz of friends there) has same plate mail for everyone that can use it other than color tinting. BORING..  Now, EQ2 is becoming more and more class distinction in appearance. Wicked armor with helm and wicked shield/sword riding on Nightmare will rock.. Look forward to it!

[vwlsskng]

I just hope this new armour isn't merely for looks and looks alone.

[Peace]

Watch this end up being the Guild Level 50, statless, MIT-only parade armor, wearable by all plate tanks :smileytongue:

[Nocifer Deathblade]

Yeah HOPE not same as stupid faction armor or guild armor which are useless and waste of graphic file spaces.. I hope this class-only armor will be quest based. I had great time doing SK darkforged armor during lvl 30 til 35 in CT in EQ1 and it was one of most memorial time I did and I always get a thrill everytime I completed a piece..

 

AQ quest in EQ2 was excellent quest and fun to do. Class-only armor can use that same concept meshed with class-only armor quest in EQ1 and it'll be one of most memorial, fun quest for everyone to try out.. T7 rare-metal armor could *compete* but using standard vanguard so armorer class can still be viable so people can have 2 choices of plate graphic and good for those people who are lazy to do quests.. Do quests to get unique graphic look or just be rich and buy T7 armor and enjoy the boring standard armor but the stats are similar.

[AbstractWond]

It looks a little 'busy'.  Like you could get hurt just putting it on.  :smileyvery-happy:  Not sure I'm feeling the two tone of the bracers vs. the BP either...  But hey, anything that distinguishes the classes, I'm all for.  Digging the helmet for sure.  So are they going for the AQ system for this armor, or will you have to farm raid instances till you get a full set? 

[AbstractWond]

BTW, is it just me, or does the helm look like a cross between Skeletor and Super Shredder?  :smileyvery-happy:

[SheetMonk]

Something about it I'm not really sure about.  It is a step in the right direction, but I was expecting something more like what you have seen in the new avatars.  Just doesn't look all that fearsome.

Freaking badass is how it's going to look :smileywink:

I can't wait

[vwlsskng]

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that there's a full suit if I were you. Have a look at the following bullet point taken directly from the official Kingdom of Sky page:

• Brand new pieces of armor, such as Profession Hats, Helmets and Pauldrons, will make your character look more distinct!

That can be taken a few ways, but from what I gather there will be a head piece and a shoulder piece but nothing else, which would explain why the gauntlets in the picture above do not match whatsoever.

I could be wrong and, frankly, I hope I am.

[gaidji]

If it makes me look different and bad-[Removed for Content], I'll take it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice some stats for the RP of it!

[mAdd0gtheHorrible]

that looks awesome now all the SK's will look the same running around in that UBER armor cant wait.This will fix any questions about what class it is from looks GG

[Meryddian]

Agree w/earlier poster, would love to see this black & red, or perhaps maroon, more 'traditional' SK colors and get away from looking like a big blueberry like every single other plate class out there.... with the current color it's not nearly fearsome enough!!

 

[vwlsskng]

I daresay that it should look similar to the icon that they created for it on these forums, for right now it looks like a cheap mardi gras mask. If I show some [Removed for Content] while wearing it, I know I'll get beads.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I just don't dig it.  I think you can make something dark without being cliched and over the top.  How about a little restraint - something sleek, stylish and sinister.  I don't need a skull mask, horns, bat wings, and the word 'EVIL' tatooed across my forehead.  The poster who described this as a cheap mardi gras mask sums up my impression of the thing.  I'm into something somber, grim, and stoic.  My Shadowknight prefers she not be confused with a member of GWAR.
