I'm having serious problems dealing with Metzen's voice.... it's just like... I feel that Imperius has a Van Dyke beard and funny dark glasses behind his helmet.
Herein lies my point: I'm a big Barbarian fan and it'll be the class I spend the most time with in Diablo III. Don't get me wrong, I want him to look like a juggernaut, but some of the shoulderguards on those armours are mental. As long as they have nice stats, I won't mind much though.
I feel you man.
But trust me, items were designed to be seen from an isometric camera, it will look way better ingame.
Just look how cool the barbarian looks with the Archon armor in this little video here:
Some of those armour sets remind me of the armour design of some of the tiered stuff in World of Warcraft. By that I mean way over the top with big shoulderguards etc. What's wrong with minimalistic designs? Anyhow, that's just me.
Making big and stilyzed figures has been one of Blizzard's main art designing cornerstones for the past 10 years or so.
They've done a great job trying to make the characters look as far away possible from the Warcraft universe. If you check the barbarian armor designs from 08, you'll find out that it looks way more WoW than the current ones.
And hey, the Barb is the only class with kind of over the top shoulder/armor parts, the other ones are not all that massive
Here's DH tier 4, Wizard tier 12, Barb Tier 11, Monk tier 14 and WD tier 9!
Which one would you like to see next?
Well thank you very much sir!

I've set up this list of armor sets for the easy browsing of the average Diablo Fan.
