Well, it's Thursday and as promised, Blizzard revealed the female Barbarian in a new set of armor. While it is unknown at this time what type of armor it is, by the coloring it looks like leather armor. Beefier than the female Wizard's outfit, this femme fatale still boasts her womanly prowess. Notice how even though this is probably a lighter armor than the Wizard's, the female Barbarian looks more armored. Keeping in line with the fact that each armor will cater to each character's persona.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Our third (of six) armor preview continues with a behind-the-scenes look at the female barbarian. She stands ready to crush her enemies, see them driven before her, and hear the lamentation of their men. Enjoy! We'll be back next Tuesday with a preview of gear on the female witch doctor.
Wow this looks really awesome. Great work from Blizzard, definitly my favourite so far.
Would love to know if the stuff in her hair is actually part of the armour??
She does seem to have slightly saggy breasts. And the high shoulder pads make the breasts look lower than they actually are. However, it's definitely a much better character model than the earlier one. I like it.
I dislike the fact that some people don't like to see a supposed "Copy Cat" design from other blizzard games... like WoW.
"Shoulder pad too big? Oh thats not realistic." Its fictional to begin with anyways. I would like to see some exotic gears that defines realism and such. I actually love the designs from great epic gears from WoW. Looks awesome. We need more of that but not too much that it is still diablo.
I agree with you, exen. I like the slightly exaggerated armors. I don't think I'd like armors in Diablo being quite as cartoony as the ones in Warcraft, but the similarities we're seeing so far are completely okay.
If they make armors more "realistic" we'd risk having very underwhelming end game characters, and in my opinion, that would be much worse than looking a bit like WoW.
Yeah this version of the female barb is way better than the last one. actually looks more like a female....love the armor :P....im dissapointed though that they havent posted the female witch doctor....its tuesday and nothing is up yet
not only that inmagine a plate mail at end game EPIC bahahah
