As scheduled, Blizzard has released the a new armor set. This time it is the female Wizard featured in a red plate mail armor. It is interesting to see how something as "heavy" as plate mail we be worn by someone of a lighter feel. Keep in mind that every class will be able to wear every type of armor. While still keeping the plate mail, they have also incorporated the robes of the wizard keeping its unique look to the class.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Our armor preview continues today with a behind-the-scenes look at the female wizard sporting a red plate mail set. And keep in mind if you don't happen to like that shade of red, it can drop in any number of colors, or be customized to your liking through the dye system. Thursday we'll be previewing a set worn by the female barbarian, so check back.
UPDATE:
A bit more info, this particular plate mail is the armor we will be finding near the end of normal.

other then that I really do like it. It just looks like she ready to go out to a big freaking battle.
The thing on her right shoulder could be for holding her globe thing. That just occurred to me. Of course, it probably wouldn't actually function like that in-game. Just as guess.
Edit~
Oh, wait, she has them on both arms. I'd guess they're just for deflecting blows, then.
I wouldnt mind maybe a armor set thats unique or like the diablo 2 set items where it makes the wizard have the armor set of lets say a full out barbarian. haha
just a wizard in freaking armor. but you cant move at all. hahahaha.
In Diablo 1 at later stages (i think plate mail) you held your helmet in your hands in town and wore it in the dungeons. Would be awesome to have the same thing happen in Diablo III.
Not because I don't like the armor, just because I think it would be more entertaining that way.

you're welcome :sorcerer:
I think that's the reason, remember that all items are designed to be seen from the isometric perspective.
As it should be
Yea I liked how that looked in D1. It would be cool if they did that in D3 just had the helm on the side. Could be an option
Also:
I like this set. I love the way that in Diablo, sets doesn't have to be "über-fancy" just to be cool. This is very basic, but yet nice looking. Wizard is currently in my plans for first character and this did not disappoint me :).
I can't stand blurry...
