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.
Damnit, Scyber! I thought you were going to talk about the band Iron Maiden.
Anyhow, I think it looks good. Wonder if that set is gender specific or if you can put it on the male barb too. It almost looks as if the bracers have claws on them? If you look at the right hand.
The set will definitely not be gender specific or class specific. That is what I love about how they are doing the armor. AS for the claws, I think they look awesome especially since it is just part of the armor. Wielding two axes and punching someone with the claws in close combat. Not that it will actually work this way but I can pretend.
She looks like the kind of woman that if a man had a relationship with her, she would be the man of the relationship and make him wear the little black dress.
Wow nice. I like this one. Looks realistic and really badass. And probly looks even nicer from in-game camera view. I wish we could of seen a helm though, or are those things in her hair armor to protect her head? lol
I actually like this one. The WD looked very plain and blah to me, then again the WD himself is blah to me thus far.
The Wizard one just felt awkward, it didn't feel like it fit the character and the helmet looked downright horrid and didn't even look like it was being worn and was just photoshopped on top.
This however, fits and it looks goods. I hope to see more stuff like this.
it looks great... but the hair and neck are kinda awkward. the hair looks photoshopped onto her head, and her boobs are saggy. I thought this was a young barb, not some grandma.
ok thats enough criticizing... armor looks fantastic
I know alot of people have problem with this armor...BUT on the bright side one thing i really like about it is the fact that the armor ALMOST covers up all the skin...that was one of the things i thought odd about some of the sets of original armor i saw on the male barbarian. Going into battle to fight thousands of ghouls...would only make sense to have your thighs and mid-drift covered...right?
I guess the brown colour comes from the dye, not from any leather clothing. Now if that means she's wearing plate mail like the wizard, then I don't really like it. When I think of plate mail on a melee combat brawler, I think thick plating everywhere. Something like a medieval tank, but without he firepower.
I stand corrected. There was a Twitter response saying tha none of the armors are labeled by a material type. So it can't be "leather" but it does look to be more of a lighter variety.

looks very nice, fitting for a barbarian, still looks somewhat feminine despite the massive armor and shoulder pads

and another thing i like about this is that the shoulder pads are not to high up. looks freaking great.

on a slight note. it doesnt look bad at all.
ummm - ok zhuge
Kick some ass now, ask questions later.
Doesn't look bad, I like the artwork how it's all muted and dark. Not flashy and stuff.
I like it.
Now back to history homework :thumbsup:
