This set also has a shitload of defensive stats. I mean, +91 to defense, +5% to dodge, 6% block, and a mound on +blocked damage? and thats not including talents, trinkets, your other ring, and necklace. no other class can tank like a skilled warrior in this gear ><

Let your DPS have their Ahn'Qiraj sets, so that you can give your tanks and healers have first priority on Tier 3. Believe me, you'll need it.

I LOVE THIS SET. Compared to the other warrior sets. I just feel it looks more towards the warrior and not just a brute force charecter. I feel it looks like a sort of Warrior God kind of set making it even more likeable.

Well personally I think this is the coolest looking warrior set in game,the set bonuses aren't to bad either so it's sad that the set will be removed when WotLK comes out.

I used to dream of getting this set someday along with The Face of Death and The Hungering Cold way back before BC, but unfortunately I was on a WoW break before WotLK came out and I didn't realize that tier 3 would be removed from the game. The new recolored 10-25 man Naxx sets don't look so cool imo, well the dreadnaught sets anyway. I wish blizz would make a Caverns of Time: Naxxramas. >_<

I find it amusing that the warrior t3 is based off of a paladin's gear.

For those that don't know, this IS what Alexandros Mograine's (The Ashbringer) gear looked like. I think I remember someone saying a NPC said something about it being a tribute to him.

As a paladin, I would rather wear this than be a power ranger.

However, with warriors looking for this gear in light of the announcement of transmogrification in Patch 4.3 there is a set that looks just like it.The T7 Warrior gear looks just like it.

This item set I created is a mix of old level 80 boots, belt, PvP shield, heirloom cloak, Soul Blade(requires lvl 85) and T7 warrior set.

According to Blue Posts, and the Wowhead home page, it states that some unobtainable tier sets will come back from ""hiding"", as well as a few new heirlooms with the release of Patch 4.3 via the new revamped Darkmoon Faire. Fingers Crossed that this set is coming back!

In vanilla WoW warriors were not as much destined to be tanks, but itemization did lend itself best to tanking.

The AQ set was the first 'real' plate dps set for both warriors and paladins (who were 'destined' to be healers at the time)

But in ZG times most warriors were indeed tanks, non-tanks had the pre-raid dungeon set and/or regular items from Scholomance/Stratholme for dpssing

There also weren't any alternate versions of sets, there was just the one set, Tier 1 and 2 were obtained by killing bosses (drops), Tier 2.5 (AQ) was obtained from quests which first involved tokens as did the Tier 3 (these sets) sets.

Good news everybody!
Coming soon in Mists of Pandaria via Black Market Auction House. (Judging by the posted SS on mmo-champ).
Along with it the other classes' T3 armor pieces.
Rejoice!
(Btw I really hope they bring back the other cool items from old naxx also)

So with t3 being on the BMAH, something interested was removed from each piece, class restrictions.
Go to town all you plate wearers.

set pieces have just come up on my realm, in total they went for around 250k gold, not including https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23059"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_jewelry_ring_51naxxramas.gif)"">Ring of the Dreadnaught which is yet to show up, however bare in mind that my realm is
1) very quiet at the best of times.
2) there aren't many people who have that kind of money to spend on a set like this when it's easier to farm.

Also, the seller is Malton Droffers, if anyone is interested :p

This set, just like most other plate armour, looks absolutely dire on Pandaren. Doesn't stop rich players dressing their precious Panda in it.

That being said, the full suit is very expensive and you're looking at around 100 - 250k for the full set off the BMAH.

Also it can now be worn by any plate wearer (sacrilege if you ask me, it's a warrior set dammit!)

This set was once obtainable from Naxxramas during Vanilla WoW but then when WoTLK was released, Naxxramas was changed to a level 80 raid and the level 60 version of the set rendered unobtainable, then again shortly after it re-appeared in Naxxramas as a level 80 set Blizzard decided to remove it completely. Luckily for the richest of WoW players it has now made a come back in the Black Market of MoP without a class requirement. The whole set can cost around <b>225k</b> and is sold on the Black Market by the NPC Malton Droffers.

( Btw if I see anyone bidding on this set on the BM on Moonglade... I will eat your face. :P )
