New skins ?
There should be some factions you can unlock through masteries, they will offer skins. Wouldn’t hold my hopes high for more that 3 skins per armor class, tho.
What? Seriously? That is really lackluster if that is the case…
I expected atleast 5-7 new sets for each armor class :c
No one knows yet. Three skins or seven sets, it’s all speculation. We do know that each Elite spec is getting a weapon skin and an armor skin and that there will be a Mistward armor set (the Revenant armor); beyond that is a vast unknown.
One could hope that if a whole armor set was made to honor the new profession that each other profession would get a set (not locked to the profession, but initially gained by it). We’ll find out.
So far, we know we’re getting
Mistward Armor (6 pieces)
The weapons that match Mistward (16 to 19, depends if we get underwater weapons)
2nd Generation legendaries (16 or more, depends if theres multiple legendaries+water)
3 Revenant Blindfolds
Light, heavy and medium Guild Hall armour (6 pieces each = 18 skins)
Elite Spec weapons (9 weapons)
Elite Spec unique armour pieces (9 armour pieces)
So thus far, that is a minimum of 77 skins we are getting, and theres even more armour sets that have been datamined up floating around the place, but im not including them since we can’t tell if they’re for HoT or a release before then. If the datamined skins are in HoT, then we could see upwards of 120 new skins, as well as anything that hasn’t been revealed or datamined yet.
Skins may be one of the main incentives to repeatedly run dungeons, but just because each dungeon has unique armour and weapon skins doesn’t mean they are, or ever have been, the only way of getting skins.
Therefore I don’t understand why you’d ever assume that no dungeons means no new skins.
(And on a related note we still don’t know what the rumoured challenging group content for HoT is. It might very well be new dungeons.)
“Life’s a journey, not a destination.”
So far, we know we’re getting…
Light, heavy and medium Guild Hall armour (6 pieces each = 18 skins)…
There will also be 2 different sets of Guild Hall weapons, using materials mined in each type of Guild Hall. They were previewed in the big Guild Hall reveal.
Don’t forget the makeshift weapons. They may look plain, but we need more plain weapons that look sharp and brutal. Also all the armors that_shaman has datamined over the last few months that still haven’t been introduced. Ley line armor etc.
