Blizzard has posted the final installment of the six gear set previews, concluding with the male [WIKI]Barbarian[/WIKI] looking especially massive and virile.
Here’s the official blurb about this suit, from Diablo’s facebook page.
Here we go, the last gear preview. Today, the male barbarian, thirsting for demon-punching. Next stop, BlizzCon!
Is he not mighty? Marvel at his massive, curving horns. Early fan feedback is positive, and bonus points to Glass for remembering that “animal-themed” Barbarian armor was @Diablo tweeted earlier this year. Enter the Ram?
Note that this is not an [WIKI]Item Set[/WIKI], but a “gear set,” which just means a full outfit of items of equivalent level. This reflects nothing of the magical modifiers on the items; it’s more like these “sets” fall on a line between cloth armor and full plate mail. The ones we’ve been shown this week are in the lower middle of that range; far from the biggest/bestest armor we’ll see in the game.
Bashiok answered a quick question about this one:

Is the Male Barb armor set the same like the set of the female Barb except the helmet ?
No, different sets. [/BLUE]
