Side-by-Side Comparisons of Tier 2 Remasters and Originals

The buzz surrounding the 20th Anniversary event patch largely revolves around the remastered tier 2 armor sets. Even with Blizzard offering just a glimpse of one set, the community's excitement was palpable—especially with the iconic Judgement Paladin set in the spotlight.

Fortunately, we also have a triple comparison available for those interested.
