It seems that continual progress is being made on our beloved Diablo III. With the vast amounts of items planned for the game, creating all of these has to be a time consuming project. So, any signs of progress is a good sign in my opinion.

Diablo: We just finished the most epic Barb armor the game will offer- and it raised some eyebrows!
It appears that even the Diablo team is impressed by their own work. The most epic armor sounds to be just that, EPIC. I think we can all agree that one of the greatest achievements in Diablo is getting the best of the best gear and we all want our characters to look amazing while wearing them. Here is an example of how armor has progressed so far for the Wizard. What do you think and hope the classes will look like in their highest armor?

I really can't wait to see what the Witch Doctor looks like decked out. Honestly though, all I really care about is the masks that he gets. He can keep the loin cloth as his epic body armor for all I care.

The Witch Doctor should have his own armor slot for loin clothes. They should be a character-specific armor type and come in different colors and scents.
I hope the high tiers of armor in D3 don't have all the flashy lights and effects that WoW armors have. Sure they are cool in WoW, but the world of Diablo is a much different place. I even feel that the fire/ice/lightning effects on items is a little much.
Epic is a word we all should just be wary of these days.
You can say that again, case and point --> "Epic Yarn"
But to be on-topic, I think what blizzard is getting at here, is not the highest upgrade possible, but merely some sort of cosmetic armor, like a reindeer suit or something, because like Siaynoq said, everything is "epic" these days...
why do we have to look a barb thighs? you would think that by his final armor upgrade, he would cover that up.
Well, I personally hope there are both options for the barb, actually. Full cover-everything plate, for the more tanky builds, and the not-all covered armor, for the more berserker style barb who need a bit more freedom... in flashing their thighs...
Like Ophion said, there is no way to gauge how far the development is based off of any information given since they do not work in any sort of linear plan. However, any signs of completion on any level excites me. The fact that the top Barbarian gear has been completed is a positive for me. I only hope we get to see it and the rest of the heroes this next Blizzcon. Last year, the characters page got an updated look and I hope that they do that again. I love seeing how the armor is looking on each class. I also hope they explain more how each different armor looks different depending on what class is wearing it.

It is kind of funny to read that while looking at Barbarian concept art that is at least a few years old.
Maybe it's just me...

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
