Tier Sets Returning in Patch 9.2

Recommended Posts

46665-tier-sets-wont-be-returning-in-wow

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that Tier sets will be returning in Patch 9.2!

In Preach's interview, Ion said "Tier sets will be returning in our next adventure", which likely refers to Patch 9.2. Blizzard removed Class / Tier sets in Battle for Azeroth when they said they want to focus on providing players with raid-themed armor instead of class armor. As a result, 12 class sets have been reduced to just 4 sets based on your armor type.

Tier Sets are a hot topic in the community and Blizzard confirmed in the past they wouldn't be coming at Shadowlands launch or in Chains of Domination. Finally, we learned that they will be back in 9.2!

Now if they could also bring back Tree of Life as a shapeshift with an updated model, that would be great.

Tree of life is in the game. Not with an updated model, but it is in the game dude...

I'm well aware of that. I meant as an actual shapeshift, like it was until Wrath of the Lich King, not a cooldown. And no, just the Treant cosmetic form doesn't count.

When I switched to retail from a WotLK private server I was also a bit bummed that tree of life is no longer a shapeshift form. Then I thought, it's actually nice that druids get a spec where they can look at their actual character model. And now with the cosmetics, people have a choice. Both as resto and balance.

That's why Glyph of the Stars exist. Blizzard could've just done the same thing for Restoration and kept the Tree of Life shapeshift, simple as that.

Ah then I misread your comment. I thought you meant the treant one which druids has as a shapeshift form already, not the big tree but the smol one.

they never said 9.1 exactly, but i remember very clearly, how they confirmed, that after the release of shadowlands, where there won't be any sets, they will add them in the upcoming patch. I don't know for sure if it was "the" or "a" upcoming patch, but the wording implicated strongly that we can expect them in 9.1 and it hyped me up very much. Now that they are not even saying 9.2 clearly, i expect "upcoming adventure" means next expansion...

"Tier sets will be returning in our next adventure" 

Well that might mean "next expansion" since we are on the shadowlands adventure right now, at least its not SOON™

Highly unlikely.  That's stating that any PvPer that earns their gear in PvP only are not welcome into doing Raiding or Mythic+ and are forced to equip start out leveling greens when doing PvE content.  If you are referring to a Benthic style type of bonuses that can be used in Nazjatar or EP type of gear we may see something like that or similar to that stature in 9.1

This, they just said upcoming adventure, could be 9.2, 9.3 if there is one, or more likely, 10.x

And it is utmost nonsensical particularly because i can provide them more than 50 specbound instead of classbound per patch on my own, they could pay the respect that gear is owed and release 100 pieces per patch minimum, covenant theme makes sense but not having it class or specbound is disrespectful towards prop artists who are more than willing to get them done as long as they get to be available to players.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
