Recommended Posts

Blizzard has just released a blog post with a preview of the Class Tier Sets coming in Eternity's End.

Blizzard Logo(Source)

With the start of Shadowlands Season 3, players will have an opportunity to start collecting an all-new 5-piece Class Set, which will confer you wondrous bonuses based on your specialization when you equip two or four pieces of the set.

Obtaining the New Class Sets

Sepulcher of the First Ones

There are several ways to acquire set pieces. The first one is to defeat bosses in the new Sepulcher of the First Ones raid in any difficulty. The following bosses can drop set pieces:

  • Halondrus, the Reclaimer (Legs)
  • Lihuvim, Principal Architect (Hands)
  • Anduin Wrynn (Head)
  • Lords of Dread (Shoulders)
  • Rygelon (Chest)

Note:The Lords of Dread and Rygelon bosses will not be available when Season 3 begins, and will become available the following week with the launch of Mythic difficulty for Sepulcher of the First Ones.

Each boss will drop at least one set token (scaling with raid size). When one of the bosses above drops a set item for you, you will receive it in the form of a token. This token isn’t tradeable until you’ve equipped at least one set piece in the same slot of the same or higher item level as the token you’ve just obtained. Once you have it in your bags, right-click the set token to instantly obtain the equivalent set piece for your class. Below you’ll find the set groupings and Mythic level looks of all Class Sets:

Druid Set: Tapestry of the Fixed Stars

Great Vault

You can also obtain set pieces directly from the Great Vault by completing any eligible activity after Season 3 begins (defeating raid bosses, completing Mythic Keystone Dungeons, or earning Honor in Rated PvP combat). When you open your Great Vault the following week, you’ll have a chance to see a set piece of the appropriate item level for each of your completed activities.


Creation Catalyst

Last but not least, you can use the Creation Catalyst to turn any non-set pieces of the appropriate slot into a new set piece of the same item level. To unlock the Creation Catalyst, you must first complete Chapter 4 of the Eternity’s End Campaign (Forging a New Path). Once available, you can use accumulated Catalyst charges to transform as many items as you want—one item per charge spent. Catalyst charges accumulate slowly at first, and then accelerate in acquisition rate naturally through the course of Season 3. Eventually, you'll be able to transform several items into set pieces, ensuring you can get your set bonuses, and allowing alternate characters to quickly catch up later in the Season.

Items turned into set items through the Catalyst will retain any upgrade paths if available, as well as any randomly rolled gem sockets. For example, if you use a Catalyst charge to transform a chest piece you’ve obtained from a Mythic Keystone Dungeon into a set piece, you will still be able to spend Valor points to upgrade the item level of the resulting set piece. Keep in mind, however, that secondary stats like Versatility or Mastery are defined by the specific set and will change to conform to the set piece’s default.


Set for Success

We hope you’ve enjoyed this look at the new Class Sets coming next week in Season 3, and we’ll see you in the Shadowlands!

Wow, they are extremely bad, all of them. But my favorite is the glowing rogue set, I always wanted to glow in the dark as a rogue. The actual color palette in this expansion is hilarious, not to mention they are totally forgot how to handpaint which was the elemental base of the previous game design.. So shame they are release this low-quality product

I take it you also wanted to stay 10ft in front of a mob crouched in broad daylight and remain unseen, yes?

      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.
