Interesting tidbit regarding T4 sets and offspecs

Post by Jhorar »

There is a tier 4 set for most builds for each class.

The boss drops a "token" for a certain slot for a certain set of classes (it's not really called a "token", but I'm speaking of it mechanically here), which you then turn in for the type of set piece of your choice (ie: for a warrior, the tanking plate or the dps plate, or for a druid you choose between the healing, moonkin, or feral gear).

It was deleted by accident (or so they say) and later put back in another thread or something. At least that is what I read on Thottbot.

I think those sets also have different colors then .. I came across 2 different priest set colors before, this could explain it.
Paladin is man or woman with holy light, liek angel from god paladin hold up holy light so you see in dark and not be scared. You CANT play naughty paladin coz it not fit with paladin holy light ok?

Non-dps classes already had to farm multiple pieces of armor for a single slot in order to accomodate the different roles they (want to) play.

What I'm worried about now though is... what the hell do they think is a good set for DW Shaman in PvE? :|
Their concept for elemental was OK-ish (Naxx class loot) but their mockup for the Gladiator arena sets are dubious at best.
Gimme Warrior quality strength imo!

Sneek, Sneek.... Sneek... My friend you want so much but still you offer so little in return. Donate your body to Blizzard and they might.... just MIGHT make shamans to be of any use at all in TBC!!111

you hybrids are going to need to understand that you're never going to be a warrior and a priest in one. You're gonna be halfassed at doing both. That is the essence of a hybrid.

Problem is that a priest is probably the best hybrid around what with them having good damage if specced for it, access to *good* loot if they do want to do dps and at the same time still being a damn fine healer. Not the best but still completely viable. That don't fly with me really.

To be honest, itemization is the key here, and priests gets the biggest benefit since they use the exact same stats as the main cloth dps classes, thus there's no need for seperate itemization. Only thing holding them back is that they have to collect two sets of gear instead of one. :P

Edit: Synergetic talents goes some ways to remedy that, but nowhere near far enough as it stands now imo.
