Updated T14 shadow 4pc

[Zamix]

The T14 4pce bonus increases the duration of VT and SW:P by 3 seconds and now increase dmg done by SW: I by 15%.


Anyone like? Dislike?


Personally I think that they put talents into set bonuses. It *may* defeat the purpose of the new talent system to begin with. The whole point is to make sure no cookie cutter specs are dominant. Keep in mind I don't know if this 4pc is good enough to make SW: I the go to talent right now, but that is besides the point. I feel this may lead down a slippery slope.

Post your thoughts.

It really contradicts the talent philosophy.
One of the more sensible speculations:

I feel like the datamined info is wrong or missing something very key.

Twintop explained the bonus here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post17895558

It's necessary because a 3 sec increase in SW:P duration devalues the talent.

I was just reading that myself,

I posted somewhere else that the 4pc may just show that SW: I is just that much of a lackluster talent choice. Possibly not ever worth taking?

I wondered about this too (leveling my Spriest on live right now as it happens), I remember reading somewhere Insanity was to become baseline & We'd get http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=129197 when we took Solace, but last time I checked, Insanity was still attached to Solace...

Edit: GC confirmed, sort of, why Insanity was added to the Set Bonus:
