    Fire Mage having to actively hurt themselves just to use their key ability is quite stupid. Also the Frost Mage one is definitely recycled from somewhere, and it sucked back then, too.

    Tier sets look as boring as their bonus.

    Destruction Warlock set bonuses are only good for PvE and useless in PvP. Destruction at its current state weaker than Affliction pvp wise. If the current set bonuses go live Destruction Warlock will be dead spec for PvP again. I think Blizzard should either make set bonuses useful in both PvE and PvP or just make them inactive in PvP and avoid losing more players with their flawed designs.

    Destro for the record but Warlock's doing just fine. The Aff bonus is pretty sick.

    Destro is super fine in PvE. Destro’s weakness is in PvP and as I said, these set bonuses are useless in PvP because you almost never use Rain of Fire in arena.

    yeah, the frost mage 2 set is a recycled talent that was never used. Comet storm. 30 second CD. Then the 4 set gives you UP to 10% damage increase for 8 seconds. Talk about a shitty tier set bonus. But then again...it's blizzard so it isn't balanced and just reused failed talents being used as a bad tier set. They never learn. Do they even play this game? Most people don't these days anyway.

    As always Retri palla is GOD tier while Enh sham still dog spirit.

    Stay classy Blizz nice work, put these shamans in shit with their face and then give them 3% chance to evade shit.

    Very glad that they fixed Destro tier sets! Wanted to point out another broken tier set for Holy Paladin. Holy paladins never cast Light of Dawn in arena. So basically, Hpalas screwed in PvP if the tier sets don’t get redesigned.

    I take my words back. It seems like Holy paladins will have to switch to Necrolords, where they will be able to build strong synergy around Light of Dawn.

    Wow, that marksman set bonus is absolute dog shit for single-target. You have destro warlocks over here with disgusting buffs to their damage, and then others where the bonus does literally nothing for some situations.

    Hello again,

    I wanted to hop in again and talk about ret paladin tier set bonuses. I tried it on PTR a few days ago and here what I think. The tier set bonuses are somewhat OK, but the 2-set tier bonus is a bit clunky. It’s completely random, its duration very short, and in order to benefit from it you basically must always have at least 2-3 holy power, which in return may actually lower your throughput rather than buff it.

    I think the 2 set bonus should be reworked. If Blizzard changes it so that the 2 sec seraphim procs after using blade of justice when its cooldown is reset through art of war would fix this issue. This way, ret paladins will be able to gather some holy power and then force seraphim proc through using blade of justice and have enough time to use their big spender in 2 sec seraphim window.
