they aren't an extra drop you mongoloid, tier has always been balanced around the set bonus. Have you ever noticed that 1 piece of tier is usually vastly inferior/wrong stats?

its amazing how forum retards have convinced themselves that tier was better than azerite. Azerite has been an amalgamation of the best tier set bonuses we've been privy too since cata introduced dynamic ones that weren't just "your x does more damage/healing"
They have also been spec unique, too.
do you, for some reason, think that if all classes were given the option of using their best set bonuses in the past 15 years at current gear's level that they wouldn't all just use the one that made them do *gasp* the most damage? It's not rocket science ffs.
there's a how much ever page on "borrowed power" and not one jackass on there is articulate enough to present a convincing argument that tier isn't borrowed power.
The difference is that instead of 15 choices from 3 pieces of gear, you have 0 choices from 4. Dassit. Tier never competed with other tier either, T1>2>3>4>5 and it was linear and boring as bis lists but I guess that people who lack the self control and need to blame blizzard for their shortcomings see that not being able to google the best gear on icyveins or whatever find solace in complaining, or whatever.
BiS lists only existed because loot tables were full of useless gear. That's something that noone sensible wants back
of course mmo-c posters are anything but, oh well
Its funny how people clamor for BiS and very rarely even understand why an item is better than another.
