Damn, getting a free charge on pillar, in combo with the cdr and damage… Tier is looking spicy.
Boring. If this is the best they can do at any point is just “more obliterate damage” then there needs to be an actual rework from the ground up. There are other abilities than just stupid Obliterate.
Too bad all those value becomes 6% in PvP! 
I mean still extra ERW charge is neat! More Obliterate bonkage!
Sadly someone who doesnt play the game find it boring
What else will blizzard do
Not as good as the current set, imo, but has some potential. Faster recharge on ERW will improve sustained dmg.
Overall, feels like lazy tier design by devs.
What great insight from the harassment troll of the DK forums. Other people see the set for what it is, boring. Obliterate % increase is just flat out boring.
I remember blizz saying they like to keep S1 stuff more simplistic and experiment more as the expac goes on. Still it could be powerful especially as we lose loads of stats after we level.
2-piece damage amp for Obliterate and Frostscythe is boring, however i do like that there at least some synergy between the 2-piece and 4-piece with EPW. More iteration is needed for 2-piece please.
I don’t mind this for a s1 set. Will be sad to see the current set go for deathbringer, but I like how ERW plays in the rotation now and adding a juicy oblit after using it will be a nice bit of on demand burst. Hopefully it’s not Garbo in PvP.
I can see why the DW players are upset. Looks like another season design is not in their favour.
Blizz quoted they are going to purposely make S1 boring again in their blue post. >_<
What is there to experiment with when the spec is the basically the same? And why does it have to be MORE Obliterate damage? They can keep it simplistic and do Frost Strike damage, they can do howling blast damage… oh… right, those abilities damage sucks because Obliterate is still overbearing to the spec.
I have no idea what blizzard will do with future tier sets. Midnight is months away and there is more balancing to do. In the meantime it’s an ERW and obliterate set. Cope.
Cope about what? Everyone is saying its boring, and it is.
This means another season of 2H frost domination if the set buffs Oblit and Frostscythe.
Right? lol. See the same comments at the start of every expansion. The sets are intentionally boring and not a huge focus due to all the class changes that come with the new xpac. As expansions build so does tier sets complexity.
My prediction for the next tier set:
2-Piece: Your Obliterates increase your next Frost Strike damage by 20%
4-Piece: Your Frost Strikes increase your next Obliterate damage by 20%
What changes? More “changes” came in at 11.2 than in a completely new expansion and those “changes” in 11.2 werent anything to say the spec was largely changed.
Ill tell you the real reason why its boring. Because Blizzard is rushing yet another expansion out. Thats it.
You are annoyed about it being obliterate. Yes it’s boring. At the end of the day most tier set bonuses equate to +% damage without much difference to gameplay current season included. Maybe they’ll add a RP spending bonus in S2.
Because thats all that you guys want it to be focused on. Its annoying and its boring. Obliterate obliterate obliterate… its dumb design. But thats all that big old dumb 2h is good at so thats all you want right?
Honey. There’s more specs than FDK, they cant give FDK a crazy tier set then just give all the specs getting their complete overhauls simple % buffs. There’s always a lot of content to take in at the start of an xpac and lets face it a lot of the more complex tier sets tend to favor certain talent builds. At the start when there has been a lot of talent changes across all specs you don’t want tier set bonuses stomping on talent build exploration.
I understand why you would jump to the conclusion of them being simple due to them rushing. They said at the start these next 2 are coming out faster so they admitted to rushing. But there’s obvious reason why you would make tier sets at the start of xpac more simple.
