Is there a reason we are unable to combine previous set bonuses from this expansion? For example: combining the 2 Set from Aberrus with the 4 Set from Amirdrassil? I feel like the point of ‘Fated’ seasons is for pleasure and having things over the top, unlike regular seasons.
People shouldn’t brush away S2 bonuses right away in my opinion. With the new talents/light re-work we got, we’re looking at around 80-85% uptime on bestial wrath. What are people at right now? Around 60%ish? That’s a big jump and DPS increase with the build most people are currently switching to in mythic+. Where are the sim gods at to help out the difference between the increased BW time and current tier?
I voted season 2 because it actually improves the playstyle. Season 3 is entirely passive and while season 1 was good I feel it’s not as good a playstyle improvement.
Update:
Season 2 is the clear winner in performance. Picking season 3 tier will handicap BM’s performance next season.
I believe this should read “4 pieces (Beast Mastery) : Barbed Shot damage increased by 5% and Barbed Shot increases damage of your next Kill Command by 20%.”
Which is significantly more fun IMO than buffing cobra shot/multi shot
This actually really sucks for BM. S1 = Single Target buff. S2 = Single Target buff. S3 = Buff to over all kit.
This shouldn’t even be a vote. Every spec and class will vote which ever tier set put them highest on the flavor of the month chart according to warcraft logs. The only exception will be if Max makes a video ranking the best tier sets of DF thus far. Then that list will be the holy grail for players.
Why are you allowing a vote Blizz? Did you learn nothing from the presence of Grim Rail Depot in the mythic plus pool? You can’t ask for the forums for this - most of these people shouldn’t be trusted with a remote.
You’re conflating the tuning increase in damage (and the rework of Call of the Wild) with the Set Bonus. For sheer power, season 2 will be better, more BW uptime.
I remember simming my toon after the start of season 3, i had to have a full S3 4p of 476 to make it worth switching from the S2 4p at 448. with the pet damage scaling to weapon, i gotta think the S2 set is stronger.
Problem is that while you might be able to get 100% or neer 100% uptime for beast wrath with s2 getting an entire extra pet that also helps in AOE situations is just simply better given how much of our damage comes from our pets. Oh and an extra dire beast is also extra haste even if only like 5%
Season 3 is the only bonus we’ve had in a long time, that actually feels like BEAST MASTER, and not just another boring +10% damage passive.
Also, the DPS benefit that each set bonus gave in the past is irrelevant. Obviously season 4 would have to be rebalanced for total damage regardless. Vote for the fun one, and [hopefully] they balance the total damage properly in S4 (hopefully…)
