DH S2 Tier Set

This tier set BONUS has got to be the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life across all video games and all time lines and all realities.

Buddy, what is this and who made it, because I’m about to lose it. SCRAP THIS AND MAKE SOMETHING GOOD JFC.

What’s the effect of the tier set? Or are you talking about the transmog? Which is horrible, by the way

My impression of the set is a cross between illidari and the wardens, which is an interesting combo since the two forces were both enemies and counters to each other, but also allies of a sort. I’d like to see more color versions of it.

Edit: they added more colors. Looks good.

assuming he means this:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Blade Dance and Chaos Strike by 1%, stacking up to 10 times. Blade Dance and Chaos Strike have a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!

  • (4) Set Bonus: Winning Streak! persists for 7 seconds after being removed by Blade Dance or Chaos Strike. Entering demon form sacrifices your Winning Streak! to gain 1% critical strike per stack consumed. Lasts 15 seconds.

sounds terrible tbh

So it’s an rng chance of 1-10% damage buff to chaos and blade dance that you want to stack as high as you can before entering meta for a 1-10% crit buff for 15 seconds in exchange for the previous buff?

Sounds a bit tiresome. I’d rather not hinge my meta on a sketchy buff. I’d rather cast it like normal after eye beam meta. Having to hold meta while praying for a high stack is…not something I would enjoy.

Or am I misunderstanding something? And does eye beam meta count and remove/grant the buff? If so, getting to ten stacks sounds impossible unless you really hold back.

Even worse, your damage has a chance to remove your current stack count. So most likely you’ll float around 5-7 stacks if you’re lucky then lose that dmg for a few % crit and it cycles. So probably only like a 2-3% overall dmg increase from both bonuses.

Meanwhile BM hunters are getting probably a 30-40% dps increase from their tier, they can even substitute needed haste because of their 2 set and stack more dmg stats equaling an even bigger increase.

Ah I really hate this game.

Change the 1% crit to haste or mastery and I would be happy with it.

Na, that’s still trash. Even if it was quad stat it would be trash. Also mastery is going bye bye next tier.

Mastery is usseles after changes

Not now that they are removing AMN, mastery will be a horrible secondary stat again. Anyone remember when we use to stack vers because it was our best secondary stat?

Eww… save this for outlaw rogue lol

Chance on getting Meta for 4 seconds on every hit is Awesome honestly. You could spend a full fight in demon form.

Holy hell I thought I misread when I learned how bad it was. This is beyond terrible. This is meme levels of bad.

The vengeance set bonus isn’t so bad; kinda reminds me of that heart ability from BFA. It’s not great but it’s not bad.

The Havoc set is awful. Coupled with the cycle of hatred changes, demonsurge target cap, and removing AMN the spec is DOA. Absolutely absurd changes that in no way improve the class.

I’m convinced you all don’t read, the changes we got are incomplete. Clearly. And yes, the Tier Set sucks.

sounds like anti play…sit around and wait for stacks…ugh…

Every bit of this. You might only get 1% before the 15% or Demon form triggers to remove it. But yeah, since T2 only has a chance to activate winning streak, more often than not you’re not even going to come close to 10% before it gets removed.

IMO it’s easily the worst tier bonus of season 2.

It’s still a bonus so you’re better off wearing it than not, but certainly don’t need to rush to it. Just equipping highest ilvl non set gear would be fine.

EDIT: this is just for the havoc bonus. I actually think the vengeance set bonus is really good IF Luck of the Draw has a decent proc rate. Might only be a good tier set for M+ though and barely proc on single boss encounters.
