Dungeon set items? Whats the point?

Gameplay Dungeons, Raids and Scenarios

At first it was pretty sweet to see set items drop in dungeons as you level your toons… but then you soon realize there is no point to them even dropping because the odds of getting a second set item are slim and none.

If you happen to get that second item, it’s normally when you’re maxed level or or you have raid items that are far superior.

The only sets that ever get any use are end game raid sets obviously.

So why have these dungeon ones in with a stupid low drop rate? What % of these sets have ever been fully used for the levels they were made for?

Just bad design.

I didn’t play BfA and SL is just a let down for me so maybe you changed it in them.

I remember in legion I believe I got two set items for two different sets and never saw the other items to the sets.

Not to mention, I’m not sure how many people want to run a dungeon 10-20 times to get the set. Things get old and boring.

Before you say I’m wrong, please thing about how many sets you’ve ever had and used; other than the end game raid sets.

There are people who don’t raid. The dungeon sets are possibly the best gear they will see in that expansion. I agree that after the expansion is no longer current you’re not going to get enough of those pieces to get any set bonuses as you’re leveling through old content.

Lol. There are people who will spend years trying to get particular transmog appearances. 10-20 runs is nothing, I’ve put more effort than that into getting one particular bow just for transmog.

Anyway, even if nobody wanted them it wouldn’t be worth Blizzards time to take them out.

The Maw set amuses me. Bonus for 2 and 4 set, but the bonuses are pretty meh (10% movement speed and 10% leech while in the Maw), and the items are all 155, which is going to be like a 50 itemlevel downgrade by the time you get the entire set. There’s a bunch of stuff like that in SL, like Blizzard added things and then intentionally tuned them to be completely and utterly useless. Like…great use of dev time, guys.
