For SOD you probably know by now that juggling tier sets has become intense. To the point they’ve had to add the shoulder enchants, and back in the earlier phase allow you to change from Core Forged to Draconic. Very frustrating when you have to downgrade a piece of gear from the current raid to something significantly worse but it’s just for the tier set.
In original classic, it barely mattered because the tier sets were mostly horrible. In SOD, tier sets objectively define your entire class. Instead of the tier bonuses being applied to the gear itself, why not do something similar like enchants you get from raids that change/buff how your class works instead? So then you actually upgrade your gear.
That or go back to the simple bonuses, which is also objectively kind of lame. IMO it’d be better if the raids were chock full of gear everyone can go for with the tier “enchants” also there.

I was just thinking about this yesterday… Would be neat if every set had the ability to core forge back, so you did not have to wait weeks to equip something…
I may be overlooking something more obvious to others but the issues as I’ve seen it has been their dependence on set bonuses to flavor the class as opposed to rune adjustments and actual talent tree changes.
Entire rotations depend on specific set bonuses and over the period of multiple phases that makes playing a new character feel pretty bad. Classes that have relied heavily on ZG set bonuses doubly so. 2.5 being a close second, but at least that tier doesn’t require EOM like grind or rep, just gotta battle through the sea of “HR everything I want” pugs.

My guess Is that the modern client allows for equipment changes to be easily set up and simmed.
we shockadins were free from this bullsht for a couple weeks then the devs said “nope heres some copypasta with int on it lol we took away all ur dmg and put it on here too btw cos fku”
Everyone can be free Im playing KS hunter and missing out on 10% dmg on main ability cause I don’t care enough to do AQ40
