No, its not. I dont know why you keep saying that because Blizzard clearly refers to tier as the entire visual set. The entire set is named that.
Just to help you understand - I’ll give you another link where they clearly call the full aesthic the “TRANSMOG” set:

Oh and one more - just incase you wanted to see all the TRANSMOG sets for any particular class:

Im talking about in game.
Those links reference the gear and sets in game.
Then why does Blizzard label the entire set Scourgelord? Its the tier set… duh.
In the appearances UI, under sets, they label the transmog sets name, with the raid instance, and then have drop downs by raid difficulty.
The Tier sets (the pieces that contribute to the class/spec bonus) are a subset of pieces of the Transmog set.
Again, they are 2 different things that overlap. All tier pieces are a part of the transmog set, but not all transmog pieces are tier pieces.

No, you are just flat out wrong. WoWhead isnt ran by Blizzard, it just uses the database.
So going off of what Blizzard says and how they label stuff. Tier just refers to the raid season.
Tier even means a row or level of structure. Again if you are using the word improperly, thats on you. Blizzard is using it properly. They say tier to mean the raid tier, not the set bonus.
Well you’re entitled to your opinion. I’ve referenced things both on WoWhead and in Blizzards in-game interface.
But at least we can see how and why conflating 2 different,but overlapping things can be confusing. I appreciate you being a great example of this.
No, you just linked wowhead.
Tell me, how did Blizzard use the term “tier” in the post? That should tell you everything in how they see tier gear.
This is exactly where all the confusion came about. Tier has never not contributed to a set bonus. All of sudden some tier gear doesn’t contribute to a set bonus.
That’s why people think it’s either connected to the power system, or they’re just not tier at all.

After all these years, I shouldn’t feel this good about not playing in so long that I don’t have a clue what you are talking about.
What’s the point of making any non tier slots thru the catalyst?
They give you an extra option of secondary stats.
These new pieces are completely new to 9.2 and don’t have any of the existing stat/weight combinations that the other raid gear has.
What’s sad is that this is probably the most impactful and useful part of the system (outside of the actual tier pieces) and they don’t mention it at all in their post.
You also get transmog for the conversion - but I’m not sure how ilvl maps to the 4 different transmog sets.
Answer the question, how did they use “tier” in the post? Did they use referring to the raid tier, or set bonus?
Its clearly referring to the raid tier and not the set bonus. Tier 10 gear is referring to the gear that is from the 10th raid tier. Not the set bonus. Tier20 tells you which raid tier and which raids are within that tier to go to. Its a level, not set bonus.
Like I said this is like the word theory. Scientists use theory in the proper way while normal people say “its just a theory” meaning idea or hypothesis. But scientists already have a word for that, hypothesis.
Tier when used by blizzard means the gear they created for that tier.
You can put different stats on the gear
I’ve always seen it written and verbalized as T#. Tee-10 or Tee-20. I do a lot of legacy transmog runs - and that’s how those are used when talking about the aesthetic sets. There are sometimes non-class T# sets as well, that are usually specific to armor type.
I’ve always understood these references to the transmog for those raids.
The tier gear was the stuff with power and bonuses.
The T means tier. Always has.
Weird that I’ve never talked to anyone with that interpretation.
Even others on this thread refer to tier as the stuff with power.
But hey man, you do you. We’re all playing a fantasy game, so if you prefer to live in a made-up world and you’re happy, then go with it.
As far as i know, you get the appearance corresponding to the highest raid difficulty that is below or equal to the ilvl of the piece of gear you are converting. So, it would be like this:
-
Ilvl 251 or lower: LFR transmog. I think only unranked conquest gear, end of dungeon gear for lower keys and sandworn relic gear will fall into this category, since a +2 key already gives 252 in the vault, which is the ilvl of normal raid.
-
Ilvl 252 to 264: Normal transmog
-
Ilvl 265 to 277: Heroic transmog
-
Ilvl 278 or higher: Mythic transmog
I dont know if upgrading M+/PvP gear above the appropriate ilvl will unlock you the corresponding transmog. Iirc i have read in another post that it will do, but i am not sure about that.
And they are using the term tier wrong. Tier is a row or level in a list basically. Like a 3 tier cake has 3 layers to it.
The T in T# means tier. What else would it mean? T10, and tier 10 just means ICC / Ruby Sanctum. It doesnt mean set bonus.
