They exist to exist and that’s it. They exist so that they exist and existing means they exist. Therefore those who wish for them to exist will be satisfied.
I think the lock set looks just fine. Makes me think a better appearance of the necrolords covenant set. The helm is kinda also reminding me of tier 2. I think it’s fine.
If it’s set bonuses it’s gonna be kinda meh because they need to see how classes do with their builds and just messing with crit can make tuning easier.
The better sets come later in the expansion. They look better and more class themed then SL final raid tier sets…
Also OP, Blizzard has stated that the reason the tier pieces are boring is because the Talent Trees are complicated enough as is, they didn’t wanna overwhelm us with another complicated tier system.
If it’s not blizzards idea they put no thought or effort into they just reskin stuff for tier sets. We cried for tier sets we got em back but blizz is gonna troll use on cosmetics for sure.
Actually one of the biggest problems with the game has been this incessant desire for “creativity”. Often enough that so called creativity, makes gameplay clunky and awkward. I don’t want any fancy nonsense or time wasting mini-games as part of my general gameplay in dungeons and raids; what I want, is streamlined efficiency. Classes/specs have their core abilities and continuing to demand more and more “creativity” and “uniqueness” just leads to foolishness like “run around and collect orbs for %stat increase and extra zappy bolt at target”. You can miss me with that bs tbh.
It would be a nightmare if they were trying to balance ridiculously OP tier sets on top of the brand new talent load outs. It is smart to make them less impactful. Rarely did they even give us tier sets for the first raid anyway
