Like title says, even if they aren’t ‘technically undead’ that tagging needs to be functionally added for all of the undead specific bonuses in naxx, if they want to increase the difficulty of arachnid quarter thats fine (and probably healthy for the raid even outside of retagging) but having the primary thing you play around being your bonuses not functioning is bad gameplay.

No thanks, there is 0 reason to waste time and resources to rebalance that wing around 6pc.
The wing has been functioning fine and I’d much rather have the devs use their energy/resources on Phase 8.

meanwhile im out here hoping the scarlet enclave isnt Undead so we can all drop T3 for good
that would be the whole point of horizontal progression, keep previous gear relevant. pretty much what people want from classic+
The undead specific 6pc is make or break for most dps classes in naxx
if the new raid is still undead but has a new set it will either A) force people to not swap until they can overcome the sometimes 5k dps loss or more from the 6pc Bonus (thats without the sanc buff)
Or
B) never use the new set because the 6pc will just stay stronger.
I’m all for horizontal progression but It cant start from T3, it just wasnt designed for it
I feel like its lose-lose either way.
Funny enough, the dark path would be as some have speculated that the first ~third of the Scarlet raid will be Undead themed, so now you need to have those bonuses to parse well early on, and have to keep multiple gear sets in your bag, but ultimately won’t use them for the harder bosses. Mal’ganis is likely the final boss of the raid so then you do swap back to certain things like the KT trinket which works against demons in addition to Undead, but not other things like the Undead only bonuses.
It’s already bad enough to flip-flop in Naxx but at least those bosses were right next to each other and easier bosses in the grand scheme so it’s really not a big deal but that’s going to stink in a new raid.
I dunno we’ll see what they do. It’s kind of rough either way.
so you can get the next set bonus that only works in enclave…
and SM…looool
That would be awful. Months of farming T3 just to put it in the bank for P8? No thanks. Just improve some of the tier bonuses, they’re not all useless.
They already did it for every set before T3 when naxx came out
No they didn’t. I wore T1 in in BWL. I wore T2 in AQ, I’m using partial T2.5 in Naxx.
the 6pc being mandatory means we cant use AQ,T2 or T1 4pc/6pc If your class has a bad 2 pc bonus the lack of stats hurts alot
by and large T3 is a failure of set design as most of the dmg for a large majority of classes is locked behind the 6pc undead set bonus which only works in naxx and if the scarlet e3nclave is undead unless they do the same gimmick again will force T3 6pc for the entire raid
as a class with very ugly and boring T3 I cant wait for it to die
You basically just re-iterated my original point. Fix the 6-set bonuses to work generically and everyone is happy.
Most people don’t have 6-set t3 right now so 2.5 is still very much relevant. The cool thing about SoD is how you want to mix/match tier bonuses if your full set isn’t better than a mix.
But I dislike the bland set bonuses and the look of the tier hence why i want it gone next phase
I have 1 piece of T3 (the ring) and plan to keep it that way
My Mix of T2.5 and T2 is 10k dps behind T3 but its fun to play regardless but Im holding onto hope that T3.5 or T4 will supplant T3 entirely
Sorry but not liking the appearance is not a valid reason. Cata has transmog though, it’s a lot of fun!
Wear whatever you want, the raid won’t be challenging anyway.
No one thats an adult cares about parsing
except the ones that sit in class discords all day measuring e-peens over killing one mechanic bosses
I think wanting new gear to replace the old gear because its unfun and ugly is a perfectly valid reason
