S4 tier gear for Frost

My Frost DK isn’t my main; lately I play a Priest mostly, and I don’t keep up on the class as much as I should. I’m just wondering if I’m completely missing something.

My Season 3 tier pieces are a mixture of Hero/Mythic-level. They sim substantially higher on DPS than Champion-level Season 4 tier, despite being 20 ilvls lower than the new stuff.

If this is correct, and I’m not just missing something, then Blizzard is basically saying, “Don’t enjoy any new tier gear until you’re raiding Heroic (or doing the equivalent in M+).”

Leaving aside the downer aspect of that, it’s a bit of a Catch-22, since one of the points of lower-level content is to gear up for higher-level content.

Am I just missing something?

They need to un-nerf the set from when it was nerfed going into S3. Looks like changes have gone out for the week though, so better luck next week!

It sucks that the terribleness of the set bonus tuning offsets a combined gain of 104 ilvls across four pieces of gear.

S3 tier set is just much more powerful than s4 tier set in terms of st

It’s not just single target … :frowning:
