WHAAT???
You mean to tell me… instead of letting me farm a normal class set (you know, like we’ve done for years), swap talents, and just play th…e game — now I need specific gear tied to specific Hero Talents?
Amazing. Truly groundbreaking. I always dreamed of farming five different belts and necks just so I can maybe try out a new build without nerfing myself into oblivion.
I was under the silly impression we were moving away from systems that make the game feel like a second job. Silly me. Clearly, what players want is more layers of unnecessary grind, more inventory clutter, and more reasons to dread switching specs.
Don’t worry though — I’m sure this will really enhance the experience… for nobody.
Seriously, was there a meeting where someone said, “Hey, you know what would be fun? Making Hero Talents dependent on different item sets!” and everyone just nodded?
Am I the only one baffled by this design? There are so many ways to make gameplay more flexible and fun. Instead, we’re doubling down on the gear treadmill.
Well played, Blizzard.
10/10. Would farm six different sets again. Can’t wait.
Yes but this affect all players , i consider my self a casual players too but still want to try and have options instead of being punished because i want to explore
I am a casual. I will not even farm the gear, or worry about the stats. I will get to an LFR acceptable level and hold there. My highest character is 618 atm and barely touched anything in Season 2. I am an extreme casual, but there are plenty of folks out here who just gear for heroics and LFR so we can do other things, not just min max for M+ and determine which of 5 sets works best.
I’m confused what the complaint is here. Tier set bonuses have morphed to suit your current spec for a while now. What’s all that different about them not only morphing based on spec, but also which hero talent is selected?
so there will no longer be the same situation it was in shadow lands for “relics power” we don’t need different type of gear for different hero specs ?
It will just switch set stats when you switch hero talents ? without another farming rounds?
Nope, you get one tier set and if you play lets say oracle holy priest and switch to voidweaver shadowpriest the bonus will change to your current spec and hero spec
ok , got it now , i assumed will be the same situation as other times when they push us to farm specific items for specific hero talent sets … not automatically switching
Shadowlands systems were pretty restrictive they wont make the same mistake again. I actually like hero spec sets as it enhances youe version of ret oe shadowpriest rather than just base shadowpriest. Although it is a little more to read whenever you swap specs
I have no idea how someone reads “Tier set bonuses based on hero talents” and immediately makes the leap to “We will need to farm multiple tier sets now” because that’s just insane.
Yup. Only need one tier set, bonuses based on specific hero talkents is a pure upgrade, allowing things like scalecommander and flameshaper having totally different bonuses vs one benefiting from the tier more than the other.
