Legacy Set Bonuses - A New Solution

[Reiunn-turalyon]

I understand that this is somewhat of a niche topic. But I wish to enquirer none the less.

Currently set bonuses on legacy gear across the board have been deactivated, with the exception of dungeon set two oddly enough. Though I understand the reasons for this - as an old set bonus could still be considered best in slot for some current content for example - I feel a general deactivation is a lazy fix. And I don’t say that to be rude.

Personally I think it would be much better if legacy set bonuses only deactivated when equipped on character with a higher level for the intended gear. So for example level 60 tier gear, if equipped on a level 61 or above then the set bonuses would deactivate. However if equipped at the appropriate level (level 60), then the set bonuses would remain active. Same for level 70, level 80 & so forth.

I feel a system like this would make old legacy gear more fun for twinks & legacy characters in general whilst still not posing an imbalance or risk to current endgame content.

The issue is that a good part of these bonus no longer work because of how they reworked specs. Some abilities don’t even exist anymore and i guess they preferred to just disable everything rather than have to manually fix every tier set which doesn’t work anymore
