JOKE DEVELOPMENT TEAM IN PANIC MODE…
In conbustion yes outside it no
Hey, Blizzard!
Here’s a new (better) set bonus:
(2) Set Bonus: Gives you the (4) Set Bonus
(4) Set Bonus: Grants you the new ability Deep Freeze, for all specs
You’re welcome!
Fire Blast always lands critical hits as Fire, whilst Phoenix Flames can be talented to always land a critical hit via Alexstrazsa’s Fury.
That 4 set is a bunch of nonsense.
They are all dull tier sets. They don’t have to be good this tier as we have the new trees to get to grips with. They are just dps boosts to chase.
I get the fireball one, but i was under the illusion the other 2 were already 100% crit chance?
The issue isnt it being dull
The issue is the 4 set makes no sense given the talent tree makes 2 of 3 abilities certain crits already.
Change it to increasing the critical chance of Fireball and pyroblast by 20% it will be equally as boring, but will be far more relevant.
50% is good the other tier sets are thrash to say the least. For example the boomkin one is good and way better then the most of them
Yeah lots of hit and misses.
Hopefully beta testing will allow blizzard to act on feedback though
Sure. But atleast the people who design them should have proper IQ and even look at the fooking Classes before conjuring up trash in 10 seconds and giving it immediate green light. Unreal.
Look at Ferals. JOKE!
Think is was very much a case of get anything in there asap. M+ isnt even up on beta yet, raid testing and balancing just starting. At least they have till dec 12th to make changes to this stuff, instead of just launch.
I like 4-set for frost tho. gonna be fun in pvpv 
Yes. Arcane and Frost looks decent. Its the Fireball and Phoenix Flames issue. Also buffing Phoenix Flames means that you simply have to play Phoenix Flames related build atleast the whole first season and raid tier.
Should be more like this:
(2) Set Bonus +10% Crit for all Fire Spells
(4) Set Bonus +10% All Fire Spell Damage
Blast is always 100% crit.
I doubt that very much. Im guessing only reason you take PF talents is for more instant flamestrikes in m+.
How do you doubt that?
(4) Set Bonus: Fire Blast, Phoenix Flames, and Fireball deal 10% increased damage and their chance to critically strike is increased by 10%.
Phoenix Flames are in the rotation for sure. +10% more damage. Phoenix Flames can also be used to proc Hot Streak. It also has a Talent that makes it proc damage and reset its CD by 10 seconds. Its meant to be a part of the core rotation if this set bonus goes live the way it is. In both PvE and PvP will have it.
There is in fact nothing wrong with PF now that blaster got extended. With Alextraza and Reborn talented, PF becomes a great crit chaining tool for all situations and builds.
The tier set increases everything by 10% so that really doesn’t matter. The only problem with the PF talents is there’s better options, you can’t afford them or you drop huge stat gains in the middle section and everything in the bottom section is too powerful.
How does the Set Bonus helps PF? Also Blaster should not be a thing, because its for Ignite builds and you have to take it if you want Double Meteor. The Fire Tree is so bad its insane. Nothing feels fresh and amazing.
The set bonus helps PF in two ways:
Blaster Master is one of the best talents in the entire tree, its free mastery and should be honestly picked regardless of what build you intend to run.
In general, the fire tree is looking pretty damn good. Shadowlands Fire is the best iteration of fire ever, and we’ve got that all transitioning into Dragonflight plus some extras (in the form of extra throughput talents and much needed cleave change).
