    THE RETURN OF SET BONUSES!
  • drkbodhidrkbodhi Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,378 Arc User
    Not just set bonuses... these are customized armor set bonuses.

    So you can have a Duelist and Assault versions at the same time and get a bonus. That means they were listening. I suggested this option a few months ago.

    Currently the Dragonflight stats and the Elemental Dragonflight stats on the Black Ice professions page are the same. So expect changes as Im sure they're just a filler for now. :o

    I believe one is supposed to be 142 and the other is probably 147.

    Looked at the paladin version. The stats are pretty much the elven armors boosted up to the new iLevels. And of course, people thinking these armors will be easy to get, well heart breaker time, you will still have to run t2 dungeons because you will need protector seals according to the page to get these armors, along with special items for strongholds, and a t3 barracks.

    Gotta wait and see what the rest of the stats/set bonuses look like. This seems kinda lack luster.

    So you get bonuses for two of a set and then THREE? For what reason exactly? Makes getting the fourth piece of gear pointless other than upgrading your current gear.

    Bonus for two of a set, for four of a set, or 2 bonuses for two different sets of 2. No 3 of a set bonus.

    Check out the posted link. The set clearly says 2 of or 3 of. A typo then?

    Concerning sets where the stats are nearly identical to the Elven Armor set, the build currently on preview is still a work in progress, so some of those stats are placeholder. While a piece here or there in certain sets may share its stat distribution with a previous set, please wait for the official launch to be certain which stats you will find on each piece.

    Not a typo, there is a set bonus for having 2 and 3 pieces of a set, no bonus for 4. In addition, as drkbodhi pointed out above, you will be able to use any 2 or 3 pieces of the Dragonflight or Lionsmane armor to activate their respective set bonuses, regardless of which "spec" the gear is. E.g. you may equip a Dragonflight Ward Breastplate and a Dragonflight Raid Helm and receive the 2 piece bonus.

    Limiting set bonuses to to 3 pieces is a decision we made to allow players to continue to use one-off pieces from other sets without feeling like they are being punished, in addition, we would like to make it easier to transfer between sets that offer bonuses. When getting a new piece of awesome gear, we don't want it to rot in your bags until you have completed the set.

    Hey everyone, I've created a new thread on the preview forums devoted to feedback and discussion for rewards in M7: Strongholds, since we'd like to keep the discussion centralized, I'm going to have this thread closed and include my above responses in that original thread.

    Once the module is live, if you'd like to create new threads to discuss separate components of rewards here on the general forums, please feel free to do so. This is only a temporary measure to ensure we see all of your feedback in a timely manner.

    If you'd like to continue discussing the topics from this thread, please head over to: Stronghold - Rewards, and do so!

    oh, I hope we dont have to run t2 DDS to get pvp armour, that is not good.

    I cant stand doing them anymore.. since current mod came out and its practically required to have one of maybe 3 group set ups to finish them.
