Comment by SammaelThat DH tier set doesn't exist anymoreComment by LeftkeywestDisable tier sets in PvP.Comment by XahrackuYall missing how the Guardian Druid 2 piece interacts with Legacy of the Sleeper legendary. big broken :DComment by CoffeeCrusader23nobody told this poor man DH set bonus changed?Comment by Lobo720"Hunters are one of the few pure DPS classes that have three viable PvP specs and all of their tier set bonuses appear quite powerful."

This is when you know the writer is just filling in a mad lib to write this article. BM tier set bonuses are beyond horrible. lolComment by slipsmcgripshow about blood dk pimp slapping people in the face with 160% heart strikes every time they parry - not even including withering plague soulbind conduitComment by QuazarSo just my 2c for the *new* DH set, I think the 20% damage increase for our two spenders will be great, and the 4-piece will work really nicely to the point we might actually start using Demonic Origins more in arena settings :D I'm not an expert but I think the defensive legendaries (Fodder to the Flame) won't be 'good enough' to compete with a combo like Chaos Blades + Darkglare Boon *Edit: Ive been corrected, and know now you cant mix these 2 legos since its like 1 cov and 1 regular iirc* (Especially considering the Necrolord cov ability is a chance to proc making it unreliable). I might be wrong, after all, since everyone will be more powerful in arena it might force classes susceptible to bursty combos to take the defensive options (Considering Netherwalk has a 3min CD, and Darkness is a 50/50 coin-flip on a 3min CD also).

DH has good defensives but outside of Blur, there are big windows where DHs might not have anything available. I'm probably just stating the obvious lol but maybe Necrolord DH + 2 offensive legendaries might be the right mix of defensive / offensive to find a nice balance, but at a big burst-window loss to trade out for The Hunt. :)Comment by saxayonehow about blood dk pimp slapping people in the face with 160% heart strikes every time they parry - not even including withering plague soulbind conduithttps://www.wowhead.com/news/9-2-ptr-build-41962-tier-set-changes-blood-dk-mage-prot-pally-shadow-priest-325676Comment by SeganoHow you gonna leave prot pala sets out? That is easily the most broken one. You literally kill yourself with judgements if you attack the palaComment by CoffeeCrusader23you cannot combo boon and chaos blades. 2nd legendary must be a covenant legendary and origins is pretty garbage when its competing with the other honor talentsComment by JaceRaifelSo just my 2c for the *new* DH set, I think the 20% damage increase for our two spenders will be great, and the 4-piece will work really nicely to the point we might actually start using Demonic Origins more in arena settings :D I'm not an expert but I think the defensive legendaries (Fodder to the Flame) won't be 'good enough' to compete with a combo like Chaos Blades + Darkglare Boon (Especially considering the Necrolord cov ability is a chance to proc making it unreliable).

A whole section of the article is incorrect.Comment by ElladarynHoly Paladin could be good for RBGs sustained healing if they pair Maldraxxus with Light of Dawn legendaries? Though they would lose the extra shield on Holy Shock, that would increase their Avening Wrath cooldown reduction I guess.Comment by Lobo720"Hunters are one of the few pure DPS classes that have three viable PvP specs and all of their tier set bonuses appear quite powerful."

This is when you know the writer is just filling in a mad lib to write this article. BM tier set bonuses are beyond horrible. lolComment by FatCheeseManA lot of this is already outdated. This should not of been published in this state. I am all for more articles. but some basic proof reads will be required.Comment by Cetex1337Nice of you to include a DH set which doesnt exist anymore :DComment by QuazarAh yeah forgot it was a cov legendary + normal legendary I think, my bad D:
