(3) Set: Increases your out-of-combat regeneration in the outdoors, normal dungeons and battlegrounds.

(4) Set: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% primary stat for 2 minutes. Defeating additional enemies extends this effect, up to 2 additional minutes.

Comment by waytogoteamHmm doesn't seem too bad. Can't wait to try it out.Comment by Njaseyso they are useless
can i have my money back?Comment by Wh0sthereSo, more rested experience, interesting. If this was a while ago and rested xp lasted for a longer period totally get that. But now, when you are trying to level quickly, you rarely get any rested :(Comment by DelliWowThese are way more cool than the % xp bonus imo, and atm from what I've heard leveling in SL even without heirlooms is quicker than retail.Comment by ScumlordStudioHey honestly this is pretty fricken neat! I like it!Comment by ColiverThis is acceptable.Comment by CornerStoreDCant wait to bust all over some mobs when I levelComment by ZigrifidSo heirlooms become a set now? or am i wrong and didnt understood it correctlyComment by juniordlukwill allow you to select an expansion to level through and experience its full storyComment by DremallThat seems like a pretty good change.Comment by AeldricCool, I hate heirlooms. Glad to see their nerf.Comment by Vampyr78Having rested bonus last longer is acutally quite a nice alternative.Comment by Deverill"(4) Set: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% primary stat for 2 minutes.

Don't most level-ups happen at the end of a dungeon / on quest turn-ins? This burst of damage seems useless, more of a flavor...Comment by j0esterI'd like to see what they're gonna do with the Weps and Trinkets. But seems like My toon should wear 6piece of mixed Heirloom gear for that bonus Rested hehe.Comment by SwiftHunterso they are useless
can i have my money back?Comment by 2095770So do we get refunded?Comment by ArrayaThis is interesting, really like the idea of set bonuses for them.
Now, if only they made non-set Belt, Boots and Gloves so I didn't have to constantly go to the Transmogrifier...Comment by HelotharUnderwhelming, these set bonuses are.. I hope they will come up with something more rewarding. I've spent a LOT of gold and time farming the heirlooms, I'd be sad to see them get downgraded this bad. I agree the experience buff in its current state would be excessive in SL, but this concept is just not pleasing me at all.Comment by TheProphetLordIt isn't a bad idea and 3 of the 4 set bonuses I think will work well. But that 4 set bonus feels weak/out of place and think it needs a buff of some sort or a complete rework.

It can't be replaced with a movement buff or else you'll see heirlooms being used for cheese strategies in Mythic+. A similar issue with doing something like a rep bonus buff.

My suggestion would be a reduction of your hearthstone cooldown. Maybe by only a couple of minutes, but it would help speed up levelling times without giving xp bonuses.Comment by BurntMangoNot sure that I like the 4 set bonus.....I usually level up when I'm turning in quests, not fighting mobs. I feel like it would rarely be useful.
