Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

I thought so too but when you're on the WoW loading screen and you have those 'tips' at the bottom, one of them was 'pets cannot critically hit with spells, but players can'. I'm guessing the 'spell' bit is what is catching me out here? :P

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

Are you sure it's pets 'cause the way I remember that one is that *monsters* can't crit with spells

Empowered Imp - Spell - World of Warcraft and Demonic Pact - Spell - World of Warcraft

Doubt those would have been created by blizzard if pets didn't crit.

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

Hmmm 4p is a strange one tbh will be interested to see how the mechanics of it pan out on the ptr. Just from reading the t9 bonues i can see deep affy and demo/destro (0/41/30+0/40/31) gaining the most benifit. As deep destro i can see myself having 2t8 for immolate/conflag buff and 2t9 to buff imp with the new emp imp changes.

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

You realize that the 4pc bonus is some kind of placeholder and surely not the final set bonus? Looking at the sets for other classes there's a lot of stuff that just doesn't make sense at all.


My biggest complaint about set boni is that they are kinda boring. I mean, increase of damage/crit chance of spells X, Y and Z is not really innovative. Boosting the pet is at least somewhat different...

Pointless speculation is pointless. It's pretty clear that the 4pc is a placeholder, so we really can't take any of the rest as gospel. This is the PTR people. Nothing is final.

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

but speculating is so much fun...

In the last year or so that I follow the den the activity here has always been highest when the PTR's were up. Lots of new theorycrafting to do, new gear to evaluate, etc. Of course everything has to be redone once there are changes, but that's part of the fun

The downside is that it also leads to preemtive QQ...

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

Heck, look at the rest of them. There's so many different "Increases Critical Strike chance of Spell X by 5%" for 4pc T9 across all the classes that they have to be placeholders.

Not to mention, they're still using the Tier 8 art, which means they haven't done a blessed thing.

I mean, come on, yes Hunters have gotten a bit of the shaft, but 5% crit to STEADY SHOT?! Just not gonna happen.

Re: Weird set bonuses from T9-gear

heh lol, remember back before lich king came out and there was mass speculation on our new talents, trying to think of the ones that were being flung around in the affy tree, i remember cripple (god can you imagine the qq if we got that :P) what was the other one called, it aoe corruption enabling us to dot loads of mobs at once, that would have been sweet :D
