Perhaps I don't understand the class well, but the bonuses for a tree-druid do not seem all that useful. Are players often constrained by how often they can Swiftmend? I know it can and does save lives, but does it really spend much time on cooldown?

DOT and rot.

The cooldown is 15seconds. 2 seconds off that doesn't sound that great but it definitely helps. Also remember not all heavy resto druids are tree druids, not that that seems central to your post.

2 pieces: Increases the mana gained from your Spiritual Attunement ability by 10%.
As amazing as that set bonus is, I'd hope it gets changed to something that boosts something else (Something simple like a bit more chance to block on Holy Shield for example). I can't really imagine needing more mana gained from Spiritual Attunement while tanking anything that isn't a 5-man.

Of all the Paladin set bonuses the ones that seem least impressive are the Retribution ones; though it depends a bit on the proc rate for the mana recovery. The 2 piece for the Holy set seems almost *too* good however, due to the value of crit for a Paladin. With proper gearing it should be easy to hit over 40% spell crit with Holy Light with that, if not more.

Those set bonuses actually make me wonder... How many healing Paladins will go for the Protection 2-piece and the Holy 2-piece if they could count on a Shadow Priest in their group?

Assuming these are real, this one here has probably the most interesting mechanic to date. And I'm sure it'll be buggy as hell too.

Yeah, these offer more direct and less situational bonuses than anything I've ever seen besides Stormrage/Transcendence 3/8.

Some of them are scaling bonuses of exactly the type I thought they were avoiding from here on out-- increasing SnD haste by wearing 2pcs means you will be keeping those 2 pieces to scale the upgrades in all your other slots.

On a flavor level, I like the shaman one that give a bonus for having all 4 totems up; that's quirky and original.

I'm curious as to how they got the numebrs on these abilities - the four piece set bonus for most classes seems to be a straight % damage bonus increase, but obviously the numbers are different for every class. Presumably, based on the % that class uses that ability - hence why Mages only get 5% (works on most spells), Warlocks get 6% (DoT's don't count), and Hunters get 10% (only one shot). Would be nice to see if that's the line of thinking behind the numbers.

Would be nice if it worked on Arcane Blast though, as even when specced arcane missiles I still cast that spell more...

Until they change the mage 5 piece set bonus, I really wouldn't hold them to that stated belief. I still can't believe that a permanent mini-arcane power for Arcane Blast is still actually on those sets - I honestly couldn't ever see myself losing that 2 piece bonus.
(Similarily, if I PvP'ed, theres no replacement for the 2 piece bonus from tier 4 either).

Well high 30s low 40s was attainable pre-TBC at 60. I thought the same thing when I saw the bonus but then maybe it's time for gear to start to look the way Naxx gear looked when you first saw it.

The way the 2-piece prot bonus is worded makes me think it's 10% of 10% for a grand total of 11%.

:hifive:

Totem synergies is an idea I have /lusted/ after since the inception of my shaman, and if the set bonus of tier 6 is what it takes to bring that sort of mechanic to fruition then so be it. Absolutely fantastic idea/mechanic/ohgodsoexcited.

Same thing I thought when I read them. The critical difference between these bonuses and the Tier 1/2 "gottahave" bonuses is that these are all increasing something you already have instead of giving you something unique you can't get anywhere else, like the 3 piece Ten Storms bonus. At some point, all of these will be obselete through natural gear progression, though I do agree that the longevity of some of these pieces will be well beyond what it ought to be (not that some of the earlier bonuses aren't worth holding on to, hi uninterruptable fireballs).

Are you sure those bonuses are recently added? I could swear I've read the exact same ones ages ago when they showed that picture of the warrior T6.
