It's a good thing that concussive shot is very useful spell, oh wait.

If I was a pvper I'd probably be pretty pissed now. :|

I still think the hunter bonus is laughable especially when you compare it to some of the other bonuses. Concussive Shot is useful but it doesn't deserve a set bonus.

A reduction on traps would be much better. I'd say scattershot or silencing shot but those are both talents. That's for another thread though.

You can really see that they put an effort into the hunter set bonus... i wonder if we can wear 2 pc season 1 and 2 pc season 2 for the 70 resilience bonus?
The priest one is also pretty bad. Although the rogue one is pretty nice!

I'd assume so, they're fixing it so you can wear one of the other specs and get both set bonuses(I.E. paladin getting 2 pieces of the ret and 2 of the holy set).

It's quite striking how much of a difference in usefulness there is between the class set bonuses.

The druid speed bonus is game changing especially for ferals, reduced cooldown on intercept is a huge boost to warriors, and 10 energy is quite handy for rogues. On the other hand, taking 24 seconds off the cooldown of nature's swiftness for a shaman is completely meaningless unless a match lasts 2 minutes and 36 seconds since the time you first used the ability. Usually at that point the matches are more about mana than anything else.

Also I'll be amazed if I ever actually see anyone with a completed set bonus for reduced cooldown on stormstrike or reduced mana cost on moonfire

-0.2 cast time on immolate is horible also.. It's like begging warlocks to go 2 sets for +70 resilience bonus. I really wish they could add something better.

Probably. Jesus, that bonus is old. Wasn't it first on the blue gloves back when the whole honor system originally debuted? Same story for 10sec on HoJ.

Does anyone have any idea how this second set will work?
Will it cost more points? will it be better? will you need the original item? Any info?

One has to ask, what is the point in making two different Warlock sets, one (I would imagine, as it is now) for Affliction, the other Destruction, and then giving them both a Destruction set bonus.

Um are you sure this is season 2 gear or just the season 1 stuff tweaked (set bonuses changed). My set bonuses didn't change at all so I can't tell, but when I visited the area52 vendor there was only the new healing gear and the names/stats were pretty much the same for warlock gear.

So instead of adding new rewards in season 2, they just upgrade the existing sets, leaving the itemization holes for healers wide, wide open? That's sad =(
