With the War Within Season 2 Blizzard have changed the format for Tier sets. Instead of everything being spec specific we are instead getting role specific 2 sets. There are slight variations between each of them, usually what skill will be used to trigger it.
The tier sets all have a mechanic in common below we have outlined the different abilities for each role.
Healers
All healers will have the Insurance! 2 set bonus, this is a small heal over time that is consumed when a player drops below 40% to heal them for a burst of healing.
Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them for (1000% of Spell power) over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them for (480% of Spell power).
Tanks
Tanks will have the Luck of the Draw! 2 set bonus, this is a random trigger when you are hit and will grant you your major defensive for a short duration (Icebound Fortitude, Shield Wall, Survival Instincts, Metamorphosis, Fortifying Brew or Guardian of the Ancient Kings), this also increases your damage dealt by 15% for 8 seconds.
Each time you take damage you have a chance to activate Luck of the Draw! causing you to cast “Major Defensive” for 6.0 sec. Your damage done is increased by 15% for 8 sec after Luck of the Draw! Activates.
Ranged DPS
Ranged DPS will have the Jackpot! 2 set bonus, this causes your damaging spells or abilities to proc a spec specific spell at the target, using your major DPS cooldown you will always gain Jackpot!.
Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that fires a “spec specific ability” at an enemy. Casting “Major DPS Cooldown” always hits a Jackpot.
Melee DPS!
Melee DPS will gain the Winning Streak! 2 set bonus, this gives some of your abilities a chance to increase the damage of some of your other abilities, using the abilities with increased damage has a small chance of removing the Winning Streak! Buff.
Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of “Spec specific abilities”, up to #%. “Increased damage abilities” have a #% chance to remove Winning Streak!
The #% value will vary depending on which specilization you are playing.
We hope this guide helped you understand the 2 set bonus changes coming in Patch 11.1, if you are looking for more information on class specific tier sets make sure to check our breakdown of tier set bonuses.
