I want to have sex with the feral idol

I'm sure some of the released stuff is place holders. MMO Champ has said as much.

Feral Tier

The head and shoulders... I mean are we getting a new terrify children ability? Also why haste? I mean its freaking tier gear and your forcing haste on us again?

Resto Tier

Has to be place holder.

Boomkin Tier

Placeholder art for sure as is the same as resto. Hit on gear is unneeded. Maybe they can take feral's haste and we can trade for the hit?

Moonfire crits, are you @#%^ing kidding me?

Thats gonna tick for like 2.5k...

Moonfire suddenly becomes that much more important.

4 piece set is alright I'd rather have have 2 piece t8 and 2 piece t9 and fill in the rest.

The idol is alright as well, and since it procs of tics and not the actual moonfire that's pretty sweet. Nothing like a free 3% crit every now and again.

The new 4T9 is an improvement over the previous versions, but 2T8 is so good that Blizzard would have a hard time come up with a reasonable set bonus to compete with it. When you compare 2T8 to 4T9 directly, the 2T8 set bonus is clearly better by a wide margin.

However, if you upgrade to 4T9 your picking up more then a new set bonus. The additional stats you will pick up along with 4T9 will close the gap, and according to my model eliminate the gap if your using the highest iLevel of T9.

It is important to note how close the two numbers are. This shows that there is very little difference between using 2T8.226 and 4T9.258. It also indicates that you probably shouldn't upgrade to 4T9 until you have a full set of the 258 iLevel tier set.

That's a bit backwards thinking, right? T9 should be better than T8, not equal, what's the point in upgrading then? The way I see it, the set bonuses between the different tiers should be roughly equal in value, so that with the stat increase between tiers, you end up with better gear when you upgrade to the next tier.
