Some updates on test to our shard gear.


Note that I was wearing the legs when I took the screenshot, so thats is why the mit values on some items may look different.

Here's the jist of it.

Chest - no change
Legs - gained Taunt Crit and mit boost (about 40 extra mit per piece)
Shoulders - Increased Deflection Chance
Helm - slight increase to defense and deflection, and gained taunt crit
Gloves - gained taunt crit
Boots - gained taunt crit
Forearms - no change

Seems all the classes got their patterns buffed. I would have preffered base damage rather than taunt crit, but at least it's not a nerf.

I would have loved some base CA damage too, and some Reuse ability. This set is very defensive.
Don't get me wrong, i like it but not sure the taunt thing is this much necessary considering the ammount you have already on them, and... that you can get the taunt critical/base taunt with AAs, and not Ca damage.
Ah well, at least we got some miti increase.

But wtf is the problem with the 4 pieces bonus set it's still ugly as fuck. I want them to restore the KO combo bonus OR make our temporary miti buff permanant while wearing the 4 pieces if they want to keep it defensive.

Yea not a huge upgrade from live.
The need to change our 4 peice effect to reduce the recast of knockout and increase the damage.
The 2 piece set should increase proc % on all 3 of our stances now.

Apparently the raid set is getting a 5 set bonus..............
and fyreflyte will still evaluate the raid sets individually the changes on test for the raid set were fairly generic increases.
Yahh, hopefully our 4 set gets changed and our 2 set effects all 3 stances now.

Or have KO get a damage boost and + Melee Crit bonus for the duration.

They added yet another Taunt if your in front, Detaunt if you in back of the mob as the new 5 piece bonus. taunt/detaunt is 5k for me on test 2 times per min.

GDI.

Would it really hurt to make the 5 set be like, Knockout dmg increased by x amount, groupwide?

Only if you want to be wearing the same armor for the next 3 expansions. You know like that stupid choker from T7 heroic instance. Lets' not suggest more broken itemization.

Okay, you win. I do agree with that. I honestly do think the Choker has broken alot of things in this game, dps wise. If we didnt have the choker, then the proposed proc nerf wouldnt have even reared it's ugly head.

But seriously, a taunt/detaunt for using five of six pieces? Make it something worthwhile.

There is a dps set also, usable for Brawlers and Druids, have'nt seen the stats yet, but I hope it really dps minded
