You're images cut off all the effects at the bottom of the pictures. Anyone got any better images?

so from what it looks like, our fabled set is gonna have worse bonuses (looks like more crit than DA) but will have crit mit and some sweet effects. The Jcap bonus is neat, but i'm not sure it's gonna be worth wearing 6 pieces. The chest piece is nice and has a good effect (benevolent alacrity on the helm, wtf? hooray, we get to cast group buffs faster)

Thanks for posting, Friend!

Really curious about the focus effect on Alin's, what could it be!

The BP effect increasing 3% damage/heals for your group is pretty cool. I don't think this effect is as good as the heroic BP effect which is the proc increase to PoTM and CoB, however.

The shoulders are the only good piece in the set.

The rest of the set is terrible, imo. The set bonuses are all worthless. We don't need any more conc slots, so wearing 2 VP pieces and 2 of these pieces would be dumb and I don't think there'd ever be a reason to wear 2 of these pieces because I'm sure there's got to be better gear out there as most of these pieces are minor upgrades or not even upgrades over top tier RoK gear.

Focus Alins is a joke. With all the aggro control tanks get, it's not going to mean anything.

I hope this set is not a raid set. I think it's not even as good as our PvP set and it's certainly comparable to our heroic set.

The best part about these new sets are that you have to pay plat, as well as the gem + pattern combo. So once you get all the gems and patterns, you have to give the merchant 27.5p. I hope he at least gives you a complimentary bottle of lube.

Set bonuses all worthless, surely not? The extra damage on PoTM isn't anything new, but still awesome no? A little boost to JC... I'll take it.

Freeing up a concentration slot is pretty useless I agree... but that's the 2 piece bonus after all, shouldnt expect too much I guess.

I haven't played beta at all, so I'll take your word for the Alin's focus though.

It's rehashed VP set bonuses.

+175 to PoTM was decent in RoK, but in TSO it loses value based on the fact that people do more DPS.

The increase in JC is terrible. How I understand it, is 8% increase to max crit hits is taking a crit that normally would do 1.3x damage to 1.38x damage. It's barely anything.

So say you swing for 2.5k, with a crit you'd be at 3.25k normally, but with this new buff you'd be at 3.45k, a gain of 200 damage.
