wow Tier Sets Returning in Patch 9.2

[Stan 5,018]

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that Tier sets will be returning in Patch 9.2!

In Preach's interview, Ion said "Tier sets will be returning in our next adventure", which likely refers to Patch 9.2. Blizzard removed Class / Tier sets in Battle for Azeroth when they said they want to focus on providing players with raid-themed armor instead of class armor. As a result, 12 class sets have been reduced to just 4 sets based on your armor type.

Tier Sets are a hot topic in the community and Blizzard confirmed in the past they wouldn't be coming at Shadowlands launch or in Chains of Domination. Finally, we learned that they will be back in 9.2!

Nice

Now if they could also bring back Tree of Life as a shapeshift with an updated model, that would be great.

i hope they creat tier sets bound to the raid so they are useless in m+ / just normal amor pieces and not a must have for every content

Didn't they say they were going to do it for 9.1?  Why would we believe them for 9.2?

While this makes me happy, and is a positive development - 9.2? So 2022? 😞

Tree of life is in the game. Not with an updated model, but it is in the game dude...

I'm well aware of that. I meant as an actual shapeshift, like it was until Wrath of the Lich King, not a cooldown. And no, just the Treant cosmetic form doesn't count.

When I switched to retail from a WotLK private server I was also a bit bummed that tree of life is no longer a shapeshift form. Then I thought, it's actually nice that druids get a spec where they can look at their actual character model. And now with the cosmetics, people have a choice. Both as resto and balance.

That's why Glyph of the Stars exist. Blizzard could've just done the same thing for Restoration and kept the Tree of Life shapeshift, simple as that.

Ah then I misread your comment. I thought you meant the treant one which druids has as a shapeshift form already, not the big tree but the smol one.

they never said 9.1 exactly, but i remember very clearly, how they confirmed, that after the release of shadowlands, where there won't be any sets, they will add them in the upcoming patch. I don't know for sure if it was "the" or "a" upcoming patch, but the wording implicated strongly that we can expect them in 9.1 and it hyped me up very much. Now that they are not even saying 9.2 clearly, i expect "upcoming adventure" means next expansion...

"Tier sets will be returning in our next adventure" 

Well that might mean "next expansion" since we are on the shadowlands adventure right now, at least its not SOON™

Highly unlikely.  That's stating that any PvPer that earns their gear in PvP only are not welcome into doing Raiding or Mythic+ and are forced to equip start out leveling greens when doing PvE content.  If you are referring to a Benthic style type of bonuses that can be used in Nazjatar or EP type of gear we may see something like that or similar to that stature in 9.1

This, they just said upcoming adventure, could be 9.2, 9.3 if there is one, or more likely, 10.x

And it is utmost nonsensical particularly because i can provide them more than 50 specbound instead of classbound per patch on my own, they could pay the respect that gear is owed and release 100 pieces per patch minimum, covenant theme makes sense but not having it class or specbound is disrespectful towards prop artists who are more than willing to get them done as long as they get to be available to players.

Dude.. you just coming off sounding bitter that they don't think your ideas are "incredible" or "feasable"
