Patch 9.2 of World of Warcraft brings back tier sets – and they have crazy bonuses. We show you all of them.
With Patch 9.2 Eternity’s End, a feature has returned to World of Warcraft that players have been longing for years – the tier sets. Finally, there are solid sets for each class again. However, these also come with pretty powerful bonuses that will have a drastic impact on the effectiveness of your class.
What’s new about the tier sets? Unlike before, there will not only be tier sets from the new raid “Mausoleum of the First”. You can also earn parts of the tier set through PvP or “Mythic+” runs. This way, all players can enjoy the tier sets, no matter what type of endgame activity they prefer.
All new set bonuses of the tier sets from Patch 9.2 Eternity’s End
As usual for tier sets, all sets come with different bonuses. For each specialization, there are 2 different bonuses – one for wearing 2 pieces and another for wearing 4 pieces. We show you all bonuses for all sets and each specialization. The images used are from data mining by wowhead.
The set bonuses are current as of 07.03.2022 – but they will be regularly adjusted by Blizzard to ensure better balance.
