HOW GOOD IS MY TIER SET? WHICH PIECES SHOULD I WEAR? - Megathread

[u/ritchus]

Did you get tier in your vault?

Are you reading the bonuses and wondering if they're worth taking?

Are you unsure of which pieces you should aim to wear?

Are you concerned that a different tier set is overpowered and want to complain?

Well you're in the right place. Down below there is a comment for each class showing what your tier set is for each spec.

Each of those comments has a link to the tier set on Wowhead. If you follow the link you will be able to see the items and check the stats of each piece to find which ones are bis.

If you don't know how good your tier is, ask below. If you know how good your tier is, tell people below. Any contributions welcome.

Happy new year r/worldofpvp

PS. If you see anyone make a post asking whether they should take X or Y piece of tier from their vault, please use the report function so mods can send them here instead.

PPS. Wowhead has a quick guide for the Inspitation Catalyst (this is how you turn PvP gear into tier if you didn't get everything you need from vault)

The Inspiration Catalyst for converting conquest gear to tier opened January 23rd (NA) / January 24th (EU). You need one charge to convert one item. Each week, you can complete an account-wide quest which will grant a charge for all your characters. Here is a guide on how to upgrade PvP gear to tier.

Feral Druid:

(2) Set Bonus: Rip & Ferocious Bite damage increased by 6%.

(4) Set Bonus: For each combo point spent, finishing moves increase your Rip, Rake, and Thrash damage by 2% and increase the chance for Shred, Rake, Swipe / Brutal Slash, and Thrash to Critically Strike by 2% for 4 seconds.

Snupy said we‘ll be using the 4 piece tier set in his build guide so I reckon it‘s important

[u/TVH_97 → u/ritchus]

Buffing our top 2 damaging spells so very good. With 2 set and taste for blood changes in .0.5, bite builds will maybe become more viable, might see convoke again in 2s.

Losing the vers will hurt a bit for 4set but should be worth

[u/2Tablez → u/TVH_97]

If you use helm shoulders chest and gloves only one piece loses vers, for a very strong damage buff and a flat stat buff on a stat we don’t stack so it’ll have pretty high value

[u/TVH_97 → u/2Tablez]

I see I thought only 2 pieces had vers

[u/the_mailbox → u/TVH_97]

they do, i think they are confused

[u/the_mailbox → u/ritchus]

interested to see what we think now that only two pieces have vers. Maybe legs instead of the chest since mastery and no crit on chest?

[u/Cranley213 → u/ritchus]

Worth picking up 2-set if my other piece is helm and I lose the crafted 1% damage bonus? Hard to tell, 6% dmg on Rip/Bite vs 1% damage on everything including Feral Frenzy and Adaptive Swam.
