Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of No Stock UI, a new UI and wow gold 30 mins delivery addons blog for WoW. A brief look at the tier 9 sets and the origins of those who it is named after: Velen and Zabra Hexx.
We’re getting more news as the weeks go by. Last week, tier 9 information was released. As some of you may know, the upcoming Crusader’s Coliseum is slated to drop tier 9 items. All classes are getting three levels of the latest tier. I’m assuming one set drops from normal (10-man), heroic (25-man), and heroic hard mode.
Our current tier 8 bonuses feel lackluster. It’s difficult to cater towards a Holy Priest cheapest wow gold and a Disc Priest as they both favor different approaches to healing. Check out our tier 9 gallery if you’re interested in seeing the specifics along with the other set bonuses.
This is what the new bonuses are that just got released. That 2-piece bonus looks good. A spell that both healing Priests use will be getting a pretty cool buff. Make sure you use an addon like PoM tracker (although it has since been discontinued for a while).
I’m enjoying the direction that this 4-piece bonus is taking. It offers bonuses to to both Holy and Discipline Priests. The Discipline bonus is the Divine Aegis buff. The strength of the shields have increased by 10% but buy wow account don’t forget that Divine Aegis can stack. The other side of the 4-piece bonus is an effect to Empowered Renew. I’ve got some mixed feelings about this. I guess they’re offering more incentive for Empowered Renew to get picked up.
Looking at the current tier 8 for a moment, it’s obvious that the four piece bonus has Discipline written all over it. Every time a shield is cast, gain 250 spell power for 5 seconds. It’s obviously not the most ideal for Holy Priests as it’s difficult for them to shield with other Discipline Priests in the same raid group. Not to mention having a 4 second cooldown means constantly using the shield on cooldown to maintain that spell power. Doesn’t seem like the cost/benefit ratio is in its favor.
