has anyone read if there's a plan to retroactively adjust the season 1 and season 2 gloves to have the same equip bonuses as season 3?

i know they did this one time with warlocks... i'm thinking about buying the season 2 healing gloves, but dont want to if i'm not going to get the 3 sec CD equip bonus...

anyone know?

Thanks for the question and answer. I wondered myself -- but I am glad to have this season's gloves and the extension on my fire blast range.

Since you're here, can you evaluate the hunter glove bonus? 5% more Multi Shot damage isn't really comparable to the glove bonuses that other classes have.

At least some classes have incentive to buy the season 3 gloves. Hunter gloves went from 4% additional damage on MS to 5%. So now your 2,000 multi shot crit will be 2,020.

QFT, you all can keep that nonsense with polymorph, I for one am going to buy the S2 gloves as they have a USEFULL equip bonus.

Seeing as there's a heal on our CC, there's diminishing returns to the point of immunity, and everyone and their mother has a trinket to get out of every CC now, I'm with you :-)

Oh, and the new 4 piece bonus for our arena set is Polymorph based too.

Thanks for the quick answer... though in my case, i'd be happier if they WERE being changed. Oh well... heh.

We have no plans to do this anytime soon, or even moderately later. I'd purchase the season 2 gloves and sleep easy.

Hey, btw, pretty sure we were told by Kalgan that since you can't stack the 2 piece bonuses of other sets in 2.3 they would change the 4 piece bonuses so that people would want those over 35 more resilience. Looking at the sets, this is clearly not the case...


Oh, and to the OP, not the case for the priest class. 3 seconds off a 30 second cooldown spell that will be read "immune" more next patch than ever before in a pvp environment is a downright embarassment. Of course, Blizz has shown time and again they don't know what they're doing with the priest class, so this isn't surprising.

Why don't they just do something universally good with the 4 piece arena set bonuses? Something like "15% chance to be immune to CC/Silences/Stuns" or something?



Which also reminds me come to think of it, why are all the set bonuses both with pvp and pve armor so out of whack with this expansion? Most aren't good, and you'd think the 4 piece bonus would be vastly superior to a 2 piece, but I can't think of any cases this is the case...

ooo ooo don't forget the shadow bonus where they fix resilience affecting the kickback of death and then give a 10% reduction to death kickback. A priest with a large amount of resilience going into season 3 should see a net gain of about 2% kickback WITH the glove bonus after the fix.

Prrreeeety sweeeeet

For those of you that look at the priest forums, the fact that nearly every shadowpriest says they will buy the holy gloves over the shadow ones says it all... And that's even taking into account the whole great fear ward caper.

That's crap... =/

Any chance that any of the glove bonuses will be changed before release? The new shadow priest (Satin) glove bonus is terrible enough that there's a consensus that shadow priests would get more use out of the Mooncloth gloves. This isn't any sort of exaggeration; if you look at the two items, and consider how +healing now grants +damage, it's really very clearly the right call. To me, it doesn't seem correct that the optimal setup is four pieces of Satin and one piece of Mooncloth. Is anyone looking into this?

why?

when Tier 3 came out did they buff Tier 2 or Tier 1?
