The World of Warcraft: The War Within Collector's Edition is Missing One Major Perk

Why Now is The Perfect Time to Start Playing World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft Fan Discovers New Map Feature in The War Within

Highlights

Class Sets in World of Warcraft endgame offer powerful bonuses when collecting 2 or 4 pieces.
Set bonuses for each class focus on core mechanics rather than endgame talents.
Players can test Class Set bonuses in The War Within beta by trading tokens or upgrading gear.

World of Warcraft just revealed all the tier set bonuses fans can find on their Class Sets in The War Within. These powerful synergies will be added to World of Warcraft in the next expansion, but will be available for testing in The War Within beta soon.

Class Sets are an iconic part of the World of Warcraft endgame experience. This class-specific gear not only looks stylish, but also includes potent extra effects for players who collect two or four pieces of the set. World of Warcraft temporarily retired these sets in Battle for Azeroth, but brought them back in WoW: Shadowlands Patch 10.2, and again for every raid season in Dragonflight.

The World of Warcraft: The War Within Collector's Edition is Missing One Major Perk

Though the World of Warcraft: The War Within Collector's Edition is a must-have for diehard fans, it doesn't include one perk from the Epic Edition.

Now, World of Warcraft has revealed the set bonuses for the Class Sets fans will find in The War Within Season 1. Players will be able to obtain these pieces of gear by trading in tokens obtained from the Nerub’ar Palace raid, or by upgrading their existing gear via Catalyst charges awarded periodically by completing other game tasks. However, fans will have the opportunity to test out these sets soon, as they are planned to go live in the World of Warcraft: The War Within’s beta during its second build.

In the forum post where WoW community manager Kaivax shared these Class Set bonuses, he also went into detail about the design philosophy behind them. Because of the complexity coming with the Hero Talents system in The War Within, the set bonuses themselves are relatively simple. World of Warcraft is hoping to let the Hero Talents and class changes shine, with the Class Set bonuses as a light supplement to them.

One of World of Warcraft's biggest concerns with making these set bonuses is to avoid forcing each specialization to pick a particular Hero Talent tree. This means most of The War Within Season 1’s tier set bonuses buff each specialization’s core mechanics, rather than endgame talents or optional abilities. Sets in future raid seasons of The War Within will likely increase the complexity of these synergies, but with the goal of keeping every Hero Talent viable in the process, so that, ideally, no World of Warcraft class is better than the others.

Once this gear is added to the test realms, players lucky enough to be chosen for the WoW: The War Within beta will be able to obtain a full set from Setzertauren in Orgrimmar or Stormwind. From there, they can provide feedback about the value of the set bonuses, how useful they are in different situations, or if there are any bugs with them, using the in-game interface, or on the forums themselves.
