ST looking crazy but at the same time it's nice to finally see ele actually at the top when it comes to raiding.Comment by Fera1yHi, according to the sims linked in the doc, the season 2 feral sims were simmed without Apex Predator (which is required for the season 2 tier to function)!Comment by Nyk21Thanks for that, really clear ! I was looking for this kind of file <3Comment by sx777One spec gets +27% dps from replacing 4p undermine with 4p omega, the other loses 4%? Either there are huge miscalculations in these sims, or the balance is basically non-existent. I really hope it's the former.Comment by EtamalgrenMan, EC Guardian Druids get absolutely SHAFTED by the new tier set...

:(Comment by KelemardamusOf note, the Season 2 tier sims assume an item level of 684 in tier slots while the Season 3 tier sims assume an item level of 710, which muddies the value of the set bonus when considering there’s also a huge bump to stats. In the example I looked at (Marksmanship / Dark Ranger) the 2pc/2pc split added in head and shoulders, the complete 4pc added chest and legs.
I get that these concepts don’t exist in silos and new season gear will always be higher item level, but the language used in the post initially made me think this was a discussion of just the impact of the different set bonuses alone, and it would appear that the truth of the matter is exactly the opposite.Comment by OrgrukAt first didn't nderstand why Fury Thane was siming so poorly facing Fury Slayer, I had to look at the SimC conditions to understand my guessings were right : it's just a single target simulation. This should be stated in the article.

The % gain is for the PI gain and not for the gain from 0pc to 2pc.
So do not judge who should get tier based on this.Comment by McitraAfter all this years in this game, i am still just stunned that they release tier sets with this much difference in damage increase. The balance team must be drinking some special brew because they are so lostComment by FlanellLol outlol set does exactly 0 dmg for me because I dont play with stupid Ghostly Strike. So i can just go with whatever item has vers/crit on it.
