WoW Forever: New and Changed Set Bonuses

Set bonuses have changed a lot in World of Warcraft: Forever. Some old bonuses were removed and replaced with new ones, and the dungeon sets had their whole bonus structure reworked — there are now five thresholds instead of four.

This comes from datamining. Until Forever launches, any of these bonuses may still change or never make it into the game. Some names in the data are still internal placeholders — those are marked separately.

Sets that aren't tied to a specific class.

These are the Tier 0 sets and their upgraded Tier 0.5 versions. The main change is the bonus structure: instead of the old 2/4/6/8-piece setup, there are now five thresholds — 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 pieces. Because of this, some old bonuses moved to a different piece count, and the 8-piece bonuses were removed entirely.

These are the new Tier 1 sets. Judging by the data, they come from the Hyjal raid — the same one the previously datamined raid tier set models are tied to.

The most interesting part is that each class gets separate sets for different roles. Warriors, for example, have Arms and Fury bonuses split from the Protection tank bonuses. Rather than dynamic bonuses that change with your specialization, as in modern WoW, these appear to be fully separate items — modeled on the tier sets of The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.

All of these sets are new, so none of them have removed bonuses.
