WoW: Undermined's Tier Set Changes May Harm One Of Its Strongest Systems
With season one of World of Warcraft: The War Within winding down, Blizzard has turned their attention towards the upcoming content update, Undermined. As with all large-scale content updates, Undermined will be coming with a host of fresh content, including the flashy new raid, The Liberation of Undermine, and the new bosses and loot included therein.
The standout loot of any season is always WoW's version of tier sets. Typically, tier sets have specialization specific bonuses that players can count on being their best gear option for the entirety of a new season. However, with Undermined, WoW has charted a new course for these armor sets, homogenizing the bonuses across roles with goblin-themed mechanics. Some of the luster of unique bonuses has dissipated with this announcement, and if turned into the standard tier set approach, it may harm WoW in the long run.
