Brood of Nozdormu

Anyone notice that in all the negativity?  I thought there would at least be some discussion of that, but apparently free upgrades for very good items for some rep that you'll be gaining while working on your Tier 3 set is entirely unwanted.[right][snapback]100896[/snapback][/right]

Ignoring your hyperbole, it's perfectly valid to complain about something without first having to balance it out with praise. Someone else has already pointed out that these aren't tier 3 sets; the Oracle set is, finally, a shadow-priest oriented set, and as such is very nice. It is also obscenely hard to collect, which is fine, but still stuffs over any shadow priest who isn't in the toppest of top-end raiding guilds.

Note that I'm not saying that epics should rain down from the sky; people will still have to grind to neutral rep with nozdormu before they get their "free" crappy epic ring, although by all accounts this isn't that hard. However for all the ring improves - and Blizzard has used the term "reward" repeatedly to suggest there is supposed to be some benefit - they might as well have saved themselves the development time and not bothered, because the improvements are so marginal there's no feeling of progression for all that rep ground.

And I'm fed up of rep grinds. Zandalar, timbermaw, nozdormu... get some initiative, already.

I'm hoping the new armor sets they're talking about introducing in 1.10 will include a slightly more damage-oriented priest set; we already have prophecy for regen and transcendence for +healing, and since the tier 0 sets aren't class-bound you can mix and match those sets already.
