patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[Lissa]

The interesting thing is that it is not broken for everything. I know I have talked to some shaman players who feel that the tier set is very powerful for them. From what I saw, most of the "easy" equipment sets (obviously for caster DPS, healing, tanking, etc) were done fairly well. However, for things like protection paladins or feral druids where Blizzard seems a bit slow on the uptake as to what they need to be effective, you see sets that are not designed quite as well. :)

Not really, I don't know many serious DPS casters that want their Tier 4 or Tier 5 sets except for maybe one piece or two. Right now, most DPS casters would rather have tailored items or random pieces. Very few of the Tier 4 and 5 DPS caster items were setup well. There are also some Blues out there that have more effective stats, have almost the same ilvl (within 5), and yet blow away various Purple items. Itemization right now is really, really bad for all items...
