One of these days I'll stick with a high level character long enough to do some serious raiding

This new instance sure whets the appetite

[Pesmerga]

A new 5 piece set for each class?!?! Dammit, and I was almost done my first set...

::goes and buys more bags::

I wonder if it's epic or blue item set. Hmm...

Hard to say, but given it's placing in the end game content scheme, I'd say it's either going to be a tier-1 epic equivalent, or a blue set a little better than the class blues, like Devout, or Dreadmist.

Maybe an actual feral set for druids? Maybe? :) I doubt it, but maybe. Otherwise I will be trying to complete shadowcraft for my feral, especially with the new patch changes. :)

Blizzard has said that though they want it better than current blues, they don't want it to be at the same level as the tier-1 sets. They're aiming for in between the best blues (and those are not set blues!) and tier-1 epics. I wouldn't be suprised if some sets ended up weaker than blues while others ended up stronger than the epics.\

Late Edit: post by Caydiem -

I will say that it appears the slots for the sets will be slightly different from the norm. That's all. :)

Highly scripted boss encounters unlike any you've experienced before!

It'll be interesting to see what they do here.

[MongoJerry]

So, who's up for five-manning it?

[lemekim]

Interesting... Different slots from usual? Assuming 8 piece set is "usual", that leaves us with cape, necklace, 2 rings, 2 trinket spots, and more importantly, weapon slots. Probably level 58 or so epics (As opposed to tier 1 epic sets, which really are more like level 65 epics). There is already a trinket set, so I'm guessing it will include necklace, cape, ring, mainhand and offhand.

[Zarathustra]

The usual class sets neglect jewelry and trinket slots, so those would be my first guess. I'd love to see a set cloak, though.

Or maybe... just MAYBE, the classes that are without a ranged-slot item could get a custom trinket to be equipped there.

[Raven Vale]

I read over on the forums that one of the Devs had hinted at Trinkets/jewellery may be part of the set .

[oldmandennis]

There is already a set with a cloak: Escandar's or some such. It is a very odd set, with two fist weapons with very quick speed, and the set bonus is a chance to summon a tiger to fight for you.

There's a two trinket set, too, but still it's unusual to have cloaks, trinkets, jewelry, and weapons involved in a set.
