(*Psst* Wrath of the Wastes !) Psst! For this first PTR, we've left out the Wrath of the Wastes (Barbarian) set as it's still receiving iteration. While you're welcome to test it out in its current state, we’re not yet looking for feedback on it and you should expect changes in a future PTR patch. | ||

Does this mean the other two sets are intended to be in the PTR? Yes; I've been seeing a lot of reports that they aren't dropping and I'm looking into that this morning. Great feedback so far guys; keep it up! I'm taking my time going through all of it! | ||

| Really loving the huge amount of constructive and well-stated feedback in here. This has been a huge boon. To keep it succinct: thank you so much! There's a few changes coming down the pipeline for the next PTR patch that we thought you should know in case you would like to take it into account when providing your feedback:
There's a number of other changes coming to various sets and legendaries that are meant as complimentary to sets, but I want to avoid this post getting too patch-note-esque. We'll be thoroughly updating the PTR Patch Notes when the next patch comes around, so please check them out once they're available! Now, back to sifting through feedback. ;) | ||

So Zuni gets pants that directly conflict with the new Zuni pants that are not actually part of the set. Can't win for losing -_- Before we get off track - try not to take the above change in a vacuum. As mentioned, there's a lot of other changes coming, I just don't have the ability to list them all right here, right now (I'd essentially be writing the patch notes, which is already being worked on by one of my colleagues). Rather than focusing on just this change, treat it as additional information when considering your feedback. And remember: Please Note: In order to facilitate focused feedback, posts in this thread that are not relevant to the topics listed above will be deleted. Please create a new thread for your concerns if they are outside the above topics. Thank you! | ||

| We decided against adding shoulders as one of the new pieces while expanding the older sets to 7 pieces. One of the reasons is because many builds do not currently have a game-changing legendary in their shoulder slot. Of course, this is exactly why people want the new set to be a shoulder item – it would make for a very easy choice. However, we want there to be some contention between your gear choices, which is why we’re looking more at slots like gloves, rings, and bracers. We are deliberately trying to create more difficult item choices while leaving some flexibility during the gear-up process. In the future, we’d like to provide more shoulder options that are strong and compelling for all classes, much like Vile Ward for Barbarian as many of you have mentioned. In a similar way Patch 2.2.0 has seen a heavy focus on powerful rings, we’d like to get some powerful shoulder pieces out there in the future. Secondly, as many of you have noticed, some of these new set pieces compete with new items we added in 2.2.0. Items that have this conflict have been shifted around, including the Immortal King’s pants becoming bracers, the Zunimassa’s pants becoming a belt, and the Natalya’s moving from gloves to belt. All that said, let’s keep this thread focused on your set feedback rather than upcoming changes. :) | ||

If you are changing these around, can you update your initial post. It is going to become confusing for everyone if you have one post saying IK 7th set is Pants and now an updated post says IK 7th set is Bracers. I will once the next patch goes out and those changes are live. :) But you do get where the frustration comes from, right? Totally. It really comes down to what I have the time to squeeze in, but I recognize when it becomes necessary, such as in this case. I wish I had about ten more hours in a day to get to it all! | ||

Thanks, but how does changing the "Zuni pants" aka Cloth of Transcendence help at all when the piece that was added to Zuni were gloves? Zunimassa's has both gloves (currently available) and new pants (coming next PTR patch). | ||

Is the cloth of transendence moving to belt, or is the new set piece going to be the belt? My apologies, it often gets me all confused too because of the way we refer to things internally. I'll try to say this as directly as possible, using Zunimassa's as an example: Compared to how it currently exists in Patch 2.1.2 on live, Zunimassa's Haunt is gaining two new pieces to the set that occupy the Gloves and Legs slots. In addition, the complimentary legendary pants we added in the first 2.2.0 PTR patch are being changed to be a belt instead. Similar changes are happening for both Natalya's and Immortal King's. I hope that's clearer! So... Does this mean we can mix and match better in the future or that we're going to be required to wear more pieces of the set to get bonuses? The amount of items needed to activate set bonuses is not changing. Providing more options to mix and match is the intent. :) | ||
