It’s always a tricky situation when aWorld of Warcraftseason releases. Gear you worked hard to earn just a season ago suddenly feels less powerful. On the other hand, brand-new season gear provides immediate upgrades to both damage and survivability. With how powerful tier sets are, I feel it’s often a balancing act to know when to make the change. This guide is to help you figure out when to swap from Season 2 Tier Set to Season 3 Tier Set in WoW 10.2 based on your class.
Is it worth keeping your old Season 2 Tier set?
In my opinion, it’s definitely worth keeping your old set. In some cases, the four-piece set bonuses even outlast the new Season 3 two-piece set bonuses, meaning you can use your old Tier Set until you completely replace it with new gear. Of course, this will also depend on the Item Level. For example, a Mythic quality Season 3 Tier Set is going to be better than anything from the last tier regardless of Set bonuses.
When should your class switch sets and break your old bonuses?
You will notice that for most classes and specs, it’s worthwhile to switch to your new Season 3 Tier Set as soon as you have at least two pieces. However, there are some specs that have a very powerful Season 2 Tier Set, so it’s worthwhile keeping until you complete the full four-piece set of Season 3.
Knowing when to swap from Season 2 Tier Set to Season 3 Tier Set inWoW10.2 will make life easier in terms of gearing. I think now that you know which class and spec can switch when, you should have an easier time planning out your gear acquisition in the new season.
