WIll T7 model sets be released before WoTlK? and if so will there be a S4 counter part? And if there is a S4 counter part would this make S2 buyable with honor, and S3 require no rating? Or will they just have s4 with no new armor and weapons?

shadowpriests are pissed man.


Yeah, well I seem to suffer from Foot in Mouth disease. It won't matter much once Wrath beta hits, I'll just look like a fool. I'm ok with that, and so is my shadow priest.

Q u o t e:
So S2 will NOT be purchasable for honor, come S4.


I said yes, it will be purchasable for honor. And Season 1 goes bye bye.

So tell me, then. If the season 3 shoulder still requre rating to get when season 4 hits. What's the point of getting the season 3 shoulders at all when the person who gets 2000 rating can just buy the season 4 shoulders?


Rating requirements for Season 3 stay, but will be lowered.

Q u o t e:
Yo Drysc, why can't S1 and S2 both be available? why does one have to replace the other?


Clarity of item purchases is a pretty big one I think, you wouldn't believe how many people buy the wrong thing already. Double the sets, and we have in-game support nightmares.

There's really no reason to keep both sets, being another reason, unless you're trying to complete a set for visual appeal. That's not a chief concern in regards to PvP set availability though, it is in general an area of the game where stats are the primary drive.
