Does that mean we will be able to get two domination socket set bonuses?edit: For clarification - legs + 2 frost gems give set bonus meaning you still have 3 free gem slots
so counterintuitive
I guess I'm just dumb, but I really don't understand what this change accomplishes. Why is it important that raid legs activate a set bonus if all gear can now activate set bonuses?
The domination socket gear from Korthia don't have any set bonuses on them, pretty lame.
This is wildly unintuitive, I really feel for players coming into the game fresh.It does not count as a gem, people saying that are incorrect and the news post here should really use a different image to clarify that. The image looks like that because it was taken from a character that has a frost shard equipped already.
The image is slightly misleading, but the functionality is really no different to any other domination piece. A piece with an open slot also doesn't count, or a piece with another type of gem. They probably just need the piece of gear to unlock the bonus on a technical level.
Sadly no, you still need 3 sockets filled with frost for the frost bonus. It's just implying if you have 3 other sockets open, but not the actual frost piece you need to get the frost bonus. I messed up and took the legs in my vault reward to find out the hard way.
The gear from the Death's Advance vendor didn't get the set bonuses, is this on purpose?
SoD Legs... Well unless SV hunters (in M+ at least) and other specs that use LEgs for their top Leggo, why bother using that one in first place? People are already avoiding their Domination Socket slots and crafting leggos in the others.
Greater flexibility and forgiveness in acquiring the specific set bonus you're after. You'll most likely want all 3 set shards + 2 dps shards in the long run. But if you've had @#$% luck acquiring the main set item, you now have a stop gap.
A fix at another failed attempt in bringing tier sets back. Just give us the class tier sets back and be done with it.
For players who already have their set, they will likely no be looking to use these pants as there's no Domination socket on themYou forgot a T there.
Good thing it's the head I'm still missing but I got a belt so I can activate unholy if I want to now finally, but if it was blood this would do nothing as I got both of my legendaries in the cloth pants slot, why on earth aren't they just making it so any of the 5 pieces of dom gear can active all 3 bonus' which would have made so much more sense.
It is a dumb system at the first place. The more fix, the more weird it feel. God!
BIS set, no leech/speed - i'll take it. Waiting for 2 bosses to drop your item in the reduced drop expansion for your BIS set means a lot more than some non dps trait to activate the set. Especially if that non dps trait is not going to be a life saver.
