Am i the only 1 that finds the set bonys totally stupid?

Comment by 11660

This set just kind of sucks overall. Compare the Primalstrike vest, 27 agi, 39 stam, 100 ap, to the Tunic of Assassination, 28 agi, 21 stam, 54 ap, 2 red sockets and a blue socket. It hardly seems worth all the Primal Might and Nether to make it. Especially considering it has no sockets when the Dragonscale and Tribal sets do, along with every other specialized crafted epic set - such as the 3 Tailoring sets and the Armorsmithing chestpiece (which may only be one piece but can be upgraded like the various Weaponsmithing epics).

Look at it this way...
4/5 Assassination and this 3 piece set.

Combat Spec FTW. Just need boots. Sad times.

The 3 piece bonus is horrible for Rogues however.

Comment by Morghus

This set looks made to be a hybrid between rogue and druid. There's a huge AP bonus to it, decent armor, agility and stamina, as well as the setbonus giving druids that extra push they need to even it a bit.
Dps-wise this set is quite possibly the best a druid can get for direct damage, assuming you have all three, and get the setbonus. For this, I refer to Emmerald's calculations for druid feral gear on, which has not yet added the set-bonus: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=104460524&sid=1&pageNo=1

The total cost for this entire set is as follows:

18 - Heavy Knothide Leather - http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=23793
14 - Primal Might - http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=23571
3 - Primal Nether - http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=23572

The set is pretty good for combat rogues and feral druids, as have been mentioned before.
It's a bit sad that they don't have any gemslots at all and I hope Blizzard will look into it soon.

kinky pants. thats why my rouge will NEVER have this set

Is it just me, or did Feral Druid's get shafted here? Really now, since druids get 1str=2ap, it really would be nice to see a separate set for Feral Druids that stacked Strength instead.

I also looked at this right after looking at the Feral Druid PvP set, with +healing (cause you know Feral druids use that ALL the time). What a dissappointment.

Comment by Vandoran

This is an amazing set for both rogues and ferals. I am going to get this set with 4 pieces of dungeon 3 set (wastewalker), that would be a huge buff for my drood + procc chance to increase AP by 160! I think ill keep it together with tier 4 set as well.

I hope you agree with me!

Making the full set requires:

12 Heavy Knothide Leather (60 Knothide Leather)
14 Primal Might (14 of each primal)
3 Primal Nethers

Just to make some actual comparisons for this as a rogue set:

Dunewind Sash - 2 sockets, 21 agil, 50 AP, 16 stam - blue heroic drop.
Although you wouldn't socket it with 16 AP, 2 of those would end up giving you 21 agil, 82 AP and 16 stam. You're basically losing 16 stam by going with this intead. Considering that it's blue and it's basically free, I don't see how primalstrike belt compares to that.

Shard-bound Bracers - 1 socket, 20 agil, 42 AP - Ogri'la Rep Reward.
Primalstrike has 22 more AP but 5 less agil if you leave out the gem. Put a talasite in there for 12 AP and 6 stam and you end up trading 10 AP for 5 agil. Basically, this easily aquired rep-reward is equivilant and you make money grinding the rep to get it.

Chestguard of the Conniver - 39 agil, 90 AP, 22 hit - Nightbane drop.
Giving up 18 AP for 10 hit hating if you take this. I'd say they're almost the same in DPS.

The only redeeming factor is the 40 extra AP from the set bonus. I guess it's also nice that it doesn't really interfere with other sets other than the chest.

For a rogue, this set is basically equivilent to what you would get from Karazhan and heroics. Considering the cost of the set and getting to 375 leatherworking, I'm not really sure it's worth it. Compared to the other sets like tailoring or dragonscale LW, it's really lacking. Tailoring and dragonscale sets are above T4 even without the set bonus.

It took me 6 whole days to lvl my Lw from 350 to 375. I had to do a lot of instances and stuff to get reputation with factions that grant me patterns, so I could lvl easier. When I finally got there, I already had most of the mats to make the entire set instantly. Once I put that set on, I had over 1600 Ap, which made me able to begin doing Heroics. I agree with those of you who say that this is the best Rogue Stuff pre-Eye/SSC.You MAY have been able to get some Gladiator stuff instead of leveling lw, but you will need lw at 375 for alot of other stuff too....so in the end, I think its worth it. After all, Im still going after full Gladiator...

Im wondering if going for 4 pieces of gladiator (rogue or feral versions) without the chestpiece, and wearing this set. is it worth it?

Comment by ThiefMaster

German translation of this set is rather funny since it "Urinstinkt" would mean "urine smells", when written like "Urin stinkt"

Comment by 61232

Some rogues at the beginning-raid level have been know to pair this set with (parts of) the Fel Skin set. No pieces overlap, and the Hit Rating on those items complements Primal Intent pretty well - not to mention all the red/yellow gem slots that can also be slotted for more Hit/Crit/AP to suit your needs at the time.

The Fel Skin set really lacks Stamina, though, so some may say that you'd be better off using Wastewalker Armor. However, the fact that Fel Skin is craftable (and the mats are reasonable) means that Fel Skin is easy to obtain without having to grind Heroics and hope for an equipment drop.

This is truly a great rogue set for rogues starting to raid. Depending on how good your guild/server is you will keep this for a long time, maybe not all 3 pieces but you´ll definately keep some. This set can carry you through the first couple raids Kara, Gruuls, maybe Mags if your other pieces can make up or haven´t had better ones to drop at this point. For fresh 70s these mats will hurt yer pockets

The patterns for this set are no longer available as of Patch 4.0. They were previously available only from the now-removed Elemental Leatherworking trainers.
