The dev team recently shared all of the new upcoming class sets for World of Warcraft The War Within Season 2. It seems that Blizzard wants to share them to the community as soon as possible so feedback can be provided to ensure that not only do the new Tier Sets are appropriate for each class' identity but also making it powerful enought to compete with the other sets.
Having that in mind, we will go over the proposed new Death Knight Class Sets to see whether the new design philosophy will befit all of the Death Knight specializations.

The War Within Season 2 DK Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Death Knight class sets coming to Season 2 of The War Within.
In The War Within Season 2 Class Sets will have their 2-piece set bonus designs split by role (Healer, Tank, Ranged damage, Melee damage) and their 4-piece set bonus designs split by spec. We wil utilize unique keywords for each role in their 2-piece sets and then modify how each spec interacts with the keyword in their 4-piec set. These keywords will be tied thematically to our upcoming raid – Liberation of Undermine.
Blood
- (2) Set Bonus: Each time you take damage you have a chance to activate Luck of the Draw! causing you to cast Icebound Fortitude for 4 seconds. Your damage done is increased by 15% for 8 seconds after Luck of the Draw! activates.
- (4) Set Bonus: Luck of the Draw! has a 2 seconds increased duration. While Luck of the Draw! is active, Death Strike costs 2 less Runic Power and can strike up to 2 additional nearby enemies.
Frost
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Frost Strike and Glacial Advance by 2%, stacking up to 5 times. Obliterate has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: Winning Streak! stacks 3 additional times. While on a Winning Streak!, your Frost Strike and Glacial Advance have a chance to cast Frostscythe at 50% effectiveness. Frostscythe now also benefits from Winning Streak!
Unholy
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Death Coil and Epidemic by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Death Coil and Epidemic have a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: Casting Dark Transformation grants up to 10 stacks of Winning Streak! and while Dark Transformation is active the effectiveness of Winning Streak! is increased by 100% and no longer has a chance to reset.
And that covers all of the new Death Knight Class Sets for Season 2 of The War Within. Although these bonuses are not final, it seems that Blizzard is going for an RNG-based mechanic which is goes hand in hand with the new Goblin-centered raid and content. You can check out the official post, here.
