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 Rogue Class Sets to see whether the new design philosophy will befit all of the Rogue specializations.

The War Within Season 2 Rogue Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Rogue 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.
Assassination
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Envenom, Rupture, and Crimson Tempest by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Envenom, Rupture, and Crimson Tempest has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: When you would lose Winning Streak!, you have a chance to instead gain maximum stacks of Winning Streak for 4 seconds. These cannot be removed and have 30% additional effect while immune to removal.
Outlaw
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Dispatch by 6%, stacking up to 5 times. Dispatch has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: Roll the Bones has a 12% increased chance of granting additional combat enhancements and also applies 1 stack of Winning Streak! for each combat enhancement granted. Stacks applied by Roll the Bones can exceed the normal Winning Streak! maximum 5.
Subtlety
- (2) Set: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Eviscerate, Secret Technique, and Black Powder by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Eviscerate, Secret Technique, and Black Powder have a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set: While Shadow Dance is active, you cannot lose Winning Streak!, gain an additional stack of Winning Streak! each time you would gain one, and deal an additional 6% Shadow damage per Winning Streak! stack.
And that covers all of the new Rogue 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.
