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

The War Within Season 2 Shaman Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Shaman 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.
Elemental
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that summons a Fire Elemental for 8.0 seconds. Casting Ascendance always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: When you summon or extend your Fire Elemental, your Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Lava Burst deal 10% increased damage for 8 seconds.
Enhancement
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Stormstrike, Crash Lightning, and Lava Lash by 5%, stacking up to 5 times. Spending Maelstrom Weapon has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: When you gain a stack of Winning Streak!, reduce the cooldown of Doom Winds by 2 seconds. When Winning Streak! is removed, reduce the cooldown of Doom Winds by 10 seconds.
Restoration
- (2) Set Bonus: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them over 15 seconds. Insurance! is consumed if any ally drops below 40% health to heal them.
- (4) Set Bonus: When you cast Healing Rain, 1 ally in the radius has Insurance! applied to them. When Insurance! is consumed, your next Chain Heal, Healing Surge, or Healing Wave is increased by 10%.
And that covers all of the new Shaman 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.
