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

The War Within Season 2 Warlock Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Warlock 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.
Affliction
- (2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that increases your haste by 12% for 12 seconds. Casting Summon Darkglare always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! also increases the damage of Unstable Affliction by 50% and causes Unstable Affliction to spread to up to 3 targets within 40 yds for 12 seconds.
Demonology
- (2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that summons a Dreadstalker at 165% effectiveness. Casting Summon Demonic Tyrant always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: Casting Hand of Gul’dan causes your active Dreadstalkers to cast Dreadbite at 50% effectiveness. This damage is increased by 10% for each Soul Shard spent on Hand of Gul’dan.
Destruction
- (2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that fires a flurry of 12 Demonfire bolts at 200% effectiveness. Casting Summon Infernal always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! increases your Mastery by 3% and your spells gain maximum benefit from Mastery: Chaotic Energies for 10 seconds.
And that covers all of the new Warlock 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.
