Tier Set bonuses
have hit the PTR as part of the Shadowlands 9.2 Eternity's End content patch. Although currently untestable due to
PTR realms being unavailable
, our Warlock Guide Writers have provided their initial impressions on these tier bonuses, offering insight into the implementation, relative strength, and even some valuable feedback.
We've datamined Tier Set bonuses for all 36 specializations in the 9.2 Eternity's End PTR. Check out all the bonuses and armor models below.

First Impressions of the 9.2 Set Bonuses
Affliction Warlock Writer First Impressions
Our Warlock Writers, Xyronic (Affiliction), NotWarlock (Demonology), and Loozy (Destruction), have dissected the newly datamined tier set bonuses to give a deeper first look as to how these bonuses will likely affect their specs in Shadowlands 9.2 Eternity's End.
2-Set
-
Malvagità Intenzionale
-
Estasi Malefica
's damage is increased by 15% and each cast extends the duration of
Corruzione
,
Agonia
, and
Afflizione Instabile
by 2 sec.
4-Set
-
Crescendo Funesto
- While
Agonia
,
Corruzione
, and
Afflizione Instabile
are active, your
Risucchio d'Anima
has a 4% chance /
Dardo d'Ombra
has a 20% chance to make your next
Estasi Malefica
cost no Soul Shards and cast instantly.
The 9.2 tier set bonus for Affliction Warlock looks extremely promising at a first glance. I'm not too surprised to see it revolving around
Estasi Malefica
, considering it's the main nuke of the specialization, even though it's still significantly nerfed since its Castle Nathria days. Realistically, this set bonus won't change how Affliction plays in any significant way - on both multitarget, as well as single target, you'll still follow the same priority list of abilities. You'll just want to cast
Estasi Malefica
whenever
Crescendo Funesto
procs in order to not lose procs.
Not sure right off the bat how strong Affliction will be with the set bonus - initial impressions are pretty good, but I'm still of the opinion that affliction will struggle on single target. Maybe Affliction's tendency to scale well throughout the expansion will shine through, but we wont have a great idea of that until we see initial PTR testing.
What intigues me the most about this set bonus is that they're very synergistic -
Crescendo Funesto
gives free
Estasi Malefica
whenever you're casting your filler spell, whether it's
Risucchio d'Anima
or
Dardo d'Ombra
, and
Malvagità Intenzionale
lets you cast those filler spells more often by extending your DoTs, meaning you have to recast DoTs less often.
Malvagità Intenzionale
has pretty insane implications for multidotting scenarios; on 2 targets, you gain 10 seconds of free DoT extending every time you cast
Estasi Malefica
. Pretty wild.

2-Set
-
Strappato dal Portale
-
Richiamo Inseguitore Maligno
has a 100% chance to summon an additional Dreadstalker.
4-Set
-
Imp-Patto Maligno
- Your
Mano di Gul'dan
has a 5% chance per Soul Shard to summon a Malicious Imp. When slain, Malicious Imp grants a Soul Shard and will either deal (19% of Spell power) Fire damage to all nearby enemies of your
Implosione
or deal it to your current target.
The current implementation of both tier bonuses look to have Demonology overflowing with Soul Shards like crazy. The 4-set directly gives us a Soul Shard on every proc and the 2-set gives us an extra stack of
Nucleo Demoniaco
when the Dreadstalkers fade. Currently, we will have a large excess of Demonic Cores and Soul Shards, so it will be very tough to not overcap on either of these resources. Thankfully this doesn't really change the playstyle of Demonology outside of you feeling rushed to use all the resources available to you. There is some synergy within the tier bonus and our talents with
Sferzata del Terrore
,
Stratagemma del Maestro dei Segugi
and the conduit
Inseguitori Carnivori
, where you get extra AoE from
Sferzata del Terrore
and extra proc chances out of
Inseguitori Carnivori
and thus
Stratagemma del Maestro dei Segugi
.
In terms of relative strength, both bonuses are quite good in all situations as
Imp-Patto Maligno
gives you damage in both single target and AoE situations and you don't have to choose. There is still some speculation on if the Malicious Imp will act as a Guardian like our current Imps do, therefore contributing to
Consunzione Demoniaca
or if it won't count towards this. Some initial findings show that the abilities that the Imp cast are
Shadowflame
damage instead of
Fire
damage as the set bonus tooltip indicates, so there could be some additional interaction with
Stratagemma del Maestro dei Segugi
there as well which would have additional influence on talents.
The biggest gripe about both of these set bonuses is that they both potentially contribute additional value to
Consunzione Demoniaca
, which pushes it even further ahead of the other options in the level 50 talent tier despite
Portale Fatuo
being buffed. Overall, these set bonuses are interesting and provide enough change(s) to the spec that majority of players should be happy. There is a lot to find out still about the 4-set and how it all interacts, which will determine quite a lot of things about its strength. Things are looking pretty good however, and you should expect to wear out your
Dardo Demoniaco
key a little more with the tier equipped.

2-Set
-
Rituale della Rovina
- Casting
Pioggia di Fuoco
or
Dardo del Caos
has a 20% chance to make the next cast of the other free.
4-Set
-
Avatar della Distruzione
- When
Pioggia di Fuoco
or
Dardo del Caos
is freely cast, you summon an Infernal for 8 sec.
The 2-set bonus
Rituale della Rovina
gives you a 20% chance when casting
Dardo del Caos
or
Pioggia di Fuoco
to make the next cast of the other one free. The 4-set bonus then makes that freely cast
Dardo del Caos
or
Pioggia di Fuoco
summon an Infernal for 8 seconds. This is an interesting couple of bonuses and they play very well together. It's still very early to determine the exact strength of this bonus, as there is some speculation as to if the Infernal summoned from the 4-set will allow you to proc
Pioggia del Caos
as well. My first impression of this bonus is that it's very interesting and adds a bit more diversity to what you cast. This is going to factor into all types of content, but will for obvious reasons be significantly stronger on cleave and AoE as
Pioggia di Fuoco
and Infernals damage scale with multiple targets.
From the looks of it, this is going to be a strong bonus that is also going to make the spec a lot more fast-paced and fun to play. In the end, how strong the bonuses will be is going to come down to the uptime on the Infernal, the proc chance, and whether or not there is going to be an internal cooldown to the proc. As long as this doesn't get nerfed from the originally published numbers, I think it's going to be an interesting bonus to play with and it's going to make Destruction Warlock more fun to play.
