Tier 1 sets by class

Every set below is in the WoW Forever game client and in no form in the Classic Era client. The role comes from how the client names each set’s bonuses; every set has six pieces, shown by slot because the client does not have their names yet. Bonuses list how many pieces you need.

Why do some classes have more sets than others?

Forever gives each role its own set instead of one set per class. Druids can heal, tank, and deal melee or spell damage, so they get four sets; paladins and shamans get three, and priests and warriors two. Hunters, mages, rogues and warlocks have one role and one set. Most bonuses follow the same pattern: the 2-piece bonus raises a stat (hit, haste, Spirit or Defense), the 3-piece bonus improves a utility ability, the 4-piece bonus adds power, often against one creature type, and the 5-piece bonus improves a key ability of that role.

Paladin 3 Holy, Protection, Retribution
Shaman 3 Restoration, Enhancement, Elemental

New PvP sets

Paladins and shamans can now be played on both factions, so the client has PvP sets that never existed before: Horde paladin sets (Champion’s and Warlord’s) and Alliance shaman sets (Lieutenant Commander’s and Field Marshal’s). Champion’s and Lieutenant Commander’s sets are rare (item level 60, level 55 to wear); Warlord’s and Field Marshal’s sets are epic (item level 65, level 60). The client also renumbers 16 other PvP sets, such as Champion’s Investiture for priests, that the Classic Era client already has; they are not listed here. Blizzard has announced PvP updates after launch, but not how these sets will be earned.
