It's Tier-10 Time

Patch 3.3 is coming, and along with it, Tier-10. I posted a preveiw image of the set here. Now for the items and stats...

What we're looking at is the Frost Witch's Garb.

What's most interesting are the shoulders. Looking at those, we find Call of the Shoveltusk -- Periodically calls forth the spirits of the Shoveltusk to bolster the bearer's spirits in battle. What that does, nobody seems to know. At this point, I'd guess it's just visual. But that's just speculation.


Our bonuses look like this:

2-Piece -- Your Riptide spell grants 20% spell haste for your next spellcast within 10 sec.

At first, you see haste, and you get optimistic. But then you ask yourself, "Self, when will I ever use it?" Unfortunately, this isn't something you can change your "rotation" over (as the designers have said they intended). It is only incidental. You can't use it to set up another heal, or you'll just be adding a cooldown to an already pre-hasted cast. So, it's nothing to get too excited about.

4-Piece -- Your Chain Heal critical strikes cause the target to heal for 25% of the healed amount over 9 sec.

This appears to add a Heal over Time (HoT) effect to the target of your critical Chain Heal. It's a free heal, so I won't complain. Nothing earth-shattering, though.
