Season 3 and Patch 11.2 of The War Within is upon us, and with it brand new tier sets, however, Blizzard is shaking things up again with the release of the Manaforge Omega raid tier set bonuses.
The Season 3 Tier Set bonuses (from Manaforge Omega, Mythic+ and the Matrix Catalyst) will now affect hero talents instead of individual specializations, this means depending on which Hero Talent Tree you are playing with, the Tier Set Bonus will change accordingly. The list below breaks all of the available Season 3 Tier Sets by the Class and Hero Talent, outlining their respective bonus for equipping 2 or 4 of the same Tier Set items.
