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

The War Within Season 2 Hunter Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Hunter 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.
Beast Mastery
- (2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that fires a Barbed Shot at 200% effectiveness. Casting Bestial Wrath always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! infuses your pet with a mutagen, causing its auto-attacks to deal Nature damage to its target and up to 5 enemies within 10 yd for 10 seconds. Mutagenic attacks reduce the cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 1 seconds.
Marksmanship
- (2) Set Bonus: Your damaging spells have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that increases your auto shot damage by 600% and reduces the time between auto shots by 2 seconds for 10 seconds. Casting Trueshot always hits a Jackpot!
- (4) Set Bonus: Consuming Lock and Load also fires an Explosive Shot at 200% effectiveness.
Survival
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of your Wildfire Bomb by 3%, stacking up to 6 times. Wildfire Bomb has a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: When your Winning Streak! ends, your next Kill Command deals 200% additional damage and generates 3 stacks of Tip of the Spear.
And that covers all of the new Hunter 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.
