Tempest III Set Bonus

[cm2_supernova]

Can someone do me a solid and confirm whether or not the extra d4 damage on the ToD set bonus for Tempest III does or does not bypass DR as the weapon you're using does?

It not passing DR is the knowledge i have. But i dont have a link to it at hand.

Yeah...I'm hearing the same stuff, if that is the case I think that is mega weak. Why make a set bonus that 90% of non-epic end game mobs and all but 2 raid bosses are immune to.

Almost all set bonuses are weak and most do not stack. The silly result that all melee classes want either the Frenzied Berserker set and/or the Shintao Monk set, and casters the Bard Warchanter set - instead of the sets for their class - kind of proves the point. The other rings are good for Exceptional ability score crafting, that's about it.

True...Ill still prolly stick with the tempest set due to some gearing issues, at least it will help out in Epic ;)
