In World of Warcraft, tier sets have always been a major draw for players, offering unique skins and benefits. With the release of the War Within expansion (11.0 patch), the Nerub’Ar Palace continues this tradition. Each armor set in the NP raid features unique designs that capture the spirit of that class with some new accents and ideas (surprisingly, very few of them resemble arachnids or spider webs).
In this article, we’ll provide a detailed list of WoW The War Within 11.0 tier sets for all classes, explain the set bonuses, and share our thoughts on their appearances.
Nerub’Ar Palace Tier Sets Overview
In Nerub’Ar Palace, the first raid of The War Within expansion, each class and specialization has its own armor set. The community is always anticipating the introduction of each new PvE tier because, on the one hand, some of them look epic (dozens of the best Blizzard designers work hard to create them, and sometimes they succeed, introducing true masterpieces like Paladin’s T2), and on the other hand they offer must-have enhancements for your character.
These sets offer special bonuses when you equip 2 or 4 pieces. We’ll tell more about each of them below.
Same as before, TWW Season 1 gear also automatically adjusts its bonuses when you switch between specializations within the same class.

Raid Finder
The Death Knight armor set, Exhumed Centurion’s Relics, features distinctive, menacing designs across all its recolors. It includes a skull-like mask and large spines tipped with crystals, emanating from the top and sides of the helmet and shoulders. These spines frame a menacing skull resembling the head of Zovaal’s Soul Eater, embedded within the shoulders. The gauntlets also feature spines, though they lack the crystal embellishments found elsewhere on the armor.
Color schemes vary by difficulty:
The Mythic version uses a bold gold-and-red theme, giving it a regal yet fierce look.
The Heroic set is rendered in purple-metal tones, offering a darker, more enigmatic appearance.
The Normal recolor uses a blue-and-metal scheme, giving it a stark, formidable look.
Lastly, the Raid Finder (LFR) version features a unique Tiffany Blue and bronze color scheme, standing out with its lighter, more ethereal feel.
