Transmog removes set bonuses

[NexusWoW]

As title suggests, applying a transmog to an item makes its set bonus attributes not work. repeatable, simply have two items that create a 2 set bonus, and transmog one of the items.

@Rochet2 have you ever had this issue with transmog system?

[Rochet2]

Never confirmed to be true.
What actually happens is that tooltips dont show the set bonuses properly since we fake that we have another item equipped. People do not actually test if the bonus itself is applied, they just see in the tooltip the visual bug of set bonus not applying.
Even though the client says the set bonus is not active, the core still should properly handle applying the set bonus. This means that spells will proc and stats are there.

Please actually confirm with the stats and procs instead of relying on the tooltips.
If the stats are missing then it is an issue somewhere. Otherwise its just a visual bug in the tooltip system we cannot properly avoid without client side edits (like patches or addons)

What kind of client side edits?

[ZeegCL]

A quick check of the auras should show if the set bonus is applied or not

Let's say you make an addon. Transmog module sets fake equipment. You can send real equipment through addon messages from the server to the addon and overwrite tooltips based on that.

U can see bonus are working on the item inside the bag.

by the way, how to do an aura checking ?

Try .list aura
it should list all auras on you.
Maybe before testing you should (on a test character, not real player) do .unaura all
this should remove all talent auras and such so the aura list will be smaller.

[BarbzYHOOL]

yeah these command names are freakingly stupid

".list aura"
".unaura all"

why not ".aura list" ".aura remove all" :(

[arnaucastellvi]

The reverse is also true.
Transmog activate the bonuses of the item you transmodify.

If this is working as intended, at least put a note on the transmog NPC dialogue to explain this is normal behavior instead of having people guessing? idk just an idea.
