Goodbye DoH/DoL old AFs

[BobbinT]

With the introduction of Artisan and Forager gears in 2.4, think this would effectively replace all DoH/DoL gear we've been building so hard from scratch.

Good news is:
More armoury space saving. Each DoH/DoLs are now represented in just one gear set.
And for you fresh crafter/gatherer, you'll save the hassle of making each DoH/DoL old gear set.

Bad news:
Now you don't feel very distinctive on each DoH/DoL classes. Each set kinda has cool looking style. Now we kinda have to stare on just one set from now on, but only until you need to craft those new 4* recipes.
Also, all your hard working meldings feels wasted since you might no longer see the use of keeping them around aside for vanities. Plus there's that never-ending space issues.

There's just one thing I notice that's kinda questionable:
The preliminary patch 2.4 notes kinda doesn't list the body gear equivalent of DoH/DoL. Does this mean we can still keep using them for time being?
Or the prelim notes kinda missed this part??
Or... I just mis-read it? lol

Overall, what do you guys think?

I usually only switch to a gear set to make something, not for looks
So im personally happy I can replace them all with one set fits all.
More than a welcome change IMO

Also the prelim notes don't have everything in it, as some have pointed out in other posts, some additions comin aren't in the notes, so no doubt will be added with full

The notes did list a Forager's Vest, but no artisan equivalent. I'm leaning towards the idea that the we get to keep or DoH body piece, simply because I used all my gold dye on them and don't want to just throw em away now. :P

I really liked the look of some of the AF sets, like weaver or carpenter, but hated others, like leatherworker or blacksmith, so I'm neutral on this until we get to see what the artisan gear itself looks like.

I'd just like to know if the artisan/forager gear is untradeable or not. that's all.

Glamour is your best friend. Could glamour it to look like old sets which I still really love.

I'm sure this is less problematic for DoL set which only has 3. DoH on the other hand, has 8, and all of them IMO have cool designs. :?

Glamor is your best friend. Could glamour it to look like old sets which I still really love.

Unfortunately, each item can only have one glamor. If you glamor weaver body onto new i70 body, only weaver will get the benefit; all others will look like the new i70 item because they can't wear weaver (so can't be seen in the glamor'd item).

I would be surprised if the gear is untradable. I will be glad to have only one set but will miss some of the old sets. I would assume as a crafter we can make and sell these sets. What concerns me is that they are i60. The i70 beast tribe gloves have the same stats as a full melded i55 set. The only way it would be better as I look at it is if we can meld them. The i70 off hand looks to be a big change, same as going from the i55 main to the i70 main. I hope to see the patch notes soon and if they have gear stats though I am guessing we get to wait on that. I have looked at 4 star crafting. I am still guessing from patch 2.2 that the new numbers will be around 800 progress or higher and 9000 quality. I guessed this from how 1 star, 2 star and 3 star increased. I hope I am wrong on the progress number as that will not be fun unless there is a lot more CP added and inner quiet stacks are upped.

oh... that news to me. Kinda sucks though. Kinda wish at least that ALC body can be used for all DoH class. oh well... ^^;
