In leveling my classes, I was able to keep up with my gear and craft items well. But this all changed when I got to 50 on BSM and ARM. Even with HQ mats, I can't manage more than a 25% HQ chance on anything, and the big reason for this is gear.

For all DoW and DoM classes, not only do quests give you gear, but you can spend the Poetics you've gotten for enough gear to fend for yourself in HW.

This is not the case for DotH and DotL classes. When you hit 50, you have nothing but the gear you've been leveling with - 40-50 gear, plus one blue and one green 50 item from the quest.

Trying to craft HW items with that gear is rather hard. Even at 51, if you don't have HW gear, you're going to struggle, and the only way to get HW gear for DotH/DotL classes is through the MB, from friends, or by making it yourself.

What I'd like to see would be some easing on this gap, by making the level 50 crafting/gathering sets easier to acquire, or by putting NQ gear on a vendor.

Thoughts?
