Azerite reforging

This isn’t really mage specific but how freaking annoying is azerite reforging?! I raid as frost and pvp as fire so I can’t even use my 400+ azerite gear in pvp because i’d have to be paying for reforges every single time… why not just allow say a 1000g reforge cost to permanently be able to toggle your traits in a rested area or something… doubling every reforge pretty much only lets you go back and forth a couple of times before its stupidly expensive.

For a game that went from a single spec to duel spec to complete freedom with spec and talents without cost its extremely contrived to enforce such a system on players to corner them into playing only one spec efficiently.

I’m forced now to try farm out a “pvp azerite” set that will be much lower item level than my pve set and will also be very difficult to obtain considering there is no pvp vendors and they timegate you with the weekly conquest reward, guess I won’t try push rating for a few weeks until the game spoonfeeds me the gear in its own time.

I have heard it was a design decision made by Blizzard to basically have to farm different sets for different spec. It was a bad decision that not many are happy with. Listening to several youtubers talk about this topic I have heard different solutions on the matter. The best one I have heard is that the traits can be setup like you setup gear sets in the character panel. Of course you run into the situation where you get a piece of azerite gear that does not have the best trait for every one of your setups.

The azerite system is going to change in 8.2. How much of a change is still yet to be determined.

Of course all you’re really doing here is ranting about issues that Ion has already talked about in previous Q&As.

It has been said the power will all go to the artifact necklace. Let’s hope this doesn’t suck.
