Are all the Benthic Azerite armor pieces (head, shoulders, chest) the same? Or, are there variations in each piece?
I’m trying to figure out which pieces of Benthic armor I’ve acquired to upgrade. I got a couple of Azerite armor pieces, but I’m not sure if I should hold out for better traits.
Also, what is the max ilevel for Benthic Azerite armor?
I’ve tried to research these questions, but I’m seeing conflicting information – I think some info is from the PTR which may have changed.
Thanks!
This gives a pretty good overview.
I bought multiple pieces on my shaman and got the same traits across each piece.
Example: Bought shoulders twice, both were the exact same traits in the exact same spots on the circles of trait choices. Super LAAAME.
Does the benthic azerite pieces have socket potential like the other stuff?
I believe the Benthic Azerite armor pieces cannot warforge, which I think means no sockets.
They do vary, some are better than others. It’s even possible to get a socketed piece. It just random dumb luck and endless grind (to get right traits with socketed)
This is how Blizzard increases “Time Played” and extends subscriptions.
Yes. I got one with a socket and another without one. I think they were pants.
Once you know best in slot piece, you take an alt to Nazjatar and do the intro quests. Take those few dozen manpearls and buy a few of that slot and mail them back.
I’ve started down that path. Last night did the Nazjatar intro on one alt, got a pile of mana pearls. Bought the Benthic armor slots that are BIS for my spec. Opened them all up on my main and hoped to win the lottery. It worked, one was the right version with a socket. I will rinse and repeat this process until I get all three BIS Benthic armor slots.
Thanks for the input. I think that’s good advice for Benthic armor generally.
But, I’m asking specifically about the pieces with Azeroth traits. Do these have variations for each slot? Or, for example, will every Benthic chest piece I get be the same?
Per the Wowhead link posted above, Azerite slots only have one Benthic item per slot; that is, you’ll get the same Azerite item every time using a Head, Shoulders, or Chest Benthic token.
Thanks! I was trying to confirm that.
you can get socketed azerite gear? I thought such things were not possible?
He’s not talking about azerite. Gloves/boots/bracers are BIS for eternal palace for most DPS specs, and can proc sockets.
I was posting about Benthic armor. Check my profile, I have 2 pieces of socketed Benthic armor.
