Explaining Domination Gear to Casual Guildies

Trying to explain Shards to more casual guildies this evening, went something like this:

• There’s going to be new gems called shards
• There’s 3 different types of shards and they come in 3 different colors
• In mythics you will need 3 dps shards
• In raids you will need 3 dps shards + 2 more shards so you can have 3 of one color
  (guildies counting on fingers)
• This probably means you will have 2 sets of gear for pve, because your M+14 gear will be better than an inactive color bonus but not better than an active dps shard
  (guildies frown)
• Don’t upgrade your current lego
• You’re going to have to throw your current legendary in the trash and remake the exact same one because there’s a 95% chance your lego is in one of your 5 shard slots
  (what? is there a free conversion? why not)
• You’ll all need chest, shoulders and helm, but the other 2 pieces are random depending on your armor type
• You won’t actually benefit from your shard set bonus for a very long while if you don’t get exactly the right socketed piece, because you need to socket red in a chest to active the blood bonus, or green in a helm to activate the unholy bonus, or blue in shoulders to activate the frost bonus, and you can only get these items from raids.
  (painful groans)

It is designed to be punishing and limiting , so if you feel that way. Well yeah “Working as intended” .
