Hi I like the system and see the benefits. You have now spoken to one person that likes it.


If you’d be so kind, would you mind providing sound arguments as to how this new system is beneficial?

I’m genuinely curious as I see plenty of arguments in opposition of azerite armor.

Well I like having the continued growth from something other than gear. I can't be in a raid all the time and having a way constantly improve is nice. But the same could be said for artifacts. The thing I like better here is that you have the one thing you put azerite into as opposed to having to divy it up if you want to multi spec. While the benefits atm aren't as noticeable as artifacts, I still like some of the options they provide and am looking forward to seeing what else they add. Personally it does make me feel powerful when I get a good set of traits working. Plus having some control over what I can do is nice too. It's not perfect and needs some tuning and adjustments but I think that's what patches are for. Plus if I recall many people had similar complaints about artifacts too so I see much of these arguments as the community on repeat.
