Respeccing is costing some upwards of 60 USD per item

So a run of bad luck means there aren’t multiple ways to get gear? Ok then.

That has been the response to swapping specs since Classic, I’m not sure why Azerite armor should be different?

You being able to customize the spec speciffic buffs given by a piece of gear doesn’t mean that piece should be used for all of your specs.

The problem seems to be how you are using the system, not the system by default.

First of all, it’s their money. If they choose to spend it on that who cares?

Second you couldn’t be more wrong. Carry different gear gas ALWAYS been the answer. I swear people got so spoiled in legion or wod (don’t remember which made the change) when they had gear swap stats.

I remember back in cata when I had:
Dw frost haste dps set
Dw frost mastery dps set
2h frost dps set
Unholy dps set
And blood tank set

5 gear sets for the different builds you could use/off sets.

Now its an extra 3 pieces…seriously people. Azerite gear rains from the sky. Just collect another 3 for your off set.

I’ve respecced armor 3 times the entire expansion on this toon. Like…what are you even doing to feel the need to do it so often? Simply unnecessary unless you’re just making that many mistakes choosing traits.

Don’t forget the days when we had to redo talent trees…that was expensive. Welcome to Molten core, mage go respec fire, ok now go respec frost, now go back and respec arcane…lol

Stop changing azerite talents. Just use generic traits that work for all specs. Or get a 2nd set like the rest of us do.

Please do explain to me how I can obtain the azerite gear from the vendor by another way?

People tend to greatly exaggerate the difference between “suitable” traits and “acceptable” traits. It’s okay if your offspec set is a little bit lower.

I don’t know your spread of specs between the content you’re doing, but Mythic+ basically caps out in relevance at the Heroic BoD gear level. You can blast out +10s while under 400 ilvl if you want, no problem. You do NOT need perfect traits for Mythic+.

If you’re pushing Mythic BoD, make that your best set. Use some easily obtainable 400 ilvl pieces and any leftover 415s for Mythic+ Dungeons. Pick generic traits if you absolutely must use both DPS and Tank specs for different runs with different traits than you use in that spec for raiding. It’ll get the job done.

Your equipped AZ gear is ilv 400, so 395 base. That’s generally Emmissary and Invasion level rewards.

So I’d suggest doing that content to get more pieces.

Ways to get azerite gear:
Weekly warfronts
Dungeons (340n, 365h, 400+m, scrap for titan residium if you don’t like the ilvl)
LFR
Raids
World quests (355, don’t like it scrap it for residium)
Emissaries (385, don’t like it scrap for residium)
Invasions (370, don’t like it scrap it)
PvP
Warfronts in general
And finally, the titan residium vendor.

You can easily get 3-4 a day. Heck there is no limit to how many you can get from spamming dungeons all day,

This has always been the answer if you played the game seriously at all even before this… One spec’s secondary stats is another specs trash stats. So i’m not sure where you’re getting that we haven’t had to do that in the past.

that’s fine for heroic and only 10 keys

but i can’t do 16s as fury with 400 ilvl armor and expect to be invited or even do very well.

so i reforge to prot because my classes other specs aren’t competitive/attractive for high keys.

if they were, i wouldn’t have to reforge, but blizzard hasn’t done a tuning pass and i have to foot the bill?

that’s not cool.

and you may thing people exaggerate suitable and competitive traits, but im not and i am very confident that i know more about warrior traits than you do.

Then don’t do 16s with an offspec.

fury is my main spec.

Okay then what’s Prot for? If it’s for raiding, why the hell are you raiding on your offspec?

You’re not a serious player if you are respecing one set of gear all the time, you’re an idiot. I’m not even close to a serious player and I keep a set for my off spec that is as up to date as I can get it.

MY respec cost is 5 to 10 gold per item. Never more. Why? because I carry gear for feral and guardian. I’ve carried gear for my specs since Vanilla. At one time, I had to carry six different sets of gear (feral, guardian, balance, restoration - tank healer, restoration - group healing, pvp).

It has been happening for so long that it is second nature. It allows me to tune my gear to my spec without spending gold on changing Azerite Traits. And yes, I am not a very serious player anymore. However, I used to chase that rainbow.

Gear rewards cap out at +10, and by your own summation you can get a +10 done with your offspec gear.

I get that you are doing M+ as Prot to get invites, but why not just build a good set of Prot gear and then farm higher keys/gear resets for Fury gear?

imo You are wasting your own gold by reforging too often.

The rewards for M+ cap out at +10 (besides TR). Why not do some +10 resets as Prot and farm better high-end AZ gear for it?

Just buy some more tokens, that’s why they are there.

who wants to do a +10? why would i want to do 10s?
