The costs to respec azerite traits are ridiculous

Simply put, i dont believe having a different set, which would take a substantial time to get, is the best solution. It maybe fine for you but I think theres a better way.

Well, yes and no. They did both actually. There are some classes that got to keep effects from legendaires (like fire mages), then there are those that lost everything.

Uh the game has been this way since vanilla. It’s not a new things since legion.

And is that right and fun for everyone? No.

Blizz keeps making the same mistakes, and that’s the reason why the game is in the state that its in.

I can respect that answer. It doesn’t solve your issue, but I can respect it.

And it does not take that much time to get multiple pieces of azerite gear. The emissaries throw it at us. Mythic plus gives residuum and you can buy it directly. Unless I forget the cost I think a 10 can get you a 400 piece? I may be way off though.

Just saying, in the mea time you do have options

LoL, did you play WoD? And what Artifact power system was their before Legion?

I mean I will have to deal with it in the mean time and I will do those alternatives, but recommending something so the future is brighter isnt a bad thing.

I guess? But some of those were moved to talent rows and aren’t taken over the alternatives. Look at phoenix flames, wake of ashes and pyroclasm.

I’d kill to have mantle of the kirin tor back for arcane, but nope, that’s gone. Unleash Doom? Gone. Three FoF charges? Ebonbolt?

I preferred MoP over Legion, but I’d gladly take a lazy copy of those abilities over the 8.2 system, which is only fun because of how broken Vision of Perfection is, and it will 100% be nerfed to obscurity in favor of the other generic traits.

I tanked, healed, and dps’d on the same toon in BC as a pally, I carried 3 complete sets of gear including multiple resist sets for SSC. I tanked and dps’d on a warrior in vanilla which necessitated different gear, including multiple resist sets again, both for tanking and dps’ing. Yes, I played WoD. Swapping roles required, and still does, different gear because different stats matter.

Enough about the hardships of the past, lets try talk about the game now and how things can be implemented to make the player experince more bareable during this time.

I honestly see no issue with having one set for all, which is what azerite gear is leading to with their multiple traits. Gearing would be faster and I could move on to the next class of my liking and focus on them.

If you aren’t carrying around multiple sets for the multiple specs you use you’re foolish. I’m not even a big time raider, LFR is my end game, and I carry around multiple sets. Seriously, what kind of stupidity would cause someone to just reforge the armor every time they change specs?

A person who doesnt have the extra peice of gear at the moment.

Not that hard.

I dont mind paying some gold here and there, but the prices are too ridiculous

How can you not have extra pieces? I just made 120 a couple days ago and was swimming in extra pieces.

Speak for yourself. People who aren’t trying to change spec for every fight don’t care. If you DO change that often, the way it has always worked is to carry a second set of gear.

It was a minor issue in WoD, changing roles that is. It’s a major problem today. In a game where they are losing subs in mass perhaps it’s not the best idea to limit what role people can play.

I did all those things to before WoD, but the fact is, there were a hell of a lot more people back then playing the game. Now that there is so fewer players playing role swapping is a real need. BTW back then we didn’t have to worry about having to farm AP and all the other crap we do today. Back then farming gear was all we had to do. Perhaps you have no family and you don’t care about having a life outside of the game, but there are a hell of a lot of people that use to play the game that do care about those things. I know many of you say good ridden to those people who didn’t find their lives value in an on online game, but you’re only hurting yourself in the end.

I mean by all means go ahead and keep defending the current system and then you can look at the bone yard around you when Blizzard keeps pursuing this line of thinking. The game is hurting bad, and if they can’t come up with a better system its only going to get worse. Why is it the only ones who are not expected to change and adapt is Blizzard? Yep, that has been working out so well for them so far this xpac. But, keep blaming the customers, enjoy the bone yard.

Many people i know have thr same issues, not speaking for myself, there is a significant amout of people out there.

A gold cap for azerite peices respecs would hurt no one, absolutely no one.

A majority of my guild raidlogs and has multiple azerite sets. It doesn’t take “no lifing” the game to do it. Literally 1 dungeon a week and then show up for raid. So much time consuming and grinding. Unbearable tbh.

Still no valid argument as to why a gold cap is a negative thing.

Was I talking to you? I don’t see a blood elf in the portrait on the top right of that post. Maybe my eyes are acting up again.

I was responding to the post that only people that only play this game and have nothing in the outside world could have multiple sets of gear and that is an objectively false statement. When I want your 20th response saying the same thing I will ask for it.

Why make a post if you are only going to acknowledge anything that fits your narrative and write off literally anything else. It doesn’t promote discussion. It promotes circlejerking where literally nothing get accomplished.
