Was this an intentional design?

There are no other fortification items in Feywild (except insightful), as far as the community list goes, that we can use to slot it.

Why even make fortification part of loot tetris again?

(Yes, I'm aware there are older items with Fortification)


Here are a couple of examples:

Further, the autumn bracers have insight resistance +8 while the Parry on the armour pieces provide +10. Yes I get that other season users can benefit from it but as far as the current list goes, there are 11 slots that form the Autumn set. 1 slot from the unreleased raid trinket, 1 is a very specialised orb and another 1 for the Artifact belt which takes the slot of the STILL unique Ravenloft caster dps/heal belt. So given that, your chances of slotting both if you want 7 piece Autumn is really high.

While I'm still on the topic of gear, why does the following provide a proc haste? It just seems like a waste of an effect slot since everyone should be either running haste 24/7 whether it's an item, augment or spell. Yes there are the small non-speed bonuses like dodge but is there something I'm missing?

I didnt even notice this. Not that id ever use this set for a caster of any kind but this is awful. No one comes prepared for reaper with less then 200 fort and that's bare minimum. Some quests requiring 300+ to not get crit by displacer beasts. Just add it to the pile of unpolished, rushed, garbage that is u48. 7 pieces of caster loot for full autumn set and not one has fort. Guess they really want casters to just get constantly one shot. This update clearly needed another month or two of tweaking. Quests great. Gear and augments are just an utter disaster. SSG, not a good look yo.

I'll add to this conversation the question of "why does the summer set has two items that give 21 charisma?.. "Seems like a waste.. As tho all the other stats are covered..

Because the armor slot is the keystone slot for the Sharn sets, and the Sharn sets remain too good to abandon, for me the Feywild armors are only good for glammering. I don't even look at what attributes they have.

I only care about, do they have a well-designed look that matches my conception for my character, and is it not commonly seen on other characters in the wild? So far the answer for the ones I've gotten has been Yes, so into the glammer mirror they go

It's got blue / green slots.

There's your fortification.
