U42 Preview 2: Named Loot

[JOTMON]

If there's one thing you can count on me to do, as this thread may have shown you, it's telling you guys "no" when I need to.

Well its frustrating for warlocks who are dc light armor focussed we got ignored for armor associated set bonuses in Slavelords, Ravenloft, and now also ignored for forthcoming set bonus in Sharn.

2 years of updates and expansions and you have managed to skip over leather armors for casters, in particular useful leathers that blend for dc caster sets.

Sharn disproportionately favors non leather armors..
4 Heavy armor sets (2 caster)
3 Medium Armors (2 caster)
3 outfits (1 for casters)
2 light armors both melee (0 caster)

Endgame leather armor DC casters are effectively screwed over, especially when it comes to the set bonus combinations.

I have no idea what you want me to do. If you have any concrete, constructive feedback, please let me know so you can help contribute.

We asked for a leather option for DC casters in one of the sharn sets

The Flamecleansed Fury Set would work for warlocks since it does support light spell power and DC's..

.. you said No..

..so where do we go from here.? ..
