All I can think is that the gear shown as the upgraded version is only showing as Tier 2 empowered and will improve statwise when you get it and empower it with purified black ice , still cannot see any reason to bother leveling up black ice profession unless the sets get set bonuses , even the gearsets at lvl 5 have no set bonus .
TL;DR All the new Black ice gear sets appear to be quite bogus and certainly not worth the large amount of effort required.
For existing Purified or Corrupted Gear, are they both going to be Upgradeable to a set that has a 4-piece bonus? I see the BLUE Elemental Gear. I want to get the Purified Gauntlet for my CW today, but I am afraid to invest. Has anyone seen anything on this?

Only the gloves can be upgraded. You must buy a new set of normal black ice helmet/armor/boots to make the rest.

Thank You for replying. Any word if there is a 4-piece BI in the works? I would like to see if it is better than the new PVP gear. I need to know so I can decide to purchase the Gauntlets that are available right now.
No set bonus either , level up BI to rank 5 to make a gear set that has no set bonus , no thanks ... as things stand it seems to be quite a pointless task to level up BI to rank 5.

Have we seen any level 70 gear with set bonuses?
And have you checked out the stats on the gear? That's...a lot.
Exactly... and the Elemental PVP sets have nice stats, set bonuses and tenacity and are sold for the prices of the current Profound pieces too. That makes Black Ice Set and Crafting pretty much pointless.
Maybe it is just me... but I don't think Cryptic will make the best pvp gear that easy to get... there are probably something better from the lockboxes.
Most of them are pretty crappy set bonuses I know the GF and OPs are

With the amount of effort to get any of the gear and how lackluster it looks compared to other gear I can see IWD being dead mod 6.
It was DoA since mod 4 and is more dead now in mod 5. They are actually selling the previously hard to get Gloves in the zen shop for a rather low price now, you can see that they don't think it makes much sense to work on Black Ice gear.
The Elemental set being level 70 will buy them some time to come up with a new pvp gear likely from the lockboxes. BI gear is still good for leveling for some time but eventually will become garbage.
This is why it was suggested to do more with black ice damage stat. Could make black ice equipment more desirable and open up some cool builds. I do think that they arent finished yet. Need to add a set bonus and weapons

The black ice stat has been eliminated, as per a dev's post.
Purified BI gear for certain builds is outstanding as of this moment. Purified Absorption, in conjunction with other defensive choices gave awesome results. I'm very disappointed we are losing that option.
We're not losing that option, we simply have other options at level 70.

last minute ditch? or a sign of, hey, black ice is gonna be very viable next mod, here's a chance to complete it
in my experience, i'm gonna go with a last ditch effort to squeeze revenue
offensive to say the least.

There is no page 12. It is merely a figment of your imagination - which means a Trickster Rogue likely put it there!
