With the new stat curves,the meta will be a lot more aggressive than now.Yes,they seem kinda bugged atm,but it's a fact that you cant just get away with picking a boon and couple of rings to get a stat where you want it,for example.You are gonna have to stack stats hard if you want an impact.Because of this,classes other than gf (and probably the upcoming paladin) will take a huge hit in DR,because their gear does not come with much defense.Additionally,ArPen will be added to most dps sets apparently,making defense even less powerful.Add to that the removal of in-combat regen and going in with plain level 70 gear and no tenacity will make you go splat instantly.On the other hand,tenacity has kept the same curve past 60,meaning Drow gear will add a LOT of survivability,simply because all other defensive options become less potent.While a small boost to stats could work,you dont pick the Drow set so much for the stats,or the set bonus,but for tenacity...That being said,I hope piercing damage will be updated to respect tenacity.That will give players the option to choose a defensive-pvp set,but sacrifice stats,or an offensive-pve set,but become a glass cannon.
U mad bro? so you want the massive dr from shield and the mastery slot bonus with broken storm spell or what? xD cmon thats too greedy when finally everything gets fixed :P

I wouldn't consider this version final. Why would they introduce a new PVP set that is only viable at 60 when they raise the cap to 70 in the very same Mod? That makes no sense.
Exactly. The Drow set was NEVER in the game, never on test. The only thing we saw was a collections page in the Test Gateway. For all practical purposes this set DOES NOT exist yet.
People need to relax a bit and wait until a new PvP set actually shows up on the test server. It's crazy that this has gone on for 35 pages, and now people are complaining about how a non-existant set isn't very good anymore.
It never had the chance to BE good because it NEVER existed.

Its already in preview and you can buy it. Idk what you are talking about.

huh.. its on the preview server now and been on the shard since the first day. So don't understand what you are saying. Will it be level 70 at the end of testing.. maybe.
I think the price is fine and actually its nice that they lowered the price on the other tiers. Makes getting a new 60 toon into tenacity gear a bit easier. One of the hardest parts is going into pvp without tenacity when you first hit 60.
The 'Drow set' will be updated before launch to be equivalent to the best level 70 gear. It will also have a new look to be more in keeping with the elemental theme of this module and no longer be called the Drow set.
I actually loved the look of the Drow PvP armor. Finally a high level armor set that looks nice and didn't require an immediate transmute to some old low level gear. I hope this the new look will not be another black ice approach and I would really love to see the look from the Drow Set to maybe be put on the Tarmalune trader as I was looking forward to this look.

you are one of few words but always the best! thanks for the answer to the summoning ^^
@suddenslow i tried the one for tr and hr, i didnt like them. the best ones are the draconic templars so far
@raydan I guess it is personal preference on looks and quite varied. I know some people that absolutely love the black ice look even. I like a more plain and subdued appearance in general and I was never big on flashy or spikes or brilliant colors (being that I am partially color blind I suppose it looks different to me than others).

Since the art has already been created to some degree, it's likely to be released at some point, maybe in a module with more of a drow theme, maybe as a PvE set. But not using it at all is dev time (and thus money) wasted.

I have a similar aesthetic sense. Most of my characters have been transmuted to gear with very simple silhouettes.

Thank you!
If its at all possible please compare all sets to ensure at least 1 set for each class has hp.
I also would like to chime in and say that I hope the drow set art work shows up in the game soon, it looks really nice and I am disappointed that we won't get to have it at any currently announced time.

All thats gonna happen is they will change the item level to like 150 or maybe even 170 depending on what the "max" is for epics at 70. Right now blues are around the 120 range so its currently treating Drow gear LIKE a lvl 70 blue armor.
All that will happen is the stats will get scaled up a decent amount, For GUESStimate purposes you can probably subtract the difference from Profound and Drow sets, and add that difference ONTO the Drow set.
So for instance if Drow set gives +450 power Profound set is +350 power. The lvl 70 Epic Drow set will be +550 Power. ETC.
nah they wouldn't do that, the gear is already finished, they'll only scale it to have level 70 stats.
If no one asks for something different they wont consider it.
The crafted blue TR lvl 70 armor gives 10k hp. 45xx on the chest and 22xx on the other 3 pieces. If that is the sort of scale up the other classes will get on their new lvl 70 pvp set items, i think it would be extremely unfair, given the recent self sustain changes, for any classes to miss out on hp on at least 1 pvp set.
ALL classes should be given the option to build defensively with gear. Raw stats no longer come close to competing with raw hit points now that scaling to 70 has come into play.
All new armor pieces from item level 90 and higher will now have Hit Points. This is a bonus that does not come out of the stat budget for the item.
Old Epic T2 armor will not get this bonus HP even if its item level is greater than 90.
I'm hoping there will be a really nice large variety of new item sets with interesting set bonuses then. It's gonna be cool too what what is gonna come out of builds!

Glad you are changing the look too

Please have all classes with 1 set with hp.

awww snap. Thanks for passing this along. Keep the communication coming
new armor is up on preview but doesn't contain HP for the TR set
Oops! It will have the same HP as the rest of the classes.
much appreciated!
