Storm Legion has landed and, within a few quests, all that work put into getting good gear almost feels a waste.
I was nearly to the point of having a full set of purple gear. Now I’m back to a mix of greens and blues and one or two purples left, until I replace those of course. As I really should have and really did expect, Storm Legion greens are better than Chocolate Rift purples. *sigh*
The first piece I got wasn’t so bad. I didn’t even use it because it wasn’t as good as a piece I had just made. Whew. But most of the rest of the stuff I got as quest rewards really was better. In some cases we’re talking not a little better but A LOT better.
I was ok with it until I got the staff. All the work to get the Inscribed Source stone to get the staff, and in just a few hours of play I have an even better one. And I got the new wand right after I got the staff. It makes me a little sad.
Ok so enough lamenting. Truth is, if I hadn’t put all that effort into getting that gear, I’d be struggling. Storm Leagion level 50 mobs in the new zones are at least as hard as the 52’s in Ember Isle, so as sad as I am to be replacing gear I worked hard for so soon, I’m glad I made that effort to get that gear. And I’m glad to be getting even better gear now.
