Reorigination Array doesn't scale with item level, so a Raid Finder or Mythic piece have the same benefit as far as this bonus go.
Reorigination Array buff is a permanent increase to your highest stat while inside Uldir.
Reorigination Array buff is dynamic, meaning temporary effects change which stat is selected.

So far all of the talents look kinda ... boring? What can i say. Would've liked if they went a bit more wild with it but it is what they said it was gonna be : Netherlight Crucible 2.0

Comment by 1861998

At least on Android phones when using Chrome, the Death Knights Azerite trait tab does not appear. Instead the traits are listed under General Traits.

Comment by catlover5432

Looks good

Comment by Capitulate

Strength of spirit is both Fort Brew and Touch of Karma.

Comment by vinicabral

Really good guide, very well written. Congrats!

Comment by axeurol

Is there some sort of an "artifact knowledge" system in place (or planned), to speed up trait acquisition? As it stands on beta, from what I can tell, getting even tier 2 traits on gear from heroic 5ppl dungeons takes days and days of AP-farming, can't even imagine how bad will it be for stronger gear.

Comment by Overhaul

Most of these look bland and don't change your playstyle.

Some are also obviously better than others, worth multiple ilevels. It is like the trait system all over, except you are far more invested in these than your relic.

Comment by Naur1995

From what I've gathered so far it is possible to stack a single trait for a specific spec twice if you want all stacked traits to come from the highest possible ilvl gear.
Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, good you can stack a strong trait twice but bad because this gives even less incentive to pick the weaker traits.
e.g. for prot warrior I'll only be picking up 2 traits from the current pool of prot specific traits, this would be only one trait but it can't be stacked 3 times unless I wanna use 2 350 pieces and one 300 piece.

I'm bringing this up because there is a clear and large power gap between some of these traits.

Comment by Kakapenka

As of the current beta build epic azerite gear drops form rares in Arathi Highlands and also for completing the warfront scenario. Not sure what the lockout for those is supposed to be, but the gear level is 340+ which is in heroic 5 man range if I'm not mistaken. Azerite traits unlock at 20-25 level for this level of gear.

Comment by schmilblick

Very good guide, very bad game design.

Comment by Eskymojo

At what level do you start getting Azerite Armor? Can it drop at level 110, or is there a threshold level like say 112? I can find nowhere that this topic is addressed.

Comment by Zermatt

Now, where are the magic reduction traits for vengeance demon hunters? Did Blizzard turned them into Nighthold warriors? if so, then why bother keeping the spec, or even the class since they are useless as DPS and now tanks.

Comment by Adagior

so..the Zone Traits is only for looking

there is no possible to get 3 same zone traits

Comment by darthgummibear

These traits don't do anything to alleviate the resource and rotational issues a lot of specs have been dealing with as a result of the artifact loss. It's going to feel terrible spending an entire expansion being weaker than we were before.

Comment by Magnognomus

Question:

I love to heal on my druid, but when it comes to questing I prefer guardian. It means every single time I go in a dungeon I have to pay for change the artifact traits and pay again after I'm done?

Comment by avatarofshadow

at the very top, you wrote "in this guild" instead of "in this guide."

Comment by Megazia

correct me if i am wrong Eyes of Rage Eye Beam deals an additional (Blind Fury 180) 120 damage. Consuming a Soul Fragment reduces the cooldown of Eye Beam by 1.0 sec change to 0.7 sec. they nerfed it.

Comment by Parusoid

"your Unstable Affliction increases your Haste by 0 for 15 sec" wow, that's op!

Comment by jjanchan

What happens if you stack two of the same trait? Does proc chance double, or just strength of the proc double? That should be made clear in the guide.

EDIT: They do stack; stacking traits appears to increase the strength of the proc, rather than the proc rate. Stacking is additive in terms of proc strength.
For example, one Resounding Protection trait that granted a 5000 HP shield and another that grants 4500 HP shield would stack to provide a 9500 HP shield every 30 seconds.

hey, found a trait not in the guide, any info would be appreciated: https://prnt.sc/kk91e1

Inevitability - Backstab and Shadowstrike deal an additional 62 damage and extend the duration of your Symbols of Death by 1.0 sec.

Currently on live it says 0.5 sec not 1.0.

Comment by GabrielFM

What does "local traits" mean? Azerite gear from that location will always have one of those or is it a chance? Only on that location you'll be able to get a piece with them?

Can the same armor have different azerite traits or is it set in stone? For instance buying the benthic until it has the traits you want

Title says "Azerite Traits and The Heart of Azeroth" Where is the heart of Azeroth part?

Comment by Xandraroes

A note on the On My Way "generic" role trait for those looking to combine with Longstrider on Speed sets: this trait is only available to classes with a healing spec. You do not have to spec into healing to access it, however.

Classes that can access trait: Priest, Druid, Monk, Shaman, and Paladin
