@Kairozdormu Not currently, if you missed some plans by exploring the world, you can purchase them outright, but that's about it

@Dhomeli @Muffinus Current plan is that follower level and quality will modify how much that blacksmith follower helps you out.

@mumper @Dhomeli Some rare followers might have the coveted Level 2 mining trait, but they'll be difficult to find.

@CosmicGuitars @Trike_Dealer not all of these sets are rigged for all races, so they may never be available. we hear mogger desire, though

@philipkdick_ Conquest gear will still come from doing Rated PvP, which we consider the toughest challenge players can face in WoW PvP.

— Holinka (@holinka) May 6, 2014

@d3thray01 The difference in ilevel between Conquest gear and Mythic gear will be quite minimal (maybe 5 ilevels).

— Holinka (@holinka) May 6, 2014

@Cyclonus_WOW No, above par. Bonus Armor will be your most valuable secondary stat as a Gladiator. (ie, same as Defensive Protection)

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 6, 2014

@BurningVoidzone Having "access" to armor gear also means that non-armor gear is suboptimal. It's not a gain. Shields are just one slot.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 7, 2014

@Kosouda @ArielleEJ @Binkenstein @Cyclonus_WOW Bonus Armor also increases damage through Bladed Armor. Relevant for Defensive and Gladiator.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 7, 2014

@SoukieBillard We're not adding Spirit of Bonus Armor to any armor slot equipment, only ring/trinket/cloak/neck.

@davidjgarrison @oliviadgrace @Rhykes_ Hmm, I wonder what these guys are up to.... pic.twitter.com/1e6nZH9XkG

@Dolsonwow Our plan is to offer as much credit as we possibly can, but we obviously can't guarantee 100% coverage.

— Owen Landgren (@olandgren) May 6, 2014

@Just_Reboot @Celestalon That's a good question, not currently, but we will look into an alternative way for you to aggro 200 whelps

@xinaro Definitely not. It was just greens, cloth, and vendor greys, and the changes have all been reverted.
