Moving Battlemaster chest piece gear to orange doesnt transfer set bonus

Sorry to say this but...

I followed the 1.2 patch from development, predicted what was going to happen, and never wasted anytime grinding my 50 and instead leveled up some alts. For me, 1.2 is excellent but i guess thats because i planned ahead.

Cant wait to finish collecing my bm set so i can pull all the mods out of the trash gear and put them in my awesome pre 50 mando gear

I have a ton of alts as well, but crappy is crappy. Not gonna worry about it I unsubed our accounts. I'm not a Guild Wars fan, but think I'll give it an honest shot and try it out.

so i need to farm a second armor set of bm for the crafted orange gear to have set bonus ?
or just farm warhero gear 2k+ rated coms
(6k+ warzone coms per piece ~ 75 warzones aka ~80 warzone com per -> ~18.7h per piece)
(daily worth 396 warzone coms)

BM Gloves 875
BM Boots 875
BM Legs 975
BM Head 1075
= 3800 warzone coms -> ~12h grind for 4p set bonus on crafted gear


Edit: kinda sucks for all ppl who grinded full set of bm for weeks and now re grind it again

Yes that sums it up. Oh and and we want you to pay $15 bucks to do that. Lol

I'm pretty sure it said right on the patch notes that set bonuses were NOT transferring to items when you remove the mods at this time. (Not sure if anyone said this already but I skimmed all posts and didn't notice it being mentioned)

All I did was take the mods out of my BM chest item and put it in something cuter. That way I still get my set bonus and I don't look like everyone else.

I was very disappointed on the "color customization" front, but when you sync your gear up to your chest piece and the colors sort of match...I guess it's better than nothing.

Dont forget that you need to spend another 200k-600k to pull the mods. Depending if it is actually on the armor mod.

Well, money is money. There's no excuse for whining about costs. It's not like they were raised. They've always been there. Go run dailies, save the wasted tears.

It's not a total loss. Just wait for a good looking piece of crit-crafted orange to come along.

5 augments > set bonuses. I've got 3 so far. +36 end and +54 between acc/crit/surge is pretty sweet.

Not going to worry about it. Wasn't terribly content with 1.2 bodyguard with the healing nerfs etc as well, so I'm just going to try out another game. Thanks for the post.

May I suggest "The Secret World"?
