Conduit Confusion
After detailing the way conduits work in an article last week, the team is making several changes to the conduit system.
- No longer a weekly lockout and will instead use a charge base system
- Each change of a conduit uses 1 charge and you get a new charge each day
- Adding an upgraded conduit to your library also provides a charge
- All soulbinds have been revised to have 2 potency conduits only
- Aiming to make the system less punishing to multispec players and players changing loadouts between various content
- Joce’s two cents… Seems to me like there was a much easier solution than giving us another currency to track, even if it’s earned automatically. A weekly lockout on changes would have been fine, if soulbinds were spec specific. This is the same thing we wanted with Azerite Armor. Just let us have it ffs.
