Ascended items were first introduced to us through the brand new Fractals of the Mists. Slowly you eliminated half the use for Jewels (except that jewels are still necessary to build exotic trinkets).

Sigils are already on a slow decline, across the board, since they aren’t compatible with new ascended weapons, including legendaries.

Ascended armor, as far as I am aware, has been talked, or at least thought, about. I can only guess that’s more than a month away, but not more than four.

So what’s the point of adding new runes and sigils for “Those braving the dangers of the most difficult fractals” …if they’re most likely the ones already in ascended gear?
lol.

Is this some hint that we’ll actually be getting a new tier of runes and sigils that can be applied to ascended weapons and armor? It would be a wise choice to give us runes to put on ascended armor, mind you, since without the various unique rune effects, our build diversity goes down considerably. Would that be possible?
(please say yes!)

edit: shoot, I can’t believe I missed that. Sorry I didn’t realize ascended weapons had a normal upgrade slot in addition to the infusion slot O.o… my fault. I thought they worked the same way as ascended trinkets.

We are such flecks as stars are made of. . .

Ascended weapons, and probaly armor can still be slotted with normal sigils/runes.

Why wouldn’t normal runes remain in ascended armor then? Ascended weapons possess normal upgrade slots, don’t see a need to deviate with armor.

A remnant of times past.
