Q:

Did you notice valkyrie is missing (and i think is the only one)? Why is this? Is it intended?

Also just the invader jewelry is available. Why not also the other jewelry sets for WvW?

Valkyrie stats are missing from everything, everywhere. They are basically ONLY craftable; according to Wiki (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats) they can’t be acquired through any other source. There are currently no true Valkyrie stat ascended items, either, and Valkyrie stats, as we know them in PvE/WvW (Power/Vit/Crit Damage) don’t really exist in PvP either.

If I had to guess at why they decided to downplay the existence of Valkyrie and make it only available from 1 source, I would say that they probably didn’t realize before release how incredibly OP “Hidden Killer” thieves can be when using full or near full Valkyrie gear, and now they’re using the Ascended Tier of gear as a way to phase out Valkyrie stats. That’s just a guess, it could be just another one of those decisions that we’ll never understand, and which will never be explained, like the crazy Dolyak Rule in WvW.

TLDR: This isn’t a WvW issue, Valkyrie stats are missing from EVERY part of the game except crafting, they are even non-existent in the new Ascended gear.
