Heart of Azeroth

You'll carry the Heart of Azeroth throughout the entire expansion. It is the new "Artifact Weapon".

The Heart of Azeroth is empowered by Azerite and will automatically absorb any nearby Azerite. No loss of bag space or time spent clicking!

Once the Heart of Azeroth absorbs enough Azerite, it can level up. Upon reaching certain levels, it will awaken some latent properties in another piece of gear.

Upgrading Gear

The current plan is that Helm, Shoulders, and Chests will be able to be empowered by the Heart of Azeroth

Each of these pieces has 3 rings; each ring has multiple traits on it. When a ring is unlocked, players will be able to choose a single trait to learn.

The outer ring unlocks first and consists of 4 possible choices. The middle ring unlocks second and consists of 3 possible choices. The inner ring unlocks last and consists of 2 possible choices.

A piece with the same name will have the exact same layout of traits -- You'll be able to see it in the Dungeon Journal. No RNG!

However, higher item level pieces will have more powerful traits, but Azerite attuned pieces can not titanforge.

Offensive traits will also be paired on the same ring as other offensive traits. Utility traits will always be paired on the same ring as other utility traits. This will create meaningful choices.

Once you choose a trait, the ring will rotate until your choice is at the top!

Comment by DaillemandThe good thing is there won't be 3 times more effort to give for each char as we had with the 3 artefacts weapons to levels up and 9 relics per char. :)

In BfA one neck = one char. And it's perfect ! Because right know in Legion i don't have the motivation to optimize my rerolls. You know tiersets, legendaries, relics...Comment by immoralsoulThese traits are just god awful boring...

Some "Replacement for tier/legendaries/artifacts" these are...Comment by DabraxusPersonally, I like the sound of new system since you can choose the traits (set bonus) that fit your play style rather than going for one optimal build to fully utilize the set bonuses. But until we see “raid tier” traits, feel free to call these entry level traits boring. XDComment by ZaphbotThese traits are just god awful boring... Some "Replacement for tier/legendaries/artifacts" these are...Comment by DabraxusWe didn't have 13-15 standard passives, 4 gold traits in the first weeks... as it was stated, that is probably questing stuff and it's okay for that... there are going to be 9 bonus effects. Also which of these are recycled? Maybe some of them, but there is also new stuff too...but if you don't like the new system, you still have the option to not play the expansion because it's very likely going to focused around it.Comment by ZaphbotWe didn't have 13-15 standard passives, 4 gold traits in the first weeks... as it was stated, that is probably questing stuff and it's okay for that... there are going to be 9 bonus effects.

Yeah, its coming to an end for me, this along with Mission Tables and mindless sub-features - ie: transmog competitions really putting a nail in this coffin after 8 years and 5 Blizzcon's.

"I do believe I've had enough" - Reo Speedwagon - Time for me to Fly - u tube it, its the song that accurately describes this players sentiment. Time to find another path, its Time for me to Fly...

I do love your games Blizzard and all that you have done getting me through a very dark period of my life in offering me a way to escape that reality. I had so many fun times and met so many great people that are friends today. The door isn't completely closed for now...God bless all and thank you for being that escape for me...Comment by LautnerI like this system. The idea that while we're questing and running dungeons, our 'upgrades' can be basic ass +x% type stuff, but as we grow stronger, we get more talent-level stuff that may change our gameplay.

Can't wait to see what the higher ilvl armor stuff gives us. I can see these replacing raid tier sets.Comment by DarknessvampSo I can't remember if they said this or not, but is the Azerite Gear going to also be replacing class sets from raids this expansion or will some Azerite Gear also be part of a Class Set?Comment by FilipseLighting Bolt... for Enhancement? O_o

Yeah, unless they revert how Maelstrom works to the old system (alot better, current feels like handicapped rage) there's just no way it's going to be usefull for Enhancement, it deals less damage than the Warrior's Heroic-Throw.
