    d) Thanks for proving my point, that you just want to be outraged over every little thing that Blizzard does. Easiest ignore I've ever done.
    a) it's literally basic economics. Just because you didn't buy the mats on the AH doesn't mean they were free. You spent time on them. Sure, your time might be worth very little, but it's definitely not free

    b) No, it's not planning ahead. It's "fixing" mistakes as they make them.

    c) not an option

    d) I don't want to be outraged. I just also won't defend dumb ass decisions.

    a) Legendary costs are absolutely free of charge (outside of vendor mats). You choose to buy them off the AH, so that's on you. Personally I have a druid that I mine/skin on for maybe 2 hours a week, and that's gotten me everything I'd ever need. There's an argument to be made, certainly, about having to grind for things. But that's WoW. You can do it, or you can pay to skip it. Blizzard isn't forcing you to do shit.
    There's NO way that farming leather for 2 hours a week makes you enough leather/hides to level even a single leather/mail recipe to rank 4 in any reasonable amount of time, if you don't spend tons of money on the AH in addition to that.

Increasing soul ash generation from Torghast is the definition of planning ahead. It's a non-factor. As for being necessary or not... Nothing Blizzard does is 'necessary' - that is such a weird argument.
    Increasing Soul Ash amounts it not the definition of planning ahead, on the contrary. It's more like "oh shit this kinda sucks, we need to find a quick fix so it's not quite as bad". Planning ahead would have been not having legendaries on slots where you know will be other systems in 9.1 or 9.2. Or informing players in advance which slots are less desirable for legendaries. Or just not design a new system that directly interferes with an existing system.

    How much is not yet known.

    Knowing Blizzard...i bet you will receice...humm...let me calculate for a bit how much Blizzard is Blizzard...humm...i bet we will receive -50% soul ash on repeat floors.
    Place your bets.

    I do have 2 max level characters with layer 8 unlocked...that might come in handy considering we can send to other chars.
    It's a 50% increase in Soul Ash on your first run of the week. Repeat runs give you 20% of the current amount, allowing you to farm to your heart's content. On top of sending it between charaters.

    I craft the ones I need. I don't craft every single one of them. Any alt I make takes skinning/mining while I level it, specifically to funnel even more mats to my crafters. Also that's the farming I do now. Back at the start of Shadowlands, I was definitely doing it for longer, and also back when there were better spots. So far I haven't spent anything on my legendaries. In fact, I've made rather hefty profits from selling ones I didn't use (which, by the way, is much more than the mats themselves sell for).

    Somewhat hilariously, only one of the slots (double keg for BRM) I put any of my current ones in, are going to need recrafting. Because I didn't care to absolutely minmax my secondaries. Woopty doo I lose less than 0.5% dps/healing, the horror.

    Yup. Which is why legendaries shouldn't have different slots you can craft them in in the first place. All legendaries should go into the same slot (like... the old totem/relic/libram slot) or few slots, then they can put tier sets and Domination Shards and whatever else in the slots without legendaries.

    That's literally the dumbest thing I ever heard. You might want to google "opportunity cost", before trying to lecture others on economics

    Did you just tell me subsequent runs will give -80%?

    My guess was -50%.....it seems like i underestimated the God of Timagates...Blizzard

    so no, you DO NOT NEED TO RE-CRAFT YOUR LEGENDARY ITEMS!
    Wrong. Have you even read the post he linked? You need 3 gems for the set bonus, but you can still socket 5 for the individual bonuses

    Imagine being this wrong but also so confident that you're right. You'll be using all 5 Domination slots. It's really that simple. 3 of the best color (currently looking to be Unholy apparently) and then the 2 DPS gems of the other colors.

    There's gonna be a shitstorm once the average wow player realize they have to spam Torghast and spend gold to craft the same legendary that they already made before

    Every run after the first gives you like 150 Soul Ash on Layer 8.

    Now, Torghast is quicker, but it hardly is relevant.

    Okay but if your legendary is in a Shoulder slot then you pretty much have to re-craft your Legendary or you won't be able to use all the available Domination gem slots.

    Good news is that you can get the soul ash needed in a single week now.

    The guy probably doesn't even play the game. People who haven't played the game for 5 years love to come to this forum to "counter" active players every time the criticize the game.

    No, you have 5 possible items per character. If your legendary is in a shoulder slot, then you have Helm/Chest available for everyone, as well as 2 additional choice depending on armor type.

    You will not "have" to craft a new legendary unless you are part of the world first race, and you have stupid bad RNG with the raid drops.

    Well then I don't understand your problem. In 9.1 rank 4 legendaries become "useless" as any other gear from 9.0 since you will be replacing every single piece of gear eventually. You are going to make a rank 5/6 legendary anyway and it doesn't matter which slot you make it since you don't have to make r4 before doing so. Rest of your post was sunk cost fallacy so I didn't mention it.

    Unless you're crafting for a slot with a socket, in which case you do have to make it before 9.1 so you can socket it. Sure, you can just do R1 instead of R4, but that's still gold spent that wouldn't need to be spent if Blizzard planned ahead.

    It's 80% reduced per character. Keep in mind that you can transfer soul ash between characters. You also get 2060 soul ash for a layer 12 clear. If you have 3 characters, that's enough ash for 1 legendary per week on 1 character.
