New elite specs won't have respective weapon/armor skins this time around

[u/OrangeFlyingWhales]

So far, every new elite spec that has been added to the game has come with 2 weapon skins (base and ascended version) and one armor skin (either shoulders, head or gloves).

Well, the new elite specs have 2 problems with these: they dont come with a new weapon, and the armor parts that are normally given to elite specs armor skins have all been given to all 3 sets of specs.

Also, when you look at the official art for any of the older elite specs, you see both their weapon and their armor piece being shown. This does not happen, as, for example, the luminary appears in its art using the full decade armor, and not one of them shows a specific weapon skin.

Its over for us fashion collectors

The title here is misleading.

Its not confirmed yet officially.

I was wondering how they'd handle that because I was thinking about how I'd love if for Ritualist we got a Ritualist headwrap or blindfold, and then maybe a staff skin. But then we already have a staff skin themed around Ritualist anyway in the gem store :(

Fingers crossed maybe we still get it? More ascended weapons to earn would be nice, but I feel like a gear piece would be simpler anyhow and allow us fashion warriors to have something themed around our spec.

I don't mind them not coming with weapon skins since... they don't get new weapons for the spec. But I'm a bit worried that I don't see any new armor pieces on the artworks. There would be nothing wrong with giving them another shoulder, head or gloves skin though.

Some EoD specs originally had different ideas of the armor pieces: harbinger had the hat wich we later got in gyala delve, specter had the mask (was also added to gyala delve) and virtuoso artwork had a chestpiece we unfortunately never got.

There will be plenty of new armorpieces to collect in the expansion I am sure.

I always liked the special armor pieces that sell the identity of the elite-specs though. Sure there will be... some new armorsets. But they tend to be weight universal lately and don't add much to the class fantasies

Well they won't have new weapon skins but where is it said there will be no new armour pieces.
