Due to popular demand the plan is to keep the armour after the event, so there is no huge pressure to get it before the event ends.
Awesome. Great news for those who need to level to get the next type of armor.

The event is really great :), the only thing i dont like is the time it takes to get the shadow armor (duskshadow, darkshadow, whatever), cuz they only give u 1 seal per day. its kinda annoying :(

I agree one per day gets annoying.

What's with the armor being non class specific? It seems that the armor is geared more towards mages and druids. Also the look of the armor also looks like it is for druids and mages. Seriously? Why do I need focus on my rogue? Why can't we have armor that looks different for each class and helps each class? The armor rating is also about the same as Mage and druid armor.

I believe this was to offset the fact that summer armor was very melee class specific.

This was definately overkill though, because only say 1 in 10 rogues (most likely way less) have radiant or any earthstone, let alone full set. Spiritshadow however, along with lower lvl versions, is available to everyone according to their lvl, so most likely 70-85% will have some type of shadow armor, that is, if the person decides its worth the time for something that is impractical fashion for all intents and purposes.

Also, if a mages Redoes their stats to a melee build, they get good use of radiant, but unfortunately, theres no 'caster' build rogues, rangers or warriors can use to help spirit shadow.

This armor was poorly thought out it seems (or they just were afraid of more OP accusations so they will castrate all new armor) the skill that does an ice cloak basically, only is in effect 10% of the time, and then does minescule dmg, and this dmg only works if youre being attacked. But you never want to be attacked in this armor, because the armor value is so small that i (rogue) die twice as fast wearing it (poor warriors its worse for them).

Honestly though, this armor isn't even that good for casters either, diamond adds more focus on all accept gloves, so I see mages wearing full diamond with only SS gloves on.

The only reason I collect this armor is because it looks cool, and i hope that in future we will be able to wear all gear as fashion (without stat bonuses of course) i think admin said its a possibility in my topic that asked for a fashion version of Samhain.

Im only 114 and I dropped mine :/ intentionally however. It served no purpose for me but thats ok I like the look of some frozen and diamond. Id rather have armor than focus partly because I can change my build to a setup that uses roughly no focus because of regen.

Wohooo I finally got full armor sets for all my toons. Yeaaa

Also I have been doing some testing. And for melee classes there are better armor choices but my Druid prefers
His darkshadow to warden and my Mage(111) has been testing the armors on the golums(120) next to the tower. The net result is my two sets are about the same. Diamond gives focus but the spirit skill makes up for it and I only need it with the 2 stars. I may get to sell my diamond pieces after all.
