I see it getting sold all the time but haven't been able to narrow down where this stuff is dropping at. Anyone willing to share this information with the community?
As I believe, based on demand, that dropped gear is better than crafted which means ZMO lied to their fans / customers I request that either ZMO make every set craftable or release which mobs drop each set and exactly where they drop.
Why on earth would you want magicka furnace gear? It's been nerfed into the ground. They "adjusted" it to make it on par with the warlock magicka gain except they missed a couple of major points
a) you have to be getting hit by melee to make the magicka furnace proc vs warlock were you can initiate the proc by using up your magicka. Total gain for magicka furnace in a 1 minute = 30% of your max magicka. Total gain for warlock set in 1 minute = 33% of your max magicka. And Warlock is a more reliable proc since you can dps with it and furnace might not proc unless you get in harm's way.
b) magicka furnace requires a 5 piece bonus vs warlock using a 3 piece bonus. Warlock allows much more flexibility in setting up your other pieces.
Magicka furnace is just an inferior set at the moment, more so because it's only found VR1 level.
The time to farm the early dropped sets like magicka furnace has passed. Now that there are many who have 3-, 4-, 5- traits researched, just get three pieces warlock (neck, ring, ring) and fill the rest with a crafted set depending on your build.
