Leatherworking loot, too!

Continuing our crafting parade for patch 2.4 is Leatherworking. Leatherworkers get a total of four sets, covering a myriad of class/spec combinations. There is a physical DPS set for both Leather and Mail, as well as a healing set for both of those.The -of the Sun and the Sun-Drenched sets cover healing. The -of the Pheonix set covers the Mail DPS, while the Gloves of Immortal Dark and Carapace of Sun and Shadow handle Leather DPS. A couple of those are quite a mouthful!
As with the other tradeskills, the gloves of these sets require Sunmotes and the breastplates require Primal Nethers, so be ready to put some effort into acquiring these pieces. A lot of Wind Scales and Heavy Knothide Leather goes into these as well, so you may want to get a head start on those. Most of these pieces are very heavy with red sockets accompanied by relatively useful socket bonuses, which is ideal for most of the classes these are aimed for, though not all. For the classes that love their reds, this is a pretty sweet deal. For everyone else? It's not like you need those bonuses, this gear is impressive without them.
If you have any interest in these sets, hop on across the jump! Once again, my thanks goes out to Boubouille of MMO Champion for these images.

Wow, that DPS chestpiece looks like a viable replacement for my primalstrike chestpiece!

I know! all that extra AP overtakes the 3 piece set bonus as well. Thats some really nice gear.

I hope they add Ele shaman set, that said, does anyone know why some are BOE and some are BOP?

All epic crafting is now a mix of BoE and BoP.

Note that all the gloves are BoE and all the Chests are BoP. I think this is a theme among epic patterns. Some parts (boots, gloves, wrists) are BoP, but you have to BE an epic LW to get the most obvious part, the chest.

Damn, that Embrace of the Phoenix is amazing! Plus, it doesn't need any Sunwell materials! I hope some kind bod sells me that pattern for less than one of my lungs...
