<p>The devs appear to have largely foregone inherent procs on raid gear this expansion, in favor of a more in-depth red adornment system.  Unfortunately, this decision, in combination with the limited number of war rune slots available, has resulted in many DoV raid jewelry items being downgrades or sidegrades or equivocal upgrades compared to SF jewelry.  For example, on my inquisitor, I am loathe to give up my Bracelet of Crystalline Effigies and Repleneshing Band of Deep Worlds in favor of proc-less DoV jewelry that won't accept a war rune.  Furthermore, because I am using my old ring, I cannot get a 2-set of DoV rings, and so I'm using the HQ ring, as its crit bonus proc (one of the few inherent procs in DoV) makes it better than one DoV raid ring alone.  Yes, the DoV jewelry has a lot of HP and resists and more potency and crit bonus, but I really don't want to give up those procs and I don't feel like I need the stats so much.Additionally, there are several war runes that I like and would like to be able to use, but simply cannot because there aren't enough slots available for me to include them in my setup.I would like to see either an expansion of war rune slots to include some other jewelry items or the return of inherent procs to jewelry in DoV.  Perhaps implementing this change, alone, would imbalance current content (putting aside the current stamina debuff issue), but I think it should at least be implemented in future DoV content releases.</p>

<p>If I remember some of the discussions on procs, this was done becuase proces were getting out of hand and over powered.</p><p>They removed the procs, so you had to make decesions on what few procs you really needed or wanted and to allow them to control the power of procs.</p><p>The lack of reds slots was intentional, the reduction of procing items was intentional.</p><p>I don't see them changing this when it was intentional to begin with.</p>

<p>I recall a concern regarding priest ward procs, not one regarding procs in general.  Priests are already using all of the available DoV ward procs, and adorning multiple copies of the same red adornment proc does nothing under the current system, so I think priest ward procs would remain as constrained as they are now.</p>
