@ Devs: Spirit of the Deep gear, is it completely cancelled?

[yubaraj]

"Spirit of the Deep gear was originally planned to release with the expansion but .........Therefore we'll keep all the new 'Spirit' stuff under wraps 'til other power-related impacts of the expansion have settled."

Above quote is from the new expansion thread.

I kindly request for a clarification from devs whether it is completely out of picture or is it still coming?

We already have legendary and mythic for more than 3 months probably. Arcane is coming but how long will it take 3-4 months maybe. How many will probably able to get Arcane weapon/gear? Very few I believe.

I know spirit gear will be replaced with new Arcane, also Arcane will replace Mythic gears. So what is the point of not releasing spirit when it was already been designed.

I know there are flaws with spirit gears and will not be as good as Arcane. At least I may not have to pay 100+ mil for the new arcane or maybe I wont be able to afford it until next year. Until then give us something that the poor player like me can obtain cheaper and make it better with hard work farming kills for our new spirit gear.

In addition, Isn't the set items suppose to be in the middle if not better than mythic? I am curious how it can be useful after the release of Arcane.

Also, I am hoping Deep spirit set won't meet a fate that happened with promised banished weapon in the past.

Thank you for your kind attention.
