Hey I'm outfitter and only recently started on the expert research line. So far I bought one Epochos recipe.
 
But then I watched down the tree how the Advantus would be stat wise and surprisingly I only saw tank and healer gear.
My outfitter is a dps stalker soooo hmmm... Did I miss anything ?
 
Are all the profession trees like this ? (also have a lvl 49 spellslinger that crafts weapons)
 
Thanks :)

That's normal.  If you put in DPS stats, it'll come out as DPS gear.

Oh ok thanks, but then what about the specials ? Do those change as well ?
 
See this tank chest for example  :mellow: ?
"Special: Adaptive Armor: Taking damage grants a 50% chance to gain a Defense for 3s. Defense: Increases Armor by 142. Stacks 5 times."
 
Or this healing chest ?
"Special: Heal Bomb: Dropping below 75%, 50%, or 25% Focus restores 500 health to yourself and 4 allies within 10m. Can only occur every 25s."
 
How can we get an Advantus DPS chest with a DPS special ?

			Specials don't change.  The link above only applies to Weaponsmith, because weapons have a fixed AP/SP ratio and rather than double the number of Weaponsmith schematics they implemented an adaptive system that flips the ratio based on the stats given to the weapon.  Since armor doesn't come with that AP/SP ratio there is nothing to flip.  The silliness of some of the specials is why you often see people using armor from the Expert tier instead of Epochos or Adventus, since you can hit the stat caps with Refined Starshard Power Cores and not waste any charge on pointless Item Specials.  I don't know if the new stat caps that came with Drop 3 change this significantly, I'm still locked out of my Expert Armorer until they fix it.

			I have had this problem with My Stalker as well. it doesn't make sense and looks like the DPS set was just left out. i would really like to see this fixed BEFORE the next drop. It cuts a whole section of the game out for me because it isnt worth grinding all of the dailies to get gear that isn't for me,

Ha ok thanks guys.
 
Well yeah so far my stalker/outfitter is in blues with non-epochos/advantus, and all was crafted before drop 3, so everything I craft now is much less of the main stat anyway...
