Gunbad cloak change

I didn't see any feedback on those feedbacks.

Tanks are already one of the hardest class to gear :

Gunbad Armor Change
We have decided to swap out the Redeye Cloak for a Redeye Belt to be in line with the other armor sets in this tier bracket. Solithex will now drop the Redeye Belt. The item stats of the Redeye Belt will be the same as the Redeye Cloak. Players may trade their Redeye Cloaks for the Redeye Belt at a merchant inside Mount Gunbad if they do not wish to obtain it through the new means, though this merchant may be removed at some time in the future. Additionally, the Redeye Belt has been added to the Armory section of the Tome of Knowledge, so when you equip it you can see the unlock (the cloak did not have this previously).

Players who have the Redeye Cloak will not lose it, or its appearance, however in the near future this appearance will not be obtainable. It will be re-added during future PvE reworks in appropriate content more fitting for a Cold One skin.

You just broke a build for early RR tanks (2H or S/B) that was BiS until Sovereign with this change.

I don't think removing the Gunbad Cloak is a good idea. It was a really helpful piece to help new characters gear during their Conq/Vanq phase, especially for tanks. I don't necessarily see why the set has to mirror Conqueror piece by piece. What is the advantage of that?

If the goal was to simply add a belt option, it could be done without removing the cloak. Simply put the belt as influence reward or add a quest to obtain the belt.

In general I'm also against removing the option to obtain gear other characters already have. In this case I don't think anyone uses Redeye Cloak for their BIS setup, but it's still a bad precedent. One that started when the Skaven Ring quests were removed a long time ago now.
