Iron Banner

The Iron Banner is back! Lord Saladin has returned to the tower and is selling some essential gear. Both the gauntlets and greaves that are available max at light level 36, meaning these armor pieces can either replace or fill the gap of missing raid gear. Also, weapons earned or purchased through Iron Banner can be reforged, thus giving us the ability to reset the weapon with new random perks. For example, I earned the Silimar's Wrath through a random reward. I was able to re-roll the perks on the gun to point where I had both Crowd Control(kills with this weapon grant bonus damage for a short time) and Reactive Reload(reloading this weapon after a kill grants bonus damage for a short time) which, when used properly, gives me stacks upon stacks of damage bonuses.

Iron Banner is going to be the main focus of the week. Raids will in no way be neglected, but I am going to begin assembling teams to compete for gear and glory.
