Blizzard has removed this option now no longer able to Salvage Legendary Armor at the Blacksmith. What do you do when no longer able to get Coiling Wards from the Blacksmith. The Occultist still states need to get the Coiling Wards at the Blacksmith. Blizzard screwed everyone using Aspects at over level 40 for your Character.
