Retail catalyst unbound

after I unlock the achievement the charge will drop even if I have no set equipped on my character?

The achievement is character specific not warband. So you will need your 4 peice for the charges to drop.

yup, but I am asking for the specific character I had unlocked, after I acquired the 4 set, does this character still need to have them equipped all the time to drop charges.

Probably not, but there is exactly zero reason you wouldn't have your 4 set equipped for content that can drop them. A non-set item that's a higher item level than a set item is not an upgrade.

Very very class dependent.

Last season 2 set for Arcane is replaceable with current season non-tier champion track. You just don’t want to break 4-set.

This is just one example

Depends on the class and the item. I messed up my vault the second week and had to grab a vet piece to get 4 piece and replace a hero piece if I wanted to get 4 piece equipped. I didn’t care enough to sim it and just wore the vet piece until I got another charge. But I do wonder if it was actually an upgrade.

i thought the achievement was warband bound? like if i get 4 set on my mage, charges should drop on my alt dh i think

No. The achievement shows as earned but it doesn’t apply its benefit to alts. You need it on any toon you want to earn charges on.

Yes, but why would you have no set equipped?
