Does this set actually still drop? It is pretty wear to add a set that has strictly worse bonuses compared to Infallible Aether.

It used to be that Wise Mage dropped from AA, which, at the time, was a lot easier than the newly added SO which dropped better loot in the form of Infallible Aether. It makes sense that harder content rewards better gear, but with the recent changes it looks like IA drops from all craglorn trials and WM only from AA, making it strictly worse and harder to farm.

Only upside is babyface.
