Necro minions aren't the only summons they kill. I've now noticed several times in the Kaineng Overlook strike mission they also kill ranger spirits (they don't die when you get thrown to the lower platform, but they are always on cooldown if you take the zip line up, even though you don't move further away from them than the other way round). Other things to test would be elementals, thieves guild, or any other summon that follows you around. What definitely doesn't get killed are ranger pets and the mechanist golem.

Most likely the gear you can buy for magnetite shards or the gear you drop from bosses

Yea, I know these. And Dragon recipes can be bought from the research notes traders for research notes.

Apparently no non-legendary selectable gear has those stats, so the only way to acquire armour and weapons is crafting or stat swapping. Trinkets seem to only be available through achievements and strike mission rewards (gated behind the spec's weapon collection). You can also possibly craft exotic trinkets, but no idea where to get those recipes (Edit: except for like 3 offers on TP, so I guess rare loot from somewhere). The thing I haven't found at all is a back item with these stats... So apparently they did not adhere to their announcement from 2019 that you could select stats from any expansion you own. In two ways even - if you have legendary gear, you don't have to own EoD to use the stats and if you don't have legendary gear, you can't select them even if you have EoD.

Since we've got the base game, HoT and PoF as boxed versions in our game shelf, I'd like to ask if there will be a boxed (retail) version of EoD as well. In our case I'm asking specifically for Germany, because I haven't found any pre-order offers at any of the local retailers yet.
