New champion gear is great and all but wont mean anything if they don't make a way to level there quality up faster to open the slots to equip them, I have some champions who are still in the blue or epic levels with only 2 of the 3 slots available which are in use,not to mention at this point most people are so geared or far ahead in progression that the order hall missions really don't offer any benefit at all beyond maybe gold and rep tokens to try for the new paragon chests, and the expansion is nearly over. Now if the order hall and missions are going to be used in future expansions then yes maybe these will be useful but untill then there is little point in them being added at this time.

I can only second this. I’m sending my followers on missions all the time and I wondered why only two equipment slots were unlocked!

From what I can tell, the missions being offered are typically above my champions' ilvl... which means they're getting less experience (half, I think?) from each mission I send them on. This is really making it difficult to level them. Add in that XP missions have completely disappeared. Bodyguards level much, much faster if you're using them and questing.

So, all but one of my champions have all of their equipment slots available, and I have a bag full of items that I can equip. Obviously the combat ally equipment is only good to use for that designated champion, however, I am wondering if there are any suggestions on how to best utilize that equipment....are there pieces that counteract each other for example?
