Backlash is still a fairly new niche, and couldn't reasonably have its support prioritized over other niches and elemental gaps that were already in the process of being filled, some being very long standing. I do have plans to flesh it out more with quest reward ideas, but it'll have to be interspersed with other niches rather than a quick succession of Backlash rewards.
Definitely good to hear.
Now, I say this fully suspecting rereleases are not as simple as "flipping a switch", and this isn't even specifically aimed at you, but I feel the need to expand the stated interest.
There are some playstyle niches that are served almost unilaterally with premium items, like the aforementioned Doomlight. There's also Chaosborn and Hollowborn to consider. While it's nice to hear these playstyles are planned to be served in the future, I do think there's an issue with having these items with noted under-served niches having their options seemingly on a rotation with no indication of whether or not these armors can or cannot return. The process of having to design armors for these niches will have to be a long progress since, as noted here, support for niche playstyles can't really be prioritized over more gaping holes in armor support, like Ranger in general or Warriors and FD lacking Ice Armors. However, in the interim of dearth of support for these playstyles, I'm strongly in favor of all the prior sets of these armors being rereleased when they rotate in so that those interested in these playstyles do have an option to feed into these playstyles.
