Illusionist issue

I just finally logged in to the xpac, first thing I tested was Illusionist and GD Item Assistant

GD Item Assist holds all items in a database so its great for storing 1000+ items however I questioned how the Illusionist worked and it appears it works as I hoped it wouldnt -

The illusionist seems to ‘pull’ the gear from your active character only and the stash containing said gear

My DEE Witchblade can only transmog into the gear I am wearing only - it doesnt even pull from my other characters gear they are wearing - the gear actually must be in my stash?

edit: im wrong - works like D3 gotta pull the items out of GD Item Assist to ‘refresh’ and then put them back in and saves the x-mog

awesome!
