So I noticed the Armorsmithing list is much much shorter after the update. Most sets are now Tailoring exclusive, but some are just outright...gone. I have provided a rough Armorsmithing list, please see Elynsa's post for Tailoring recipes removed from your list:
Tailoring
Missing from Armorsmithing:
80 - Black Pearl/Pirate (except shields) | armor can be crafted with Tailoring
80 - Noblesse
80 - Heremon
80 - Skeleton
80 - Armageddon
70 - Everlasting including Godwing Targe and Sturgeon Shield
70 - Mhara | has been combined with Apocryphal
70 - Royal Guard / Imperial Guard | crafted with Tailoring
70 - Phantom Mail including Kraken shields | armor can be crafted with Tailoring
70 - Nighthawk
70 - Champion (except the shields) | crafted with Tailoring
60 - Silent Quemielle including Save the Queen and Grand Cross | armor crafted with Tailoring

60 - Fallen Angel (4 pieces were craftable) | crafted with Tailoring
60 - Frostheart Hunter | crafted with Tailoring
59 - Phoenix Horn Helm

57 - Kakrish | crafted with Tailoring
56 - Queen's Glory (combined with Queen's Light Glory) | crafted with Tailoring
52 - Royal Cadet | crafted with Tailoring
50 - Frost Peak | crafted with Tailoring
47 - Fallen Rock
47 - Deep Maze
44 - Nightmare | crafted with Tailoring
44 - Laghodessa Slayer | crafted with Tailoring
40 - Scavenger | crafted with Tailoring
36 - Heavier Red Tyrant
36 - White Tyrant | crafted with Tailoring

And yes, the two Pirate shields are the only level 80 items on my Armorsmithing list.
Hilariously, Tailors still need Spider Lord to craft Laghodessa Slayer, and Spider Lord is crafted with Armorsmithing.
Comments
This sucks, as many of the lv.80 weapons are good looking, so are the armors. Black Pearl/Pirate, Armageddon armors look the best in level 80's gears imo.
Not a very wise move... They are basically throwing away many of their weapons and armors art designs to the trash can... +sad
You can still pick up many of the items though. You just can't craft them.
Just a side note, my Premium Rookie tunic and pants that I kept since the beginning of my time in Vindictus still look the same. The new ones can be bought from Clodagh, but they look different. For example, the pants aren't shorts anymore; they will cover the entirety of your legs.
Someone was saying that now crafting would actually be viable since NPCs don't have most of these recipes anymore, but I guess it's all down to RNG. I don't know what to call this other than a joke. I cannot believe this went live.
Stuff like fallen angel, kakrish and silent quemielle seems to have been moved to tailoring for some reason.
Now missing from Tailoring:
80 - Armageddon
80 - Heremon
80 - Noblesse
70 - Everlasting
70 - Imperial (merged with Royal Guard?)
70 - Majesty (crafted with Armorsmithing)
70 - Apoc/Mhara (merged and crafted with Armorsmithing)
36 - Red Tyrant (merged with White Tyrant?)
36 - Spider Nest Silk Hat
26 - Beholder Mask
24 - Vampire Face
Sets where only some pieces could be crafted because of armor proficiency, like Dancing Blade, seem to have been made Armorsmith exclusive.
EDIT:
Did a quick comparison for weaponsmithing, but it's easier to miss stuff with all the unique names and what not. Also I think the weaponsmithing wiki may be missing stuff more than tailoring, but I can't remember if Winged Heart was expertise craftable even before this update.

I see. In that case I feel a tiny bit better +haha. At least it's not like those weapons/armors are completely removed. Well but it took away the fun of crafting though. I was motivated to continue unlocking crafting levels by the fact that I could actually craft something I want eventually. And now many of them are changed to drop only and removed from crafting. it's all down to RNG then...
For the Premium Rookie tunic, looks like they went for more protection? jk XD I still prefer the sort version.
