Ok how about this:
Static, but not synergy.
Magians maybe?

I would definitely take a Magian upgrade of current armor. In fact, that's what the vast majority of the NA playerbase was hoping for when TotM was released in the first place =/. To hell with random synergy augments.
I wouldn't mind random except the system they use for it now there is a scale of usefulness from 0-10 and most augments get less than 2. Get that up to at least 5 or go with static.
Would we be augmenting the normal relic? or the relic+1? I never bothered with relic +1 because the stats were never worth the currency.
how can u specialize if u dont know what u will get? -_-
having a ToM for every piece of gear letting u choose what to put on what piece, is specializing
Let me rephrase this. What's better ? Killing Dragua 100 times exactly to get the WoE weapon or giving dragua 1/100 drop rate on verethragna ?
I have a feeling it is the latter and I am in the same boat as well. I hope a major overhaul of the COP Dynamis areas is also on the way. Considering that the real prize is the +2, I don't think it would be a bad thing if +1 pieces became much easier to obtain for solo/small group players.
And on topic, I vote for static as well. While it is a great feeling landing that amazing random augment, that feeling is easily overshadowed by the frustration of having spent countless hours getting Water Resist +7.
It would be more interesting if given the option to do one or the other perhaps in the manner of. The random stats are random but can be higher then the static one.
Let's say the static stat for enhance berserk in III, but when you try the random enhance route for berserk it can range from I-VI. In this manner the player can choose to take the safer route in which they know when they'll obtain their reward or perhaps they can take a chance and attempt to go for a random chance in hopes of obtaining a better result then the random stat.
Static please.
Static with numerous options of what to choose for each piece.
I don't want to see any monster specific, or time specific bonuses. 95% of evolith gear was garbage and should never have seen the light of day.
I'd like to see interesting stats like refresh +1, magic attack bonus +5, attack +20, enhances job ability, converts damage taken to mp +, additional effect: restores hp, tp, mp, str +15.
go big or go home.
