Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Amador]

Seriously. Static stats would be the best. The Augment stuff how it lists +this and +that in yellow letters looks really cheap, and ghetto :|

[Karbuncle]

The only problem i see with "Static" updates is that pretty much every piece of Relic is pure sh*t, either +1 or NQ, so every armor +2, unless they literally rewrite every single stat on the armor, would still suck and be absolutely useless to get.

Where as Random might make something awful into WTF amazing (Read: Adaman Feet for BST).

So Im with Random, Only because I'm quite sure "Static" buffs would be very unappealing and since most relic armor is pure crap as is, NQ or HQ, so again, unless they literally re-wrote the armor it would be junk, where as again i point you to synergy augments, Random Augments might actually make wtf-awful armor semi-decent.

That my opinion. I vote Random, on the assumption Static upgrades would be garbage. I would sacrifice "knowing my goal" in return for "not getting pure shit"

Static, Please. Caveat: They've got to be as good or possibly better then Empyrean +2 or it's not worth getting except for a few situational Pieces.

I still use multiple pieces of NQ/+1 relic on jobs that have full AF3+2. They have plenty of situational uses, so honestly I'd love for any sort of augments to focus on enhancing those uses and JA/Spell-specific boosts rather than generic stats.

[Karbuncle]

With Static upgrades I'm just seeing those Situational peices becoming a little better for their "Situation" while the other 85% of Relic remaining bad.

I don't deny there are some current ones with some very limited situational uses, I'm only expressing that if they're going to put time into Relic+2, I dont want Assassin's Armlets to get HP+30 CHR+7 Treasure Hunter+1 and Ennmity+5.

Then they're really not worth upgrading.

or Assassin's Vest to go from AGI+~4 to AGI+6.

(P.S I know you weren't talking to me but i can see someone using that argument so im just getting out the response now)

(P.P.S I also kinda don't want this to happen at all, if any of the +2 are good, Im assuming you'll need the +1's first, which is going to flood those Particular dynamis zones, worse-more is that the prices of currency will likely go up a hefty amount due to demand for Ancient Currency to get +1 upgrades for the +2, It'll really suck for people working on Relic)

Static, please and thank you.

[Atomic_Skull]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE IT STATIC

[Atomic_Skull]

Random stats are already used for abjuration equipment and seems entirely appropriate as such.

No it was never appropriate for anything, ever.

[Karbuncle]

Meh, Enjoy you DEX+7 Enmity+5 Assassin bonnet's +2 no one will work on >_>

Finally, a SMN Sig wearing good armor...

Most of the reasons people are giving for static are awful. Repetition will dump tons of currency into the market. Anything that generates more relics is better.

[Karbuncle]

I'm just working off the assumption Static upgrades will be garbage. They're working off the assumption "Not static" will be so random they expect it to be like Fields of Valor (which it wont).

Wish we had a little more info on what kind of bonuses we might see with each choice...
