Devs - Please Stop the useless augments

[Kensagaku]

Why would they have had to create a tertiary type of stone? Granted, I'm not a programmer, so I don't know the load that goes into it, but why wouldn't they have something like simply limiting stone results based on the type of armor or weapon? We already know they have different bonuses based on the equipment piece used (i.e. you can use Leafslits on Acro but you won't see TA or Dual-Wield, where you'll see it on Taeon), so why not make it so that only the pet bonuses that can apply to the jobs equipping the piece can be put on? Granted, I see the problem that comes on on Yorium gear, the only set that doesn't have pet augments, but with the wide number of general augments, what harm would it do to have them snip a few that don't make sense?

Even more, why are you arguing against trimming unuseful pet augments that apply to jobs that can't use the armor piece? I see no reason it hurts you to have Avatar Perpetuation cost removed from a BST axe or BP dmg+ removed from Linos.

there's no benefit. Nobody ever subs those jobs and there is pretty much nothing to gain from doing so. BST is the only pet job of the four that is in any way functional as a SUB due to charm being based on BST main level and not sub level. But that only helps you where there are charmable mobs. This does little but get in the way of trying to get legitimately good augments you can use.
