It pretty much is.

Just curious then, do we know the bonus amounts, or is it just speculation they arnt that good? I honestly have never seen any info on this, thats why I ask.

We have, and it's not much (you can try them on the test server yourself). And that's not an accident, SE said themselves that they never intended to make them great. They wanted it to be a sign of achievement more than an actual upgrade to the weapon.

Afterglow effect: This player has no life and has sucked the souls of all their friends.



Does it still not benefit the wielder of the weapon? Maybe if the effect was "completely nullifies damage of everyone around them, and boosts their attack and accuracy up to 999" it might be worth it.

Its same as Sphere, I remember that much, you get nothing, people around you get the bonus though.

Correct, afterglow does not affect yourself, and furthermore it's overwritten by party members' own aftermath effect.

That I had heard, proving the point even more so that it is worthless ><;

Why did SE even make this?!

My favorite part is how afterglows do not stack with and are overwritten by aftermaths, so you most likely can't even use the afterglow to help the friends who got it for you.

I guess if you're selfish enough to abuse your friends to get 250 marrows just for you it clearly means that you don't care about getting them any relic weapons of their own, so they won't have any Aftermath to overwrite it with. Maybe that was the point SE was trying to make? Afterglow as a consolation price for all the pour souls slaving away for the one guy with his shiny weapon.
