Devs - Please Stop the useless augments

[Clou777]

Today i used a Duskorb+2 on my Keraunos and it gave me "Charm"+11, now which job out of BLM SMN SCH uses charm? The Augments are random enough as it is without getting augments for other jobs which cant be used on the job the weapon is for. Please fix this.

[Ramzi]

Heh, I'd have to agree. I've used 3 Duskslit +1 stones trying for DMG+ augment on my weapons (dagger, sword) and ended up with +MP on them all 3 times. I could understand if I was using a duskDIM stone that it would give me MP, but slit is melee combat stats. Rage inducing. That's all I can describe it as. Maybe some stones are broken? Please please look into it and adjust.

Oh and also, I've used Leaforb stones on my Acro gear and have gotten -perpetuation cost, and +repair potency on it. SMN and PUP cannot use Acro gear. Something is definitely broken.

like the OP, that was your own fault. -orb is for pet augments.

Subjobs yo! XD

Random augments is one thing, but random augments that can not in any way be used at all by the jobs on the item is another. How about a flash enmity bonus on SAM gear? make it happen SE! (not)

it's your own fault. you used pet job augment item.

Protey, both of your answers are flawed, as each of the items mentioned have a pet job on them. Clou might have been aiming for a SMN augment, but got augments for jobs that are not on the staff, while Ramzi was likely going for BST augments and got augments that cannot be used by jobs that aren't on the piece. Don't be so high-horse. >.>

That being said, I wish they would at least eliminate the augments for jobs that aren't on the item. Blood Pact damage on Linos, for example, should never happen, etc etc.

my answers are not flawed. you could sub smn on those jobs. i'm not high-horse. you are just limited in your thinking. -orb is for pet jobs. doesn't matter if the augment is for the specific pet job you want, because you could have that pet job as a subjob. bst/smn for example.

It's supposed to be for pet jobs... however from what I've seen the only "pet" augments on duskorb on weapons is charm, base stats and bp dmg. The majority of the possibly augments for duskorb have nothing to do with pets at all

"You are just limited in your thinking" is a very condescending reply, so yes, yes you are. That being said, the flaw in your logic is that there is no real benefit to subbing a pet job in today's 99+ gameplay. Yes, I understand the possibility of developer intent, but this intent is ridiculous, and it is because of that we are speaking out to try and remove augments that are mostly useless for the jobs wearing the equipment.

Subbing BST only gets you charm since you can't equip pet jugs, and the use of charming things in Adoulin is next to none. Subbing PUP gets you a level 49 puppet, more than 60 levels below the average Adoulin content, and its only use in the past was to have it for Ob, who is ridiculously easy to solo at our current levels even without changing his frame. Subbing SMN is the only one with any minor bonus between Auto-Refresh and maybe something like a niche Garuda Hastega casting. With so much dependent on skill and avatar level, having it as a subjob is an extremely weak choice as compared to say, SCH or RDM.

Again, I'm not saying that the Devs didn't do this intentionally because "oh, they may sub X pet job", because I'm not psychic last I checked. But the point of the forum is feedback, and the feedback is that it is ridiculous to get repair potency on a piece designed for Beastmaster when /PUP is mostly useless.
