Hmm.. I don't know. I would certainly welcome some changes to the sub stats along these lines, as mentioned we are basically just looking for Crit>anything else which is pretty stale beyond the journey of acquiring them.

What do you think about "armor set" type bonuses along your ideas here? For one I think it would be useful if relic armor offered more, since likely half of the community doesn't even bother with relic gear anymore. But this could be extrapolated to all the armor sets. Maybe individually X is stronger than Y, but when you combine the whole set (or say 3/5 of the set) you get other bonuses (like the ones you mention) which you'd have to consider. Of course it all has to be meaningful, but I think something along these lines would be a bit easier and quicker to implement then a complete overhaul.
