The new Augmented gear pieces have vastly different substat allocation, unlike before

[Eraden]

I HOPE they will be keeping the old stats and just boosting them. It's already bad enough that you can't overmeld them. I have purchased three pieces already and of them, only the weapon was an actual upgrade.

No overmeld sucks hard, I traded 5 Weapons just to notice that there is no overmeld. So I Traded for 10 GS more my nice overmeld Weapons. :-( *still feels sad and bad*
I felt me so bad that I went to the new Raid and died a bunch of times.

Aaaand it turns out it was a mistake and they're swapping them around tonight. Really glad I didn't use my weekly alliance raid drop on the tank chest piece which will now have the bad stats.

Nope. I just checked the stats of the augmented gear that I had obtained. There are as of yet NO changes. The stats still suck.

Unless you are raiding savage a few drops of one stat vs another really won't make that much of a difference.

On the other hand I am guessing they are doing this on purpose so different routes of gear obtaining are wanted and useful *shrugs*

have a blessed day kupo <3

This actually resulted in the augmented Healer chest having no piety, which is a big gain since the next best thing is the p4s chest piece. The ilv600 tome chest piece is a straight downgrade to the 580 Normal one.

Sort of hope they don't "fix" that.

[Deceptus]

Yeah i just checked my healer top and boots and the crit/det is now crit/piety and crit/spell speed. That is wrong why would they do that?

You will take the worthless Stat (Piety) and YOU.WILL.LIKE.IT

Just stop this nonsense. There's people in this game that like to perform properly at all stages, regardless of if its a savage raid or not.

Normally I would disagree with this, but as someone who likes to periodically test out if I am good enough to even consider Savage raids, yea the smallest of stat differences matter, for even someone like me at a midcore level.

Augmented crafted gear has had different stats than before augmenting in the past, but it's rare. I remember it a very long time ago on one or two pieces, so I always check.

Yup. I've seen this since they started it during HW. Many pieces are just the base piece with an increase to main stat, VIT and the two sub stats. But a few have different sub stats entirely - just like in the OP's photo.

I took a quick look at the other tank body pieces. Many already have Crit/Det as the sub stats. Crafted body, 24-man body, raid body all have that. I think they felt some piece should have had skill speed. So they made it the augmented crafted piece.

True kupo <3.

All I mean is there is no need to fret over the matter. In the end it makes little difference. <3 kupo
