With the release of patch 1.20 the team plans to change it so we can dye gear any color we choose independent of attributes added. But it has me pondering the effects on our current gear.

Example:

<Patch 1.19>
Electrum Monocle (White)
Intelligence +4 Magic Accuracy +5
With the current system adding a color gives +5 to Magic Accuracy for this particular item. However, once 1.20 drops will the item remain the same or be converted without the added attribute? In other words, will a pre-1.20 item become

<Patch 1.20>
Electrum Monocle (Increase Magic Accuracy) (White)
Intelligence +4 Magic Accuracy +5
or

<Patch 1.20>
Electrum Monocle (White)
Intelligence +4
I'd like to know if there's reason to pursue colored gear right now, or if it'll be all for waste when the piece of equipment will just be converted to a colored variation without the added attributes.
