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

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.

Worst fricken part about rouletting is having your materia disabled. The materia you melded to get the good stats in first place..

Ohhhh boy! Hereeeeee we go! My 2.34 second gcd I am accustomed to is now 2.45 time to cast Holy! Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng. Good thing my MP is regenerating extra 65 MP per server tick. Not certain if I could clear this content without that boon. Twelve forbid you are doing solo content in Overworld as healer and benefit from direct hit.

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.

Yep, looks like the emergency maintenance was not for this. But I'd still be careful about getting any of the alliance raid drops for the time being, as it still looks like the stats are just swapped around from those two sets. Crafted upgrades can be fixed with more aphorism and gil or crafting materials, but we only get one raid drop a week if you need any of them.

My guess is that this (same as the fix for the WHM and BRD bugs) require changes to the client. Those can't easily be pushed due to console certification issues (while possible for emergency reasons this isn't).
Also they need to figure out how to handle already acquired new gear that has been melded already where the fix would result in faulty overmelding.

Going from desirable stats (crit / det) to worthless ones (tenacity / piety) seems like a kick in the junk. I can't think of another time that has happened. Generally when you "upgrade" crafted stuff it keeps the prior stats.

They are supposed to be fixing this and yeah not sure why it happened but they recognize it's an issue.
