Valor Gauntlets -1

[Tekki]

Any PLDs got them, particularly Aegis PLDs? I just got them today and want to know if the Sheild Bash is further enhanced by the HQ

[Tekki]

All signs point to no enhancement. As far as I know, there is no AF -> AF+1 upgrade that makes any given effect more potent. For example, upgrading rdm hat does not give you more fast cast, upgrading ninja boots doesn't give a faster running speed.

I don't have Valor Gauntlets +1, but I've tried every single item with "Enhance Shield Bash" effect with Aegis, and it doesn't seem to increase the damage. I personally doubt that HQ Valor would increase the Stun rate even more (not like the enhanced effect is good or anything, it sucks donkey balls with strawberry sauce when you need it most <.<)

Just as a note, BST AF+1 boots give a larger boost to Reward than the NQ AF boots do. It's a very small boost (and relic is better than both) but the point is, this is an AF upgrade that boosts something listed only as Enhances Effect of Reward.

Don't quote me on this but from what I've been reading, for the most part AF+1 does not improve upon an already established "Enhance: JT or JA" on the NQ AF. However, there's still a few odd pieces where the AF+1 does show an improvement, one of which I know is AF+1 hands for RNG. The extra "Enhance Barrage" gives another shot, for a total of 7, over the NQ (which does not have the enhance barrage).... and then there's the BST mentioned already.

This is a trick question, because nobody can equip Valor Gauntlets -1 to test it out.

I wanna know who the douchebag is that put the curse on the -1 gear and the crafted abjuration gear, seriously

We crafters are responsible for cursing abjuration gear, those synths just piss us off since we can't sign the final product.

I have yet to find any relic +1 that has it's effect buffed over the NQ. Chances are greater that the effect is gone(whm pants before last update) than them being enhanced. It's an extra stat point or two and a white border.

That's regular AF+1. Most AF+1 "enhance" effects are either longer or slightly more potent, but not all(or the effect is to minimal to be tested, like ACC bonus on MNK head)
