Well, if MAB+3 on the old staves was the cap then that's the cap on the new ones. The system has stat caps based on the level and slot of each piece and any augment that exceeds those caps is avoided. There are no negative augments that don't include some positive stat augments (which would void the augment because it would exceed the 4-stat cap for that piece).
Not all that epic compared to Chatoyant staff of epic from the JP but...
I was proud of this HQ3. Do wish that the VIT was MDB, but I'll live with this.
NQ augment.
What a terrible night for a curse. ;_;
Fuck. I gambled on the Huginn haub since the other 2 HQ bodies have DA, TA respectively. Thought that SE might follow a pattern and put QA on it.
Don't even know if I won anything anyway.
Oh god, thats terrible....................................fuckin g SE
Yeah we guessed QA for Huginn....wtf, even haste would have been ok for Hybrid builds.
I was expecting it to be WS damage, but hoping for Crit dmg/rate
I booted up my old computer to look at the augment collection.
Relevant Caps:
MAB - +5
Stat - +3 (so we're over the cap and stat augments are impossible)
Magic Skill cap - +5 (Elemental, Healing, and Dark)
MAcc - +4 reported on a single Aquilo's Staff
HP/MP - +25 cap (+25/-25 would probably be possible)
Irrelevant caps:
Acc/Atk - +6 cap
Delay-% - -3%
Crit Cap - +3%
DMG - +2
Resistance cap - +17
I'm making a Bravura and don't have a LS to work on... anything really. So for me it's a good upheaval piece when my GAxe's finished. At the very least it's an option for MT Aftermath turtling that doesn't suck complete ass like trying to DD in a Mekira's.
Mekira is still a better turtleTP piece for WAR unfortunately. I'd love to AFK in Huginn though!
Not by leagues. I have both though so buh. I had also been hoping for a really radical augment. Haste, WS Damage, Crit rate/dam. I'm mean shit, look at the other pieces. How you gunna tell me the body of that set should have the worst augment? Even Store TP would've been good as a sidegrade to augmented Adaberk. God they're so stupid. I started out disappointed but still fairly psyched about winning anything, but the more I talk about it and look at that +5 MDB the more I want my rank 3 pick back.
Wouldn't Valk body with TA still be better for Upheaval?
Yeah. It would.
It's too shitty to be acceptable really, can't believe they would do this to the hardest to obtain body :\
