I was wondering, yesterday me and my fiancee crafted our ascended back pieces, the quivers with the berserker prefix.
The quiver backpieces hold an offensive infusion slot, which is exactly how we like it, except now we came to the realization that after cashing out a good amount of expensive mats on the backpiece, that getting agony resistance is another goldsink.
We either get the +5 stats +5 agony resistance through the mystic forge for anothet obscene amount of mats (250 T6 mats again… Rlly Anet?). And upgrading it with +5 agony resistance is another 250 ecto, bit over the top right?
Or we buy the fractal vendor one for tokens, which brings me to my actual question:
Is it intended that the defensive infusion of +5 agony resistance costs 75 tokens while the omni infusion of (the same) +5 agony resistance costs 225, while there is no offensive +5 agony resistance infusion?
Making it essentially 3 times as expensive to get the same stats for someone with an offensive infusion slot (quiver) rather as defensive (tome)?
I was just wondering if this is ‘working as intended’ or not before we cash in our tokens tomorrow for 3 times too much.
Well naturally there are defensive, omni and offensive infusions as was announced quite some time ago. There are also various recipes out there already that make various infusions of the above kind via the mystic forge.
Problem is those are expensive again and I was wondering if it is intended that the vendor only has a cheap defensive and expensive omni infusion.
And thus making it that anyone with a offensive slot has to cash out 3 times as much tokens as those with a defensive slot for the same stats :o
