Guild Wars 2

I have Abbadons eye, and Solaria and Lunaria rings. I was wondering what anet would do about these since they do contain magic find. Apparently they just removed magic find from them but gave no boost to the other stats. You know origianlly that including magic find on them factored into how much stat points they gave. Would it have been more if it weren’t for the magic find? If so then shouldn’t they get that now?

I think they are just going to remove the MF.

If the overall total of the other stats is equal or higher than those withtout MF stats, they will just remove the MF stat. Otherwise, for anything that has a 3rd stat with MF (which reduces the amount of stats overall on the item), you will be able to select a new stat on it.

Can anyone confirm what happened to these? (at work :/)

According to the patch notes we should be able to double-click them and pick a new stat combo. It doesn’t sound like that is the actual case. They just removed the MF?

They have said they were going to just remove MF from celestial gear. No sort of compensation.

I can not verify that is what happened though.

I was able to double click my MF ascended rings and select a stat for them. Though I wonder, for the ones that are uninfused version, what happens if I try to upgrade them in Mystic Forge to Infused Version, with or without stats set yet.

I can. I have all the Celestial trinkets as well (plus a zerker amulet) and not only has the MF been simply removed from Celestial gear with no compensation but we’re also being prevented from re-specing.

Anet, this is terribly bad form. What couldn’t you at least give us the option to change?

I’m curious as I am not able to log in just now. Does your new ascended ring keep the unique name it had or does it change to match the new stats? And are they account bound like they say the armor becomes or are they still soulbound?

Two offensive ascended beserker rings!?

Ohhhh I see. I thought they were removing MF from the combo, while still giving players with existing celestial items the option to pick a new combo (as they are one of the many items with MF in the combo).

Wow this just sucks.

Thanks for the verification.

yea we went over this for tewlve pages and they never even addressed it. Celestial gear is getting nerfed for… reasons…

and for some other reason although “Weapons, armor and trinkets with magic find will become account bound, lose their current stats and will gain the ability to be double-clicked to select one of several stat options depending on the item.”

Celestial doesn’t count…

celestial ascended gear is not nerfed MF was not a part of the stats they gacve it you for free.. you still have more stats then the other ascended gea rin total so no need to QQ

Even if this were 100% true. Still doesn’t explain why you cant change the stats on celestial gear.

it is 100% true.. because you didnt buy celestial for MF reasons

Tsezar.6950:

How do you know?

Tsezar.6950:

I didn’t make a set of Celestial, but I sure contemplated doing so just for a MF set. I am sure there are lots of people who did just that.

Tsezar.6950:

If it’s balanced without MF, then it’s balanced with MF and they didn’t need to take it off at all.

Anyone else having ascended rings with formerly MF-Stats that are still soulbound?

I thought it should get accountbound, so that I can give them to another char…

Is it a bug?

I have Syzygy (Celestial Ascended Amulet).

MF confirmed gone. My MF infusion is still good though.

Why are you so against people with celestial gear having the same ability as every other MF stat combo to change their gear away from celestial with the new patch? You seem to just be trolling.

It keeps the unique name. I actually didn’t equip any of my magic find ascended rings so they were all account bound to begin with, but once you select stats for them they become soulbound.

I have a full set of celestial armor, weapon and trinkets. I like them enough that I want to keep them. But agree that since all other magic find gears (explorer, travaler + wayfarer’s) were given the option to change, so should have celestials.
