I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”
- Jareth, King of Goblins.
I have a wide range of formerly MF gear and I’m wondering why the armor has so few choices (was totally looking forward to transitioning into Assassin’s armor) while some items truly have the full range of options. I just made an Infinite light and it has something like 3 times as many choices. In particular, the NEW Dire stats are on the armor options list, but Assassin is not. Berserker is there and is generally considered a better choice, so why the omission?
I get it Infinite Light has a million times harder to acquire, but it also shows the limited list isn’t a technical issue, its a deliberate curtailing of what we can do to replace the armor that’s been stripped from us.
Please expand the choices for armor.
Weird – I’m getting different lists on quite a few different pieces. My Mad King gear does include Assassin’s as a choice…
I logged in to find my superior runes of the pirate already stat changed and the price of my choice of replacement stats rune more than I had on me. I was under the impression that we were to be able to choose but the only thing I had a choice on was my main weapon. Everything I was wearing had an upgrade with MF on it and I got auto shifted to stats that would not be my choosing.
Next time I want dinner and a movie. :/
Why can’t i choose Valkyrie stats on any of my Exotic Swords/Axe/ Heavy Armor Pieces/ Spears or Hammers???
I get to choose from a limited set of 6
Dire/Berseker/Rampagers/Clerics/Carrion/Shamans
Like WTF? Why can’t i make my own choice like you said i would be able to.
It looks like the different old stat combos have separate lists of choices. Traveler and explorer do not have the same options.
Not terribly pleased about this myself.
Totally agree… It would be nice to have at least a bit more range on the stats we can choose.
I would also be EXTREMLY happy if the armor were account bound, you know, like A-net promised… here are the patch notes…
•Weapons, armor, and trinkets that had a magic find stat combo have been flagged as account bound and will now allow double-clicking to permanently change the stat combo. This is a one-time ability, and the options are dependent on where the item was acquired. All trading post listings for these items have been cancelled and the items returned to the poster.
The catch is…. If you equipped it when it was magic find… It stays soul-bound and does NOT become account bound. I have no need for the extra gear sets on the characters I had magic find sets for, but I would love to be able to move some sets to my other characters… Why lie to players and say one thing, then do another?
