I am not sure if this is intended or not, but back items are not affected at all by the effects of applying a Poly-luminescent Undulating Refractor to one of your character’s trinkets.
Therefore, what you end up is a high glow on the character model with awesome visual effects while the back item retains it’s original color, which may seem dull and uninteresting compared to the glow effects.
If it is intentional, I would love to see a rework of the effect so that it can affect the back items as well. It would give a lot of value to the items, despite them not being of ascended quality. I can confirm that the tech is already in the game, as the Warrior F2 Berserker ability turns your whole character glowing red, including the back item, which is totally amazing!!!
I understand that this may not be a priority, given the fact that it is not related to HoT and there are some more important bugs that need to be fixed at the moment, but I would greatly appreciate a rework of the effect anytime in the future!
Thank you for reading!
