JediQuaker Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Why are there no high rating legendary augments? Is there a plan to release them in the future? Well, there are higher-than-before-Onslaught ones. The fact that they're not specifically rated 306 doesn't matter. (Or to put it another way, what if they had the same stats but were said to be 308 rated - would that suddenly make them even higher level than 306 armor?)

I was just curious why they weren't labeled at the same item rating as other end-game gear. It seems that they are planning on introducing new high rating legendary augments at some point and I was wondering if there was anything concrete about it yet.

nyrkverse Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 nothing concrete about it afaik but it's plausible new gold augments could be introduced when NiM Dxun is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they are planning on introducing new high rating legendary augments at some point and I was wondering if there was anything concrete about it yet. The toppest augments have been *rated* below the toppest armour / weapons / lefties ever since 5.0 dropped in 2016, maybe before. 5.0 raised the top armour to 242 and the top augment to 228. 248 armour was added later, and the top augments went up to 240. Ossus raised armour to 258 and did nothing for augments. Pity the poor colour crystals, though, stuck all the way down at 136. (That's by design. They admitted that they shouldn't ever have added stats to them in the first place, and they froze them at 136 / +41.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dready_tv Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) With the credit sink now already outrageous i dont think community need another credit sink The "credit" sink is far from outrageous, especially if you know how to "minimize" the cost by using more armorings/mods/enhancement rerolls on amplifiers etc after reaching a certain point where the price gets to high. I have more or less every single armoring amplifier at max for full sets with not that much credit spent. And to maximise only 1 character? For that the price is very reasonable. As far as i've understood it with the release of Dxun Nim there will be a higher tier of gear and regarding augments i'm not sure but previous changes in gear they have also added new augments, lately anyway but never had the same item rating as the actual gear. But people won't be needed that gear tho unless you actually are doing Dxun Nim so at least that won't "force" people to reroll new amplifiers due to new gear being available.

So it goes back at least that far, to Shadow of Revan launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion_Starkiller Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 nothing concrete about it afaik but it's plausible new gold augments could be introduced when NiM Dxun is released. ^This Following BWA's previous patterns, it seems likely.
