Thanks guys.

Yeah I just crafted some and it fixed the tooltips: http://i.imgur.com/HuNCG.jpg Anyone know if I'm stuck with this crit+alacrity version or if there is a way to get the shield+defense one as posted above?

That's because I am comparing it with the one in the crafting window. Does your one in the crafting window show shield rating and defense rating? That's what Scorpio needs, not bloody alacrity and crit

It's not fake. The comparison tooltips are broken in this game.

Then give me a purple tech staff that has more stats and less damage

So I just spent yesterday creating a bunch of tech staves through armstech in order to learn the purple quality one, since you know, logically a purple quality level 50 one SHOULD be better than a blue quality level 50 one. I finally learned the schematic and was extremely disappointed to find out that the purple one was worse than the blue one that I acquired from the daily Belsavis quest in every possible way. According to the comparison tooltip (I know that the alacrity and crit isn't showing up on it) the purple quality one is SIGNIFICANTLY worse in every possible way. A little bit let down I just decided to live with the fact that SCORPIO will be stuck with a blue quality item while the rest are all higher, until I noticed the rating on the purple one. Why does the purple one have a rating of 124 while the blue one has a rating of 116? The 116 is better in every say by a long shot, so shouldn't that have a much higher rating? I realise that the weapon on SCORPIO should be treated as an implant and the other part slot should be treated as the weapon, but you can at least make very good purple quality implants, so let me make GOOD purple quality tech staves! http://i.imgur.com/3prrz.png
