Challenge Gear to get the nerf-stick

Ran across this one from NoWorres on the mobo and don't know if its been discussed here:

Quote:
Challenge Gear:

The current plan is to simply have all those items be named gear that can't be crafted on. With everything we've done over the past year to bring a new consistency to Random Loot, Crafted Loot and Named Loot, having a side system that has several effects AND can have new scaling effects crafted on in addition, is simply too powerful.

This change would switch any effects that have scaling versions, into those versions, and leave any more unique effects as they are. It would also result in all tier 3 items having a colored augment slot.


I'm not sure if this means existing gear is going to be converted or if this is just "going forward"

I do know that I'm going to slam some extra stuff on my Cannith gear while I can Tongue worst-case scenario it gets nerfed later.


EDIT: link for anyone who cares:

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Seriously, though, not a lot of people were doing this, but you could easily add a couple effects to the Tier 3 heroic items and make some really nice twink gear.  I don't think the usage was widespread, but it's a shame that it is going away.

Yep, I am planning to go on today and jam Feather Fall, blindness ward, etc on a few items. With only +3 crafting space there's not a lot of room, and turning an ML13 item into an ML20 one does not appeal to me.

On the flip side, adding augment slots to the heroic versions might also be an improvement.

No one needs that warning, it is literally all he does on the DDO forums.  I'm half convinced he is a Cordovan sock, because no one can be as stupidly fannish as he.
  

No, let me be Frank.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

Meh. Deathblock at ML 12, 1d6 elemental damage at ML 16. No mobility, elec., neg., or fire absorb, no melee alacrity, no crippling, no deception, tendon slice, metalline, aligned, no lesser vampirism, etc.
Aug slots can be had anywhere.

Challenge gear was able to adapt somewhat to the loot changes; now that's going away. Soon challenge gear will be just another entire set of old outdated loot.

ML16, Upgraded to Tier3 (craftable)=> Masterful Craftmanship

Best case scenario, BTC Cannith gear becomes BTA

Now you see why I used the qualifier "might".

Other than the ML reduction shard, the crafting slots were not very useful. A red slot will be more useful, since putting something in it will not raise the ML, but losing the Masterful Craftsmanship still bites.
