Update 64+ Preview 1 Feedback: Chronoscope Loot

[Cordovan]

In this Preview, there is loot for the Update 64 Chronoscope Revamp. Find it in the Test Dojo, and feel free to talk about it here!

(If you're looking to talk about the U65 Cat'Astrophe loot also in this Preview, use this thread instead!)

OMG someone post the loot already!

What items do the new set augments take to craft them?

 

[Ying]

Four new augment sets:

 

[Mordenkainen]

meh

 

[Vox]

HP% isn't bad for itemisation, but where is the artifact elemental absorb set?

Four new augment sets:

I know this is a long shot..

Are there any lore or insightful spell power augs?

 

[QuantumFX]

OK, attaboy where it's due, I really like the addition of new Heroic/Epic items.

Is the intention for us to have to upgrade all the items to Legendary versions via the S/S/S system? I ask, because I thought you guys decided that was a bad idea during Saltmarsh due to missing Mythic/reaper bonuses.

 

[Tonquin]

Infested Chainmail and Infested Scalemail are both still hevay armors with the exact same stats. I can only imagine they were intended to be light and medium armor versions of the infested platemail?

Ah, as the ancients say, "oopsie doopsie."

Legendary gear (all ML30) --

Armor:

Rings:

 

[Matuse]

I am really liking the extra slot options for getting Might of the Abishai, and several of those items are quite nice.

White Abishai belt in heroic and epic, is there a way that the armor bonus could be made natural armor bonus? As it is, I don't think anybody will ever see that normal armor bonus kick in. That's more of a 2008 stat for casters, but robes have armor now (and a lot of casters use various means to wear heavier than robes these days for the MRR/PRR)

 

[Ying]

Legendary Belts:

Necks:

All items follow the Heroic -> Epic -> Legendary revamped "S/S/S" upgrade system.

Heroic to Epic requires 50 Fractured Slivers of Time and 5 Greater Tokens of the Twelve
Epic to Legendary requires 100 Fractured Slivers of Time, 5 Star Fragments, and 250 Threads of Fate

ETA: Deleted. Already addressed above by Tonquin.

Is there no intelligence gear or

 

[QuantumFX]

Is there no intelligence gear or

There's a Robe (Enhancement) and a Ring (Insightful).

 

[DBZ]

Yeah originally but don't see any listed all stats insightful and quality except for intel

Must not like all those over powered arch mages lol

 

[QuantumFX]

Diabolist Leather and Hide armors would make good additions. It's disappointing that three classes with pets can't really take advantage of the set bonus. Edit: Also, perhaps a Diabolist Belt with +3 Quality INT as an option to help out DBZ?

Also, if you're looking for a "Raid only unique item" to add to the mix, how about a Legendary GoMF that features set bonuses that aren't part of the S/S/S system? (ex. Forbidden Knowledge, Mists of Ravenloft, Feywild, Dread Isle Curse, etc.)

 

[Lazuli]

If suggestions for old gear are accepted might I put forward replacing the clickies on scorched bracers and helm of frost with fire lore and ice lore, respectively? The clickies aren't exactly all that useful in the current game vs spell lore.

Yeah, please.

 

[Mordenkainen]

Any changes or mention on the Hellstroke GA? or GoMF?

 

[Mordenkainen]

Old gear seems exactly the same as on live.

For pity's sake .. GoMF I can understand but won't anyone think of the unloved (except as a cosmetic) HellStroke Greataxe!
