U73 Preview 1: Loot

[Putti]

Those +0 Quality Deception and Quality Resistance looking real juicy

Based on the continued use of sun/moon augments, can we assume there will be more of the same abusive loot mechanics as MD? If so I won't be buying it.

15 Con on a Level 4 Helm?

and the legendary version of the same helm only has +14 Con.

These look like random item enhancements thrown on random items with random values.

What I've noticed is that loot has moved away from set bonuses to augment based boosts. Presumably to remove players dependence on sets (possibly a good thing), increase the sale of tool kits (they are still too expensive IMO), while stealth nerfing player builds all in one go.

In a way, this heavily penalizes veteran players that spent the time to acquire rare loot with set bonuses.
