  • No OoW augs for the leg slot?

    I was planning out some augs to make, and realized there is no OoW aug stone (the "flow"/citrine/sphalerite/etc) that is equippable in the leg slot. Is this on purpose? And if not, do we know if it's being addressed?

    Thanks,

      Yeah the flow stones only have 5 slots that they can be put in (FACE, NECK, BACK, SHOULDERS, and WAIST). Realized this last nite when I tried to put the new aug I got on my beasty and realized most of the slots already had augs in them. Oh well, I won't be changing my back slot now unless the item is worth more than 4k (cost of the distillate).

      Also, how come the OOW augs use such a high distiller to remove them? The cultural augs even have smaller distillers.

        I know the devs acknowledged this at some point. I thought they were going to make Titanite (I think) leg too, but apparently I guess they forgot.

          The devs' acknowledgement of this was before the addition of Type 9/12 DoN "crystal vendor" augs from Lavastorm. I've always assumed that they "solved" the lack of an OoW tradeskill aug for the leg slot with the introduction of these DoN augs.

            I doubt anyone uses 100% OoW tradeskill made augments. So I'm sure they just figure you would have a DoN or other augment to stick in that slot now days.

              Actually, I currently use three for the lack of ability to get the melee focuses that they provide... Cleave III, Fero III and Improved Dodge III.

              The melee side of the augs has a decent amount of usefullness up until people can pick up Discordant+ Stones.

                And I actually plan on using several, for a couple reasons. As a non-raiding caster (and mostly soloer), most of my focus items are DoN augs, with nothing but the focus on them. So it's better to give up the DoN augs for OoW augs, and get a focus along with another stat or bonus, all in the same slot. Also, with the use of GM armor that has a slot 12 anyway, that makes a nice place to put the OoW augs. Granted, I can put a DoN aug in a slot 12, but the OoW augs are nicer, I'd rather put one of those in there.

                  "I use Three" and "I use Several" does not equal 100%, meaning every single augment slot (except legs) is filled with OoW augments and now you want legs for another slot.

                  I have 4 OoW augs myself ( http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=4796 )

                  I have about 10 augments that could go into leg slot.

                    Most caster focus effects from DoN are eclipsed with auto-rewards from DoD...from single group missions.

                    Spell haste - Check out Elder Longshadow 4 (hard).
                    Mana Pres. - Check The Last Migration (normal). If you're all detrimental (wiz, mag, nec), instead look at 69.2 (hard).
                    Improved Damage - 69.1 (hard) for magic, 70.2 (normal) for ice.
                    Ext. Enhancement - The Lost Gnomes (hard).

                    Just a couple of suggestions for what to look for And while you're at it, start filling those aug slots with hivegrime stones!

                      That's all well and good if one groups. I mostly 3-box, or group with a wizzy friend. All toons 66-67, so not really ready for DoD missions yet.

                      But thanks for the info.

                        That assumes you either have aug room or are wearing a full set of gm. I have a bag and a half of nice augs in the bank, so slots are powerful. As far as GM, I know with some of the available DoD and PoR drops I won't wear wrists, only still have the hat because my cleave3 is on tourmaline. I have better legs, and the chest and gloves are replaceable. The additional power of the extra slots is good, but the severe slot restrictions do hamper OoW augs. I have Fero3 on a celestine (waist, 3% SS) because that's what I happened to have at the time. Haste on a titanite. It can be made to work, but the reservations about stacking up on some specifically (spell and dot shield come to mind) aren't really an issue if you give them one or more slots to go in, even if only one of those is a visible armor piece.

                        edit: You can get improved dodge 3 and a 10attack/38% haste aug from the longshadow arcs as well.

                          I personally have a huge number of OOW augs. The only reason I don't have Kyanites on my Cleric is because I put them on my Paladin (and vice-versa regarding Sodalites).

                          If Howlites, Citrines or Spherelites were equip-able in the Leg slot, it would free up room for another Flow Stone Aug for many people... especially Citrines, since I would dearly love to throw +12 (total) more DS onto my Legs.

                          I don't have many other Augs because I solo almost exclusively. My play-time is limited and the hours I play don't have a lot of people online.

                            I sent this in as a question a week or so ago. The reply was that there are no plans on adding leg slots at this time.
