Darkness Affinity was a Pay to Play set and so the devs would have been reluctant to fix it even if they knew about the problem.
That's no longer a consideration.
I'm not sure why the defense isn't being boosted. Possibly a bug, or possibly the power is flagged to not receive buffs but we can't see the flag, which I guess could also be a bug.
Awesome!
Hoping for later additions of locks for each slot so we can selectively randomize and colorize.
And also hoping for, when the time comes, asymmetrical chest and legs options as well.
Power Boost abilities have NEVER included Regen, only Heals. Test is down right now or I'd double check, but I believe the AB version does not include Defense, intentionally.
I look forward to seeing how the Shadow Maul change by itself plays out on live. That will give the devs a better idea of where their balance point needs to be with DC.
It boggles my mind that you people are arguing for an annoyance with no purpose whatsoever.
If your argument was "we don't want to spend dev time on this" I could understand, but that isn't your argument.
Maybe you just suck at reading comprehension. I'm not asking for it to be made easier. I'm asking for it to be less NEEDLESSLY ANNOYING.
Also, just because you don't like my suggestion doesn't mean you have to be a dick.
