Enhancement boosters and catalysts

[pyrocide]

Hi all,

 

Quick question regarding enhancement boosters and catalysts in tandem.

 

As I understand it, catalysts work on AT sets (Frozen Blast, Brutes Fury, etc) to increase their effectiveness. While doing nothing for superior sets (Armageddon, Hecatomb etc) yet are still usable on them. Assuming this information is correct, I should be able to boost the level of a AT IO to 50+5 and then catalyst it for more effectiveness?

 

Does boosting to +5 and then catalyzing a superior overwrite the +5, in the event superiors actually can benefit from catalysts? I see a bunch of catalyzed superiors on the AH for the same, maybe one or 2m more than the regular versions. So I am just trying to figure out the best course of action. I bought some catalyzed superiors but am unable to boost them, assuming due to the nature of the attuned IO. Are there plans to allow this?

So Catalysts are used in 2 ways:

 

1. convert a standard ATO or WO to it's superior (Very Rare) state

2. convert an none ATO or WO into an attuned version

 

Neither of these can be boosted.

 

if you use a catalyst on a boosted set the boosts are lost.

 

Never, ever, attune/catalyze a Very Rare or PVP IO - it's pointless
