mod 7 gear

dwarf75

with mod 7 coming at august 11 we will get a new main hand and off hand artifact gear and new sets. possibly mod 8 will launch at november and this artifact equipment and new sets will be obsolete. So the items we will bu using for only 2 or 3 months will u spend ur RP to refine them?

Luckily I missed the last x2 refinement week, so I still have the first artifact weapon. Leapfrogging is much more cost effective, so if they are going to have new artifact weapons in mod 8 then I have skipped two expensive weapon refinement modules.

Besides that, they put life steal as one of the stats for the cleric weapon, life steal for clerics is a pretty useless stat. So hopefully the future weapons will have better types of stats.

I havent done math yet, but with current rp prices (which will drop, since mod 7 is going to be huge AD sink) - 70k/peridot stack and assuming that its going to be rp x2:
Total rp needed: 4 645 200
RP needed if fed lvl 60 weapons to green new weapons: 1 161 300
RP amount from stack: 100k
Stacks needed: ~11,7
AD needed: ~820k
~1 640k AD for a set
Im currently sitting on rank 8s and cost of upgrading rank 8 to rank 9 is about 500k (judging from cheapest rank 8 cost and cheapest rank 9 cost on AH), so I can afford upgrading ~3.3 enchantments for weapon upgrade price
Rank 8 to rank 9 upgrade gives me +100 stats.

Summing up:
In my case cost of both weapons upgrade is as high as +330 stats invested in Enchantments.
As I said I havent done math yet, but from initial look it seems that new weapon set will boost my character performance comparably of getting a few thousands of stats - especially the new set passives.

Conclusion:
Even if its just a temporary boost that'll last few months its going to be so huge that I probably will upgrade the set anyway.
