Couldn't help noticing that the tooltip now says my legendary golden dragon's tooth now only gives a 2% boost to rapid shot and rapid strike, down from 10%. What the actual ****?

    Is anyone else seeing this reflected in their gear?

    ...if and when you have the weapon already.

    Well, will give me a kind of reason to pull my two alts (down from four - those that so far don't seem futile to level) through the SpinRise grind. Let's see if I'll really manage to do this...

    I was actually on the fence. I frankly didn't want to spend all that AD on greater marks. Now I have to change because of this. I also noticed yesterday that the stats for Ensorcelled gear were about equal with legendary golden dragon stuff. 4.5 million RP, and the levelling gear is comparable. Wow.

    Golden dragon gear is obsolete. No reason to keep using it after you get your elemental fire weapons.

    Not at legendary it wasn't. It is now, because they nerfed it into obsolescence a few hours ago. Before that, at legendary, it was still better than anything that wasn't at least an epic elemental fire artifact.

    ...bnecause you say so, because you read it on the internets, so it must be true, huh?

    Do the math - you lose the set bonus from GD, and if you're at legen-fekkin-derry orange you also lose the second slot...

    There's a certain upgrading level which you have to achieve in order to really profit. Plus sometimes you'll first want to have the moolah to get your class feature boost back...

    Yeah it was changed with the launch of Mod 6. I noticed it and thought the change was due to scaling and that it would be back to 10% for new legendary weapon.
