Artifact Belts and Weapons - Best in Slot as too powerful?

Artifact Belts are Belts which can be upgraded similar to artifacts.
At green rank, they have +1 Stat of your choice and 2 other stats at ~181 stat each
Presumably at legendary, they will grant +4 Stat and 2 stats each at around 400-600?
Will we see characters running around with 32 CON or 32 DEX? Is this good for balance, particularly considering PvP or pre-module 4 content?
Artifact weapons are weapons (non set) which can be upgraded like artifacts.
They boost one of your at wills of your choice by ~5% at green rank, presumably ~20% at legendary rank
They also have T2 stats additionally, which will likely be upgraded to "T4/5" as the weapon is refined
I don't mind having artifact belts and weapons, but personally I feel that they are too powerful and absolute must-haves for every character, both for PvE and PvP and will be noticeably stronger than existing and new non-artifact versions.

Yeah, on the live stream today the dragon HE's, while not meant to be particularly challenging, went down very quickly. I'm wondering if these artifacts are targeted toward PVPers and how PVE is going to hold up to power creep given the slow pace of new dungeons and the fact they shouldn't be targeted at max geared players anyways.
Don't be so melodramatic. Rangers were the end of neverwinter. Artifacts were the end of neverwinter. Black Ice was the end of neverwinter. The Tenacity patch was the end of neverwinter.
Adapt. Maybe get your own. It's not that hard to imagine.
WTB Class Reroll please
if they drop off Epic Heroic Encounters and they are anything like Mod3's then we can all kiss that option goodbye.
also +4 to any stat is a huge advantage in pve and pvp a bit over the top
yeah, but i dont want to think that way, cause GWF now dont do burst damage, i just can't think how much hp will a GF have, maybe 65-70hp ... gizas christ, it will be so unbalanced, not to say , devs can't balance the calsses at all atm , been 3 weeks and i dont see any balance between them ...
oh BTW: weapons dont have weapon slot, onyl offense slot..
THIS IS MADNESSS
A GF WITH 70K HP !?!?!?!
THIS UPDATES WILL GET BACK THE REGEN, THAT PEOPLE WHINE ON MOD 1-2 ,
can't belive , i just already see hr with 45k hp with alot of damage...
Thing is, only those who have saved up a ton of refinement will have them. And anyone delayed getting into Mod4 content will have serious problems catching up.
The other thing is that for PvP, the queue doesn't care if you got Mod4 Artifact belt/weapons or not. Having people with those items on your team will turn the tide on its own.
For PvE..well, let's just wait for the zone chat to only call for people with artifact weapons/belt to "be eligible" to run basic T2s
I'm not opposed to Mod4 gear being better than previous gear, but this is a huge jump compared to before or even the new armor sets which while having T3 stats, are fairly lacklustre and won't replace HP/HV/AoW/Swash/Black Ice.
you get +1 ability score , if you max a char with full con, havin a legendary belt +5, you know what that means for a GF , no ?
Yeah we need 20 seconds more to kill them :-D
I would be also interested how do we upgrade these. I dont see a explicit distinction between them like other artifacts.
Are they Union, Stability and so on?
What are the stats of them when legendary?
I like the idea of upgradeable equipment btw.
Yes ofc but I prefer to think about the increase of DPS in my Destroyer for PvE :P, finally bye bye to the blue items!
BTW, you lead me to think... can we use these artifacts in the companions meaning that can get double ability score? +5 and +5? :eek:
It looks like we might upgrade them using professions or the campaign window somehow because of these -
But its weird because they show 'Progress to next rank 0/560' maybe a new mechanic is being added to upgrade them?Maybe even something like the chillforge in IWD with a whole new crafting tree to go along with the campaign?
That could it be. Maybe a Dev can bring some light on this?
Yeah that's probably it , you need to feed RP in like usual but to upgrade them you need to use those epic crafting materials and maybe a new profession .
If you wanna see the upgraded version of the weapons and belts go to the preview gateway...there is an artifact equipment tab

Link, please?
I found it, nvm.
Well then...those might be a bit broken OP (belts). The weapons (at least for GWF) seem mostly fine as far as the effects.
O.M.F.G.! CW Artifact Weapon Legendary , Second offence slot only added at legendary xD .
Legendary belt of Intelligence , Defence slot only added at legendary, RP farming all day 24/7 xD
Edit: The HR artifact weapons are insane o.O.
To be honest I'm GUESSING ( before anybody piles into me) that this stuff is going to be heavily Cash shop orientated ,if so bye bye NW.
Tried GC
Tried Safari
This beta has more problems than ESO had in week 1, trying to get one page up is a miracle in itself
I understand some of this can be OP but at least it's something to keep the game interesting, and tbh it's only right after a month or plus of black ice farm to craft a set that's borderline awful for almost all classes.
