Discussion - 24th Anniversary Augs

[GoldenFrog]

Didn't see a discussion on these - the 24th mission drops one of apparently several Type 18/19 augs.

All have mediocre ac/hp/heroics (ac30 hp270 +7 heroics +6ha/sa.

But each has a perk:

Acolyte's Casting Magic of the Selenelion	Procs Hammer of Magic II on spell casts (6k nuke)
Acolyte's Assaulting Magic of the Selenelion	Procs Hammer of Magic II on combat
Acolyte's Defending Magic of the Selenelion	Procs Hammer of Magic II on successful use of basic defensive abilities
Acolyte's Warding Magic of the Selenelion	Reduces incoming magic damage by 6%
Acolyte's Protecting Magic of the Selenelion	6% chance to resist magic spells
Acolyte's Soothing of the Selenelion	Increases incoming healing by 3%
Acolyte's Ventral Defense of the Selenelion	Reduces incoming frontal damage by 0.8%
Acolyte's Defense of the Selenelion	Increases your AC softcap by 6%
Acolyte's Enhancement of the Selenelion	ac30 hp/end 750 +30 heroics +63 ha/sa
Acolyte's Attacker of the Selenelion	Increases your Accuracy by 6%

Days past I used to know the formulas of DB/DI, AC, etc... but I recon an AC softcap boost or mitigation of incoming damage is a right handy boost.

EDIT: Added Acolyte's Attacker of the Selenelion

For the raiders this gives them a brand new source of proc damage they can add to their ear or back item. For them that will be the only interesting thing about these augs.

The AC softcap augs stack. You can now have:
7% (Raid TBL) + 6% (Group TOV) + 8% (Raid TOV) + 6% (24th Anny).

The Ventral/Dorsal augs do not stack within their categories - but do stack with eachother. The best ventral is 1.1%, so the new anny one is a little useless at 0.8%.

The soothing lines do not stack. Same as above. Anny is inferior.

Attacker line (Accuracy) -DO- stack:
7.14% (Raid TBL) + 6% (Group TOV) + 8.5% (Raid TOV) + 6% (24th Anny)

Defending, Warding, and protecting are embarrassingly bad.

The AC soft caps do stack but you may as well not, the benefit is bordering on unparseable for 1 or 4 of them

Looks like you're missing one on the list:

Acolyte's Enhancement of the Selenelion: 30 ac 750 hp/mana/end 30 to all heroic stats

Thank you, Kookies.

Every little baby step adds up. But for quite some time now, a non-raiding, top-tiered/geared character is solidly overpowered in any non-raid content.

I work to keep my main with the best gear/strategies, but don't have the time or passion any more to spend days parsing and breaking things down like I used to.
His success is no longer make/break due to gear. But kinda freeing 'cuz can now spend time working 1-group raid strategies rather than 6-days for that one drop for a tiny boost (I'm looking at you, Soulfury Embermeer and your shiny Jade of the Ether)

With that(off-topic, sorry) said, I love being up to date on information new things and greatly appreciate your data above (and Eltai's). Thank you.

I have been hording all the extras on my tank to try and figure out what ones would eventually be the best. I don't have access to the previous ones and only have the cloak. Trying to make sure i run the best 3.

Right now i have been using Ventral, Defending and Devotee's Stealth.
