Two things this evening.
First :
Attunement skill for Purists has been changed due to player feedback. It now does the following :
+0.15% per point to set bonus stats providing the set is Psi-based.
This provides a leveling buff for the Purists.
Second :
We shall be releasing a few more Loyalty items soon.

Any chance on getting empty stones stackable?

one question: does this work on "all stats" present in a set? So will it work on HP as well if the set has an HP set bonus for example?

It should work on every Atribute Stat [not enhancements or resistances] that has a value.I actually like the fact that the purists now get a stat boost..

So if there is no health stat in the Set Bonus - there will be no boost from this buff :ugeek:
Note: This buff will become more powerful. When used with a high Class Set, the percentage will scale with the Set Bonus.

Actually purists always have this (it just ... did not work correctly recently ). And ... do you (as a cyborg) consider Overload as a stat boost skill?I actually like the fact that the purists now get a stat boost..

This is a new skill. The original Autnement was so unpopular that we altered it to this new buff.Actually purists always have this (it just ... did not work correctly recently

Sorry - but the majority of Players did not. They saw the original Attunement as a waste.hmm, there r guys like me who acutally like Overload the way it is!
I thought it was good skill - especilly when used in conjunction with Crystal Thought.

I don't understand the recent drive to cripple the purists, it has been concerted and sustained. Fair enough, MS was overpowered and needed balancing. Fair enough we're supposed to be the hardest to play. But now we've been so savagely crippled as to be almost unplayable. Leveling machines yes certainly, but you can forget about hunting elites and HK's. We'll have to let the other classes make all the profit from them now. Just as well my faction is happy to supply sets because I can't afford to buy my own.

now turned into another minor leveling buff that we don't need.
A Leveling Buff that boosts stats is exactly what Purist Players have asked for. We have given them a Buff that boosts all Attribute stats on the Set bonus. This is quite a powerful skill.

Ooop, sorry, my mind just got away. Yeah, this is indeed a new skill that seems very useful for leveling.This is a new skill. The original Autnement was so unpopular that we altered it to this new buff.Actually purists always have this (it just ... did not work correctly recently
A bit of confirmation here please. I, when first read, have the same thought as of PointyHair: ""set bonus stats" sounds suspiciously like just the bonus stats to me" (the bonus you get when you have full set). And the "if i maxed out the skill and was wearing the changizi set it seems like i'd get 14 atk, 3 def, 3 arm and 18 dmg, does that sound right to you?" does seem like the HK bonus only, not the full set stats.
If it is the set bonus only (got when you wear full set), then it is a bit ... thrifty I guess . But I really hope the real intention is the whole set stats

It appears to be set bonus. If I were a purist I would certainly prefer the old Attunement (working of course) to this one. I think this is a case of "be careful what you ask for". I think the vocal purists on the boards asked for stat boosts instead of Attunement. It won't affect me, but if I were a purist I'd much prefer the Elite buster skill Attunement used to be to what it is now.
It really can't be on the whole set or purists would be game-breakingly powerful. The whole point of not having as many stat point bonuses is as an offset to having a skill that allows ignoring of some mechanics (MS). Now, they've tighted up the use of MS (and gone overboard on Elites imo) and linked it to Psi weapons (I do hope stackable uncharged shards are on the way for that) but still it comes with a deficit in stat points from skills. So, it's on the set bonus not the entire set stats (otherwise they'd have all the bonuses other classes get AND MS).

thats 10% change of not using 30 ammo (=1 mind shard) =~ 27 ammo per hit. ..... sure thats worth spending 150 skill points in it.especilly when used in conjunction with Crystal Thought.
(and then i forget the ammo used in reloading further shards, but maybe you could reload - hunt to load - hunt for what you actually want to kill.)
If I were a purist I would certainly prefer the old Attunement (working of course) to this one.
NOOOO....... i dont want reload mindshards after every hit, it wast even working for 1 combat. (so 2 hits turned into 2 hits 1 reload.)
This version you can actually cast on yourself for more as only some 'special' conditions (HK's/elites (only if 1 hit with old-attunement), since now MS isnt working on that anymore.) .

Why is it game-breaking powerful? Can you list what purists have to go against HK / Elite / high def creatures?It really can't be on the whole set or purists would be game-breakingly powerful.
I am not sure if soldiers have many people pulling their back when they asked for their overhaul, but sure cyborgs and purists have a lot!!! Luckily cyborgs pass through, and now purists ...
Btw, cows, the psi set lvl 200 have set bonus of 20 atk & 40 dmg, I definitely don't think the new skill give bonus of 15% on those stats, right ?

I guess while I'm waiting, I can touch a little bit on the what's what for the purists. Obviously if this looks how I think it looks, then purists aren't going to be none too pleased with this newest "tweak". It really is hard for me to believe HCS would honestly think purists wanted a stat increase at the cost of their biggest damage dealer(well, had attunement been working that is). "Oh come off it Kyle. They said attunement was worthless!" Oh come on, really guys? I mean, isn't it possible they meant attunement was worthless in a general way? Isn't it possible they would rather put up with it's existence, than limit their elite and HK killing options to zero? Isn't it possible.. they would rather have a stat increase AND a way to deal with this game's toughest opponents? - Is it possible for anyone to ask themselves questions like this BEFORE they tweak something?...
On the upside, a good friend of mine in my faction is a purist, so I will be able to point and laugh at her when she hears the news. So.. there's always that.
[Note - Even as is, attunement can obviously be a powerful stat booster in the future. Any of us who are familiar with that "other game" know sets can have very high bonuses(ie. the destroyer set), so this all could work out in the end. But right now? Purists are going to be hurting.]
