Hey there Everyone.

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.

This is a good direction.

Any chance on getting empty stones stackable?

hmm, there r guys like me who acutally like Overload the way it is!

"set bonus stats" sounds suspiciously like just the bonus stats to me. thanks for taking the last bastion of hope away from the purists. A broken skill that could have got us out of a couple of sticky situations now turned into another minor leveling buff that we don't need.
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.

Sorry - but the majority of Players did not.

If they dont like it , the dont need to use it , there r bunch of other usefull Cyborg buffs ,

Um, Attunement is a Purist Skill mate. Nothin' about Cyborgs here!

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.

ok maybe i am reading it wrong then. 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?

It should work on every Atribute Stat [not enhancements or resistances] that has a value.
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.

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).
