With the follower rework and the need to make sure they main stat, is there anyway at the Mystic too change what main stat rerolls too when rerolling gear?
Say I’m on my barbarian and I’m rocking the enchantress for extra cooldown and a Nemesis Bracer drops with strength. Is there anyway to force a reroll too intelligence with my Barbarian? Or will I have too have my wizard rebirthed just to get proper main stat rolls for followers?
You will need to use an Intelligence-based character if you want to reroll intelligence on an item…
Yes that’s going to be the method sadly, devs didn’t realy think about main stat rolls if your main stat is different than your followers.
Yeah I was afraid that would be the answer. Wish they would let you have a pulldown on main stat so you could choose the stat for the piece of gear. Would make gearing followers a bit easier, and would have the added benefit of less server lag from multiple logging in and out just to switch stat.
Maybe in a future pach this problem is going to be solved.
I guess by this point most of us are just used to rebirthing your planned main play toon, then your off main stat toons just for stat rolls.
I main DH. I always make DH first, then rebirth a barb or sader (depending on which one i’m more likely to also play that season) and a wiz or necro (same as before) for any int rolls i need to do.
I just do it, every season at this point. It’s a simple enough work around that doesn’t require messing with a majorly utilized mechanic by every player where introduction of bugs would be… not well received.
Yeah, but you are putting extra load on the servers. It would be better too have a drop down tab when rerolling main stat and you could choose which main stat you want the reroll for.
Oh this has been a QoL suggestion since RoS, trust me I get it. I’d be all for it.
I’m just saying if you’re going to do that, then most definitely do not rush it. I’ll spend 6months in the ptr for them doing nothing but Myriam rolls to test it if they need. Before pushing it to live.
Would it be an amazing solution? Yes it would. Are there things to consider? Yes there are:
Server load - you raise a good point, but due to the propensity of rift fishing and bounty fishing people do already, I’m confident they’re able to handle this if current mgmt systems aren’t up to the task that are already handling the aforementioned
Incentive to play other classes - hey, I get it, you love XYZ class and have no interest in others and just aren’t going to budge on it, but there’s still that teaser of well… you made the time to make a STR toon just for these rolls, how’s about you look at some of those STR items that have dropped and answer some questions about how a class you don’t play actually operates… There’s always going to be some incentive to try and break you from your rut. Trust me. DH for thousands and thousands of hours. I see the attempts >.>
Not detracting from group play attractiveness as well. If we get to the point no one is grouping because the stronger meta is perfect follower setups and runs… (this won’t happen because while the changes are nice, they don’t replace the power of a true other player and their build depth) but if you start that perception then you risk losing the group meta, and i can definitely see the illogic in an MMO/Group style game engineering a space where the better play is solo…
Le Bugs - I do not wanna read the forums if they try and implement this and it wasn’t properly tested or fully polished before pushed to live because ppl screaming on forums and now we have a Mystic that can’t reliably roll a main stat… yeah. I would not want to be involved in that fiasco.
Would be nice yes, isn’t critically necessary yet (imo, just one lil opinion) and has a very viable and easily accomplished workaround
Maybe the devs should now add a crafting option on type of gear that you can craft?
There are many ways. The most convinient is haveing a cube recepie that only changes the main stat of a gear, based on gem types or the powders soled by squirt.
