I thought the greater power affixes gained through better gear was supposed to replace the less powered ones. I have a 23% basic skill attack speed and went to add it to a new piece of gear and it was saying it would change it down to 20%??? More subtle detail BS i have to tend to now? I thought the gear sorting was all souped up and better? Is it a bug or did they take 2 steps back? And the tempering… wtf. I roll the same thing like 4 times in a roll most of the time and totally brick any new sweet gear i find.
Although there are some pretty cool new ones for rogue such as basic skill always cold imbued among others.
Was the aspect on a 2hd weapon or an amulet? Did you actually salvage the item with the better aspect? Just simply picking it up doesn’t add it. Tempering is tempering. I was mad about it at first too but it’s whatever. Just a way to make you farm more gear. You have to be mentally prepared for a bricked item because it’s going to happen often.

Yes, I salvaged the Aspect ( sorry I meant aspect, new to the game somewhat) from something along the line, then when I got a better piece of gear I went to add that aspect but it was less then before. And no, the aspect wasn’t on an amulet or a two-handed weapon to increase the power, It was on a pair of Gauntlets.
Sounds like maybe you mistook it for a higher value aspect than the one you already had. I haven’t seen anything anywhere about codex upgrades not working. I can’t say though without having seen it. Good luck finding a max roll!
An Aspect can drop on gear with any rating/stat on it. However, when you salvage it, your Codex gets the next numerical “step” up. For example, let’s say you get an aspect drop with 26% Movement speed, but your Codex aspect is currently at 22%. The next “step” up is 24%, which is what you get in the Codex for salvaging your better one.
This was true last season as well. Worth checking the Codex before salvaging, in case you’d want to wear the new piece instead.
Negative. Your codex gets the value of the aspect you salvage, if it’s an upgrade.
If an aspect has a range of 10-25 and your first salvage has a value of 25, that’s what your codex gets.
That’s true for S4 and S5.
