si_mitch Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hey all i am coming from WOW and so far loving this game, I love the fact you could mod orange gear and use it from level 1-50 to give yourself an awsome look. I just have one question thou what is the point of endgame thou i see the game has harmode dungeons, does it have any raids or something similar. So back to the question if you could mod all the gear what is the point of running hardmode or anything else. thanks in advance for the noob question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get better gear as a side effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceX Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Orange doesn't mean it's the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionixx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I could be wrong but the Ops reward sets which have the best stats in the game but aren't moddable. Additionally, some pieces might drop that are moddable so you can tweak them to the exact stats you desire. Lastly, the absolute best mods in any category come from Ops. Again, I might be somewhat wrong but that's what I understood from someone who explained it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzxVirusxzx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I shove enough epic mods into it then it will be.... it will bee.... it wont be, since mod gear doesnt have set bonuses, and the purple set gear does, so its basically the exact same as WoW endgame, you look exactly like anyone else in your class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot, however, replace the armouring mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what set bonuses are. From what I heard there are rare types of armoring. hilts mods barrells enhancements etc.... that when slotted in orange gear with augment slots that players can get stats on par with set gear. Understandeably it is very hard to obtain all that you would need to put this together but for those that want to look unique it is possible.

To get said mods, barrels, hilts, enhancements, armourings etc you need to do Nightmare Mode Operations (drop level 58 mods etc). To do Nightmare Mode Operations you need raiding gear ie - the tier sets. You can't use orange gear at level 50, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't use orange gear at level 50, sorry. your not getting my point i think. yes you have to use that raid gear. get those mods and slot them in orange gear, then you can have your orange gear tricked out. Also there is rumor of a dark purple type schematic for crafting that is super hard to unlock but can deliver some crazy mods....just a rumor though. Essentially you need the raid gear to get mods to customize your orange gear with augment slots and can have gear that has a custom stat build that could potentially be better than raid gear.

Doesn't have set bonuses. Set bonuses are pretty powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcburly Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Doesn't have set bonuses. Set bonuses are pretty powerful. and from what I have heard is you can make gear better than the set bonuses with those mods. Thats primarily the point of them dropping in nightmare raids.

I had a fellow guild mate who was in beta for a long time that told me otherwise and he messed with endgame quite a bit. I guess we will just have to play more and find out. Im sure there are some goodies waiting to be discovered like those dark purple crafting schematics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set gear is the most powerful gear, its a fact, best get used to it now so you arent disappointed later. You can get the same stats on a mod item as you can on a set piece, but you will never have the set bonus on that mod item, so it will always be inferior, unfortunently.
