Jayshames Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ok, I've come across several items now that have useless stats, only just now have I decided to make a thread to ask why?.. I've forgotten there names but heres one example; http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/2705-614/Tonena-Munitions-Corp-Revolving-Blaster-Cannon As far as I know there's no one that can use an Assault cannon that uses Cunning.. I've also seen a fair few Focus' that have shield rating which is blatantly pointless. Any reasons why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 They're probably just randomised stats since they're just green-level items. I wouldn't read too much into it. It just makes me chuckle whenever I see one because no player that has the main stat of Cunning can use a shield or an assault cannon and no player that uses an assault cannon can use a shield.

BenjaminminU Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 i wish they would remove these items, i am fed up with picking up assault cannons that have useless stats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrandt Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Most MMO's tend to remove these randomized stat items after a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miorum Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Vendor Trash. Filling up the Item Database, or maybe some are leftovers -- Elara Dorne (Trooper) used to be a Cunning based Healer even though her entire character would say otherwise. It does annoy me as well, though. There's not that many good Offhands to begin with if you aren't a Jedi/Sith and most of them aren't decent for your class. In my case... +Aim Scatterguns? Owch.

Vegabond Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 There are a few Aim sniper rifles too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomitako Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Cry a river, build a bridge and get over it. If you see these items, pick them up and sell them. From this point forward, you may read these items as "Free credits while leveling". That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiety Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 What about the crafting items that have different names, but the same stats in the same armor type? I noticed in synthweaving, there is some light armor items that are just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayday Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Someone said that Kaliyo and Corso used shotguns with defensive stats in some ancient beta. I've seen a few medium pieces with shield on them so i don't know if there was a tank tree somewhere or shields worked differently in the past.

Ashu-ri Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I've seen focus' with Strength, as well. JK's and SW either dual wield or use a shield generator. Obviously, a JC or SI isn't going to want strength on their focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
