can you get:
muddy crystal
crackling crystal
balmy winds
maelow's stem
guardian spark

Aka any of the pvp ones that have endurance + a dps stat for us casters...

[woopedazz]

This can't be right? Do we get refunds on them?

Screws many of us royally

[Arianna]

God damn it.

Daddy, did the other lessers that drop from the Rift Raids themselves get any form of buff? (God I'll be so pissed if the Rift Raids got overlooked entirely. Again.)

[Caldern]

Did stats really need even more of a creep to separate the haves and have-nots?

For that matter, could they make it perhaps a bit less sucky to acquire the inscribed stones?

Upgrades/changes happen in mmos. Did Blizzard give you a BWL set to replace your Molten Core set? Yea.

[Guaritor]

Did the ones we already bought get a retroactive buff? or are our old ones going to be obsolete?

if they're the same name/item they probably just buff all across the board

I would assume so since they are the exactly same items. T1, T2, raid gear all got upgraded across the board...

[sarianne]

That is a weird and unexpected change.

Those ess are already better then the blue ones by a good deal.
And a reasonable time investment included.

The drop ones are slightly better, and ensure a likely larger time investment then even those.

The greaters suck and cost too much for how little most of them give.
In fact, those are all now CLEARLY better then the greaters.

Did the drop ones get buffed too? if so, they will be easier to get, and better...
Strange change.

[Arianna]

It looks like the dropped ones were buffed as well, but if someone else could check or compare to live, it would be appreciated.

Radiant Inferno has 17 Int, 16 Wis and 21 Crit.
Oceanic Force has 16 Int, 14 Wis and 13 Spellpower.

It looks like those are the only two drops I have on the PTS, but I do not have those ones on Live.

Edit: The Greaters remain the same. Lmfao. Ridiculous.

Hmm, so quickly finish grabbing my lessers on live before the patch when their price more then doubles... Feel bad for all the fresh 50s looking to gear up.

I am a sad panda. I just bought the archon greater.

But we will always need more lessers. I am building a new set for water resist.

They probably think 10 stones is too cheap since you don't have to upgrade them.

as someone who hasnt been doing raid rifts but has been 50 awhile...i wish i had the sourcestones to snag them...they were already almost twice as good as the blues, now they will be practically triple the power.

Its like plaques of achievement all over again

i checked real fast, and xanadu has oceanic force at 14int, 14wis, 10sp
and radiant inferno at 15int, 15wis, 17crit
so it looks like upgrades all across the board for the epic lessers. i'll check the blues from live and alpha.
