Should I take Affinity augmentation twice? I personally wouldn’t in a vast majority of cases. HOWEVER, I would rather get Attack Boost on my gear since L4 gives 5% affinity. Since Attack Increase is roughly worth 3 Attack Jewels, and Affinity increase is worth 3 Expert jewels. However, ultimately, BOTH CHOICES have an OPPORTUNITY COST of “3 small slots”. If it has 10 or more affinity, take Attack Increase. If your weapon has negative to zero affinity – take affinity. If your weapon has high affinity – take Attack Increase once if you can.Īttack increase is better on non-elemental weapons, as the gem BOOSTS the small gain from it (however, a lot of the good ones have negative aff).Īs a general, and I mean it, general recommendation. If your weapon has negative affinity – take Affinity once if you can. I cannot tell you what to get as each build is different. Sorry.Īffinity Increase versus Attack Increase augmentation?

So a 180 second run goes down to 162 seconds or so. Like I said, with perfect play, Attack Increase would (very loosely on average) improve your kill time by 10% AT MOST. I would only skip Health Regen if I was going for the speediest of speed kills where shaving a few seconds would make or break my record (if it even meant that much for me). If you sheath your weapon even ONCE MORE than if you otherwise didn’t have it to drink a potion – it’s already better than attack increase.įor a vast majority of hunters on a vast majority of hunts, Health Regen will simply obliterate the efficiency of ANY OTHER AUGMENT, hands downĪll of my weapons have at least ONE level of Health Regen.
