Thank you.

In terms of rewards, players will be able to acquire items that are even more powerful than Ambuscade gear and reforge them to be equivalent to Malignance gear, which should help fill a gap in current gear progression. Currently, we hope to implement this feature sometime between summer and autumn of this year.

They're not even close too this, but they've done everything they said they were going to do, so it looks like these week see several reforge upgrades until like maybe +2 or so. So they are probably worth getting now. Reforge has never implied augments, so I would lean more towards upgraded version.

If you dont get them now you'll be riding the struggle bus when they do add harder mobs you have to team up for to upgrade.

Also remember THEIR idea of "equivalent to malignance" is not YOUR idea of "equivalent to malignance". "Roughly Equal to" is not "the same as".

They will definitely not have STP and PDL that are the same or better, they won't be malignance+1

Before your bolded part, they said this:

I dont think this stuff excels over Ambu+2 stuff. Would be nice if I could store this ***if the expectation is that people will prefarm with the expectation of reforging in 6 months.
