RECAP: Next week we are getting an Ascendant Voidcore, which will allow you to give an extra 9 ilvl to an item of your choice: 298 for mythic piece, 295 for crafted.
I've been trying to plan ahead for it: the best stat upgrade you'll be able to get is probably going to be on a weapon since they provide the most stats.
However does anyone know if Ascendant cores will work as a slot uprade, or as a pure one time item-upgrade? If its the latter, the biggest upgrade possible on paper would come from upgrading a two-handed weapon, effectively upgrading 2 slots worth of stats.
But what about every class that has 2 1H's as BIS, including a crafted weapon? Our 2 options are then :
→ We bite the bullet and only upgrade 1 hand out of two, putting us 1 week behind forever behind compared to 2H wielders, and providing a smaller immediate upgrade. Positive point: making our theoritical BIS (2x1H's) possible in the future with more cores.
→ We switch to a 2H to get the biggest upragde (298 on 2 slots) but waste the 80 myth crests invested in crafting our 1H weapon. And you have to find a 2H mythic weapon.
Has anyone in this situation put thoughts into what they would do?
