Soul shards have upgrade rng?

General Discussion

Pretty much the title as my question.

Playing on barb, upgraded Sliver of Terror from rank 1 to 2 and it rolled dexterity on it…
Is this intended rng ? A bug, and is it known if so ? Did i miss a report about this ?
I don’t recall this being mentioned but maybe i missed it.
A quick search just tells me it’s a random stat, but i didn’t expect it could be dex when i’m playing a str character >.<
Very anoying to see that happen as it completely wastes the previous invested embers.

Yes.

The Rank 2 power grants one additional bonus affix between these:

Weapons

  • 12-15% Attack Speed
  • +10-15% Damage
  • +7-10% Critical Hit Chance
  • 20-25% Elemental Damage

Helmets

  • +946-1125 to any Main Stat
  • +55-62 to All Resistances
  • 15-20% Melee Damage Reduction
  • 15-20% Ranged Damage Reduction

No, they’re not wasted. Soul shards can be used instead of the legendary gem in the Caldesann’s Despair recipe to add augments to equipment…

  • Rank 0 Soul Shard = Equivalent of Rank 50 legendary gem (250 stat augment)
  • Rank 1 Soul Shard = Equivalent of Rank 75 legendary gem (375 stat augment)
  • Rank 2 Soul Shard = Equivalent of Rank 100 legendary gem (500 stat augment)
  • Rank 3 Soul Shard = Equivalent of Rank 125 legendary gem (625 stat augment)
