They probably are trying to sell the new reforge fragment thingy thing, but at only 2 of each stat, there aren't enough and I don't even see a way to buy it (not that I would)

The biggest problem is, say goodbye to +4 elemental resistance, those are now extinct.

I'm mostly done with atk/nin/crit, in fact I have been hoarding the best ones long before I started reforging so I won't have had better stat even if I started reforge on day 1 of 2.0. However, as +4 resistance is pretty common and stable, I have never hoarded that, so now I can't get all the elemental resistance I wanted, at least not at 4....

The crit @75 is decent, while not as good as red gourd, it is better th*l the rest. And red gourd... well, bit rare so you couldn't have 10 >75 anyway (especially considering some of those come with >80 atk/nin which you might pick over the crit in reforge)

My hope is that this is ALSO in preparation for new TI release and the new TI will have good secondary stat.... but with even red gourd getting nerfed, I have very little confidence in that..
