We all know some affixes only appear on set/unique/crafted items.no rare or normal magic. Some of the magica/rarel affixes that show up look good, but are they? I'm specifically talking martial arts tab, and my all-time undecided affix of 5% bonus to attack rating. I honestly have a hard time telling if it's a worthy affix to want on an item found or crafted. On items that allow visionary affix, we can see the scaling. The hanging 5% bonus just seems awkward, doesnt seem to impact the item or play with said item. I also learned via crafting it can show up on gloves...Honestly would like people's thoughts on it. Worthy of being an affix to hope for? Or is it more like the random 3 to life or mana slap in the face?
Thoughts?

That's my thought on it as well. I just wanted to see if anyone had any positive thoughts regarding those sorts of "participation award" affixes. I can (maybe) see a bowazon actually seeing the extra 5% as a noticable addition. For all other classes it's akin to getting 3 to mana on an item.

A bowa zon has one of the lowest base AR. They have high AR% bonus.

Which means +5% AR does much less for a bowa than most other builds that use AR

Ouch so the reverse of what I thought. That bonus does even less for them than the other classes that dont get any discernable change from it. Poor bowazons...they have a lazy eye, and the other just wanders. XD
