When I break a 2-handed sword with it equipped (just like it says in the mechanics), my character’s status does not change to the new affixes, only if I relog…
And if I try to unequip/equip the merophage, my statuses even become negative as if the previous affixes on the merophage belonged to my character and not the weapon…
Similar experience here. I LOVE the idea of Merophage, because I like the ability to frequently gamble on an RNG roll within the normal course of play. I fully understand/accept that sometimes the RNG gives, and sometimes it takes, so I don’t mind when the shatter roll absorbs affixes that aren’t very useful to my character. But the fact is, when you have Merophage you don’t really know what your actual stats are, ever.
Is it:
–character-update bug: you DO have new stats, but character sheet doesn’t upgrade?
–sword-update bug: the sword doesn’t actually update unless you re-equip or relog?
I confirm that merophage is bugged. if I get a shatter with attack speed affix, then unequip the sword, my attack speed is permantently de-buffed until I re-log.
