No not those mods.
Now in the past my playing style was to NEVER use gold for any item that didn't have a mod associated with it. The idea was that items become obsolete but the mods grow with the account.
It has served me well so far.
But after the recent Raid and Epic Boss I am now questioning that logic. When are ATT/DEF mods useful?
1. PvP - We don't really need to fight anyone because that's just added XP for no real advantage unless someone just gets under your skin and you feel compelled to slow tap them for an extended period destroying their newsfeed and leveling them up if they are stronger than you. Outside of that no real need to fight.
2. Rob - I seldom need to rob given most of my 12 hour collections average way over 1 billion CC cheddar. Plus robbing gives unwanted XP.
3. War - I guess the boosted stats gives me more targets in war but even the minis in my syndicate can find targets to at least make minimum. Unless you are in the top 3 syndicate war prizes don't move the needle much anyway. I get a bigger boost for less gold in other events.
4. Bragging rights - Sure. This is a big one. Who doesn't want to show off their big stats off? But where do you show it off except in your syndicate. Your rival list are filled with people of similar stats. Not going to impress them much.
Moded stats are not needed for lockbox events and LTQs. They do not contribute to the damage you inflict on a Raid or Epic boss.
Are they really worth the trouble?
I think my new mantra will be don't use gold on any item that doesn't have a mod that does not result in saving me time or cash.
