I have 2 questions.
For some time now I have been trashing my straight stat artifacts. Am I wrong in doing this?
I also don't have a clue where I should use some of the new artifacts like Supersonic, Protection and Merciless
Confused on Artifacts
It really depends on where you are in the game:
At Early Game, flat stat pieces from the bottom row have a use because they can give more stats than percentage pieces for low-level toon.
By Mid-Game and through Late Game, flat stat pieces from the bottom row should be autosold because percentage pieces are always better.
At End Game, a Flat Stat piece from the bottom row may have value again depending on the substats and the set. For example: A Flat HP set of gloves with speed, res, acc & Def % in Supersonic might be just the ticket to finish the build on your Supersonic support.
As far as where to use the newer 9-piece sets? The answer is everywhere. They allow you to stack more stats than regular gear because you can bring accessories into the mix, allowing you to create 2-5 piece builds to mix/match with regualr artifact sets to increase stats.
Once you are fortunate enough to have 6-9 piece builds with any of the 9 piece sets, they each offer their own unique benefits.
