It's a pretty cool system because even if you get a shitty roll on your fractured stuff, it might be the right stats to combine with other stuff into a strong synthesis, giving it value anyway. Well assuming synthesis are controllable, but from what they've said they should be, although it might be another layer of RNG(3 x fractured makes a, b or c synthesis kind of thing).
I'm tempted to play this new league, but at the same time I don't know how much time I'll have next month, have to prepare for moving and shit so I don't know about investing a lot of time into PoE or a mmo or whatever. Guess I'll see how I feel about it next week.
