Why don't we have a Red Ruby Eye Augment w/ sonic?

As per wiki, we have fire, holy, erosion, cold, electric, force and the awesome meteoric star w/ bludgeon. But not sonic.

I don't ask for much really , but could we get a new Ruby Eye Augment w/ sonic. Adding a chance to stun wouldn't bother me at either.

I think it's because practically nothing resist sonic damage so it's considered a very powerful damage type. That's also why there's no RL belt for sonic spellpower.

Also, I read somewhere that until the entire augment system has been overhauled and unborked so it doesn't get exponentially more complicated every time a new augment is added we won't be getting any more of them. That's also why we're stuck with really quite bad damage on the rubies and spellpower severely lagging behind what you find on equipment, if they went and adjusted the values now they'd greatly increase the amount of work it takes to untangle the spaghetti code later on.

Holy and Force are too, they could in theory just scale Sonic damage lower than "standard" elements like they do for those

But yeah the Augments system isnt ever going to get an update until it gets replaced entirely

Well I would love to see some new red augments (maybe make another Orange one), that does Light damage with the chances for Blinding Light/Radiant Blast.

Almost every high level weapon has multiple augment slots and very little worthwhile augments to slot.
