    Yes, my Thaumaturgy bow is still showing negative Death Attunement as well.

    This is currently by design, and an artifact of our previous system for skill attunements that treated magic as being dichotomously opposed to one another (fire would negatively impact water, life and death, air and earth, moon and sun, etc.)

    Can you elaborate on exactly what you mean by this, Attenwood?

    It sounds like you're saying that negative attunement is working as intended, is a design goal, and is not going away as mentioned during the shift to this "new" attunement system that we have no control over as a player... whereas in the past, we could choose attunement as an explicit separate skill per tree, now we are forced to accept negative attunement and have less choice?

    Or am I misunderstanding you?

    A simpler question: Is negative attunement staying, or will it be removed?

    I'm not against a negative attunement on gem socketed item.
    You want a +20 attun. on your 2 handed hammer, a -10 attun. is not a so big debuff

    I just socketed a weapon with an air gem (Theurgy) also thinking that there is no more negatives to attunement.

    I did so after socketing a ring with an air jewel (Theurgy) which gives just +1 Air Attunement (and NO negatives to Earth Attunement).

    Just trying to find out which is supposed to be correct?

    The weapon and armour gemming still carries a negative to the opposite school's tree, try a weapon or armour piece, it will do like +20 and -10 for example on a chest piece or two-handed weapon.. +10 -5 for a one handed item.. I believe this is correct...

    rings and necklaces use a smaller part of the gem, and is just the +1 to the attunement, no negative.
