This. Do not let some mediocre centers stop you. You never know what you will get.
Tear centers like these:
40 95/50
75 60/75
55 80/30
They are useless. You should always go for weapon+armour = over 160.
This attitude continues to bug me.
Less desirable for your particular purposes? Maybe. But the only
useless center is the 0/0/0 center that you get when you try and fail.
Frankly,
anything with 95% weapons should be considered pretty darn good. And I'm pretty sure that 80/30 isn't possible—the game tries to ensure that weapon and armour quality aren't wildly far apart from each other.
