So I experimented this. My Arisen's strength was 608. I was equipped with GF'ed Devilsbane i.e my base strength was 608+1848=2456

So I did this -


 * First equipped the Exhiliration augment. My strength became 3315.
 * Then I equipped Autonomy. My strength became 3978.
 * Then I used Clout. But what I noticed was my strength was only 4420 i.e only 10% off Clout was used.
 * Equipped Vehemence. No change in stat.
 * Equipped Bloodlust. No change in stat.
 * Then I removed the weapon. And follow the above steps all over again. The strength changed like - 820, 948, 1094, no change, no change (in the order of the above augment arrangment).

After that. I removed all the augments. Then I did these steps-


 * Equipped Exhiliration. Strength became 3315.
 * Equipped Vehemence. Strength became 3647.
 * Equipped Clout. Strength became 4376.
 * Equipped Autonomy. Strength became 4420. This is SOOO weird because 4376 was BOOSTED by 1% off Autonomy.
 * Equipped Bloodlust. No change in stat.
 * Again I removed the weapon and equipped the augments in the above order, the consequent strength changes was - 820, 902, 1083, 1094, no change.

I again removed these augments to follow a different pattern. Equipped Bloodlust, Clout, Autonomy, Exhiliration, Vehemence. The total strength (With weapon and without respectively) was 4420 and 1094 respectively.

Similarly, for magick stat (base magick is 550) I used Sanguine Stalk with the magick boosting augments. The total magick with and without weapon respectively were 4107 & 990 regardless of augment order.

After seeing the paradigm, I agree with Karathrax. Offensive stat boost never goes above 80% of the total base offensive stats. My strength was 2456 without augments, and it was 4420 with augments (i.e 2456 + 80% = 4420), it goes similarly for magick and barehand stats. But I also noticed that unlike Karathrax said, the augment which takes it over 80% is not cancelled, evident in the above steps. Anyway, not I have a better understanding of augments.
