The idea is that the raid gear all had slot 3s, so (during beta) I asked if the group gear could also get a slot 3 version too, considering that LDoN is the group expansion. It seems Merloc listened, but rather than adding it globally, he created a "deluxe" version of each item (with a lower droprate) with a slot 3.
The reason I asked was because I know there's a nice 8% dodge aug from Everfrost and I sorely wanted to equip it again! The spin-off from that is it makes the minor mod augs from LDoN worthwhile again for non-raiders like myself: extra regen, damage shields, melee haste, extra ATK and of course that lovely dodge mod.
BTW, the "all slot" augs have been changed to exclude slot 3, so if you're in the market for a charm in the group game don't bother paying extra for one with a slot 3.
