I don't miss the high level rune words--those can suck a male chicken--I miss the low level rune words that help you out during the puberty stages of lvling up a character. That 40ish (in D3) and 60ish (in D2) where you really want to have the "good stuff" already, but you need to sow your oats on something cool and fancy--though not necessarily powerful. With just the right proc chances, or just the right stats on just too low level an item. Or has all the stats you need except the 1-2 relevant ones. Rune words that were "almost" good enough for end game play--but you knew that once the good stuff came along you'd replace it. I miss those crafter items. I don't need stuff that's as good as end game stuff--I want stuff a notch or two down from best in slot that costs as much to make as it costs to buy in the AH. | ||

Their intent with crafting was to accomplish what runewords did in D2 in a little more streamlined way. The problem is that a) the opportunity cost of salvaging blues that could be vendored or AHed is too high, and b) the randomness makes it unreliable to get your own gear from it. | ||

Of course using the artisan has always a luck-factor but the minor chance to get an awesome item is higher than get a good drop or farm money for the AH. The only problem i have right now is that i can´t buy the mats for crafting and if i have to produce them it doesn´t pay of anymore(at least in my opinion). | ||

Crafted items are not the highest tier versions of the items - the highest tier drops have higher base armor/dmg values and I think higher possible stats as well. Weapons in particular suffer greatly from this because dps is the most valuable stat and it's not as important to have a lot of different stats in the same item. Highest tier blues have higher base damage then any of the grand exalted [weapon]s, and are common enough that there's always plenty on the AH. This means you'll need some excellent damage rolls to outclass average damage rolls for these blues. Coupled with high crafting fees... | ||

The fact that the crafting recipe guarantees rolling 6 properties outweighs the fact that there are 11 out of 372 poor properties that you don't want to roll. | ||

's much cheaper to just buy new ones from the AH most of the time. Only Act III NM currently but still... | ||

However, being that crafting doesn't ensure a good item, while the auction house does, means that you either depend on luck with crafting or pay for a sure thing with the AH. Most people would rather have the sure thing than to take a risk. This is because you gain gold by selling items--which you can't sell if you disenchant it. So all your pick ups either are spent on the AH or Crafting--but not both. Once blizzard decides to fix crafting they will make it require drops that are almost as hard to get as act 4 legendaries, only then could they afford to buff crafting. | ||

Someone already suggested adding gem to reagants which would force a specific stat in it to reduce randomness. Of course gem quality would increase the amount of stats in an item, e.g radiant star=always 100% perf primary stat, but holy shit that would cost alot. Also, they could make superior items that drop to be usable as a "base" like in D2 runewords so the item would have the random stats+superior items bonus (AS, armor, etc). Would give at least some use for those items that right now aren't even worth to pick up. | ||

I've spent so much on gems now but don't have much to use them on. | ||

Also, if you keep your blacksmith close to your char level, it's allways worth a try to improve your gear. Crafting materials and gold aren't a problem if you only try to improve one thing of your equipment after a few level ups! I like the blacksmith!  And it even could get better, after patch. | ||
