Lvl 90 crafted gear

[XanderOlivieri]

I don't think crafted i70 gear was ever better then dungeon i90 gear. Crafted i70 just barely passes dungeon i70 and only with melding. Some base stats were still lower than dungeon gear, so crafted i90 gear should only be slightly better than dungeon i90 gear while HQ and fully melded.

Nothing will be better than the i110 gear until next patch I belive.

If the crafted piece is the same ilvl and HQ, base stats are the same. The only reason people used melded i70 Accessories over i90 was you could get both VIT/STR for tanks or melee for example. There are no crafted i90 Accessories, so no more doing that.

i guess i also meant in relation to the lvl100.

This was discussed a little bit here:

Looks like the ability to customize secondary stats gives crafted gear an edge.

The 5 STR/6 VIT difference, I'd be inclined to say not. Having more secondary stats is nice, but main stat boosts are more valuable most of the time.

This only apply for accessories. The i70 allow you to put Vitality on pieces that have Strength so you're sacrificing some Vit for Str and other stats. However, for i90 crafted, Strength and Vitality are already capped on the left side piece so you're sacrificing Vitality for Parry/Determination. No amount of secondary stats will make up for loss of Vitality. Accuracy might be worth considering but new gears have so much in it you won't need it.

thats why i said the "accessories" were better. So i was just asking if the gears was about the on par with the 110
