The End of Specialist Recipes (Patch Notes)

[Silverbane]

Early web sites reporting that many of the new recipes require 850 Craftsmanship, 820 Control, and are Specialist recipes to boot. Including the new crafted 220 gear.

So Specialization is alive and well if these web sites are correct.

Just as I assumed then. Thank god. <3 Specialist is the best thing to ever happen to crafting.

That's quite a lot of stats though, I'm a bit surprised if it's really that high. My fully geared weaver doesn't even have that much! (Though it might with the new specialist stat bonus...will have to see.)

Specialist system is a bit like limiting people to only 4 job stones.

Such garbage... seriously, SE, just stop with this disgusting filth called the Specialist Recipe.

Just tell the guy who made it on his lunch break and thought it was good this "sorry, nothing personal, but after putting recipe limits on the Specialist system, further ruining it, we've opened our eyes and realized it is unfathomably stupid... we shall remove it" or something, I'm sure he/she won't mind.

Well. Looks like I'll be grinding some alts to Heavensward since SE's made it all but mandatory for omni-crafters.

To be fair you'd have to be a specialist with full class-specific gear to even stand a chance of hitting the 3 star requirement anyway.

Will never understand specialist whining. It's a great system and I hope it never changes.

agreed loving the feeling of being a specialist in my favourite crafts
