Optimistic Speculation on Specialization + Links

[Squand]

Dreams: All our crafting classes can go to 60. Then we specialize in one class, this unlocks a small pool of recipes that only specialists can do. But more importantly, it unlocks an ultimate cross class skill. A skill so good, we couldn't reasonably have two.

Like desynth people are encouraged to de-specialize & re up in another class as patches & markets change.

You aren't locked out of being an omni crafter. Instead, if you <3 making vanya silk you choose a specialization that makes doing those efficient. If I <3 making 30 step synths I choose a specialization that will make those fun!

Think a continuation of what they did with stat caps on off hand melds. Your off hand defines you as a crafter. It makes you unique without being limiting.

Think of the cool theory crafting!

Yoshi told me to get excited. Whether the above is accurate or not. I'm going to give this crew the benefit of the doubt.
