Just curious, but at what point was crafting gear useful or at all worth making in HW? You get free gear from the story quest and other quests while leveling all the way to ilvl 145 at level 59. Then you do dungeons for ilvl160 gear and at the same time get tomes of law for ilvl 170 then use centurio seals to upgrade to 180.

If you can jump from 145 to 160 with zero down side then what is the point of ilvl150 gear from crafting?
