Master Recipe Gear OBSOLETE for RAIDS

[AnimaS]

I am at a loss of words right now considering the utter uselssness of battle gear for raids. It is absolute GARBAGE. Does SE intend on giving us real gear to make like in 2.4 ....... When Alexander Savage is released..... because thus far the LAW Gear is already making all level 60 gear pathetically obsolete? Will 3.1 bring us real recipes?

they have said that crafted will never really be end game gear and crafted will never be better than raid quality .. BUT i cannot understand why they made it 160 when you can pull the same stuff out of lvl 60 runs basically same stats etc .. i feel they kinda messed up there a bit why make it shit compared to the 170 base law gear.. it should have been stuck in that middle of 175 between base law and at the upgraded .. being later if need be meld it up with some stats to make it just as good as 180 etc.. seriously why not have made the stuff lvl 1 glamour and been done with it . it serves little purpose than that for a high cost..( on some servers ) when law and the hunts are putting a lot at ilvl 180 very fast and very easy!!1

It seems to be Square's general policy to have the best crafted gear still not be on par with the best raiding gear. That said, aren't red scrips coming along with the other end game currencies? I wouldn't doubt if there's a new master recipe book to go with it. Perhaps that will have recipes more to your liking.

As with prior large patches with raid content, recipes were included to *assist* with raiding (2.4: Kirumu, Wootz etc And we have a raid coming out very soon.

[Alexiell]

pretty sure we gonna see more recipes soon. They did show crafter/gatherer classes with new class specific gear like we had it with ilvl 55. Once we get this, they will also add more recipes that require this new gear to be crafted. They probably hold it back until the start of raids so we cant get too much of a headstart with crafting/buying these items already.

Top gear in game is 180 currently, top crafted gear is 160; 20 ilvl below that. How is that any different than it ever was in ARR?

[Dererk]

Its clear that they don't like people using overmelded gear to clear stuff in 1 week so ya crafted gear won't have a place in raiding.

At one of the live letters Yoshi already said they won't make the mistake of making the crafted gear too strong as they did before for fcob.

[Whiteroom]

Yeah, its been stated that the crafted gear was never intended to be that good, and they won be doing it again.

So what is the purpose of progressing your crafting then? You craft super awesome crafting gear so that you can craft...more...crafting gear? So once everyone gets their crafting gear done and ready, then we all promptly stop crafting because there's no purpose to it?

Cooking and Alchemy for consumables, something for furniture, and that's the only reason to craft?
