the need is not to make crafting gear better than raid, more help it, the idea of a sort of enchanter go in this sense, but the trouble is like some did said find a balance right.

but i can see some people complaining saying it become mandatory to have this effect and beginning to say, this effect is better than another.... it's hard to find a right balance, mostly because people want to be the best of the best without even think it's possible to do differently. a lot of mmorpg player are thinking to efficiency only, don't get me wrong i do it too but i like to find some challenge too and try different thing.
