I see what you’re saying. Seems pretty nitpicky. With dual wielding you would always need to find two good items instead of just one with a single weapon build. This will make it significantly easier to get weapons for dual wielding because you can just sanctify whichever weapon is weaker.
Disagree. Unless the AC’s are extremely rare, which I doubt, then using them on a weapon or other hard to roll item will be the best choice.
This is true. I’m just hoping we are getting some powercreep since I think we all felt extremely weak season 26 after getting used to being powerful in season 24 and 25.
Powercreep is FUN 
You’re not thinking long-term. An item that is the ‘least randomly rolling’ is one that you’re most likely to find with correct stats anyway. You should reserve the AC for the most randomly rolling AKA difficult pieces of gear.
Just 3 more days… excited for PTR, hope s27 will be a good one, as above poster said “Powercreep is FUN” 
I will see this set in this style:

3p:
This is an example that I find cooler than the one offered in the patch.
OK, you use a crucible for example on a weapon. Your build needs the weapon to ideally have CDR and AD but instead you get useless things like RCR and Bleed. Congrats, you effectively wasted a crucible.
That’s why using the crucible on a least randomly rolling item is better option.
I think I will use the 1st one on weapon, getting a primal weapon fast (even if wrong stats/bonus power) is a huge damage boost, wonder what the droprate will be… have a feeling we will get a couple each day if playing alot, so in the end it doesn’t really matter much
Using the first crucible on a weapon could be fine for an initial power boost but since crucibles completely reforge the item, getting the desired affixes can be a huge hurdle. The more random affix pool the item has, the more difficult it is to get rolled correctly. The offhands are particulary notorius in this regard.
1st we don’t know the droprate of that crucible thingy.
2nd it’s nowhere to be found if we can re-roll one affix or not. So I assume we can like on any normal primal.
3rd it’s pretty common to get Mainstat. Dmg range is a 100% roll on weapons.
It’s pretty unlikely to have your mentioned stats rolled and even then not that big of a deal. you first want max dmg and the correct crucible effect for your build
I really don’t know why you’re defending this opinion. It’s pretty clear from what we know that you almost always want to use it on your weapon. You can even re-roll depending on the crucible droprate.
Remember folks, whilst we know the date that the PTR goes live, we do NOT know at what time. There’s only one PTR server farm and it’s based in the Pacific time zone. Blizzard usually make the PTR available to players in the mid-to-late afternoon, in that time zone. Example conversions for those of us in Europe…
PDT = Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7)
BST = British Summer Time (UTC+1)
CEST = Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)
| PDT / UTC-7 | BST / UTC+1 | CEST / UTC+2 |
|---|---|---|
| 13:00 Tuesday | 21:00 Tuesday | 22:00 Tuesday |
| 14:00 Tuesday | 22:00 Tuesday | 23:00 Tuesday |
| 15:00 Tuesday | 23:00 Tuesday | 00:00 Wednesday |
| 16:00 Tuesday | 00:00 Wednesday | 01:00 Wednesday |
| 17:00 Tuesday | 01:00 Wednesday | 02:00 Wednesday |
| 18:00 Tuesday | 02:00 Wednesday | 03:00 Wednesday |

My 431 dmg primal rabid strike would beg to differ.
what kind of pun is that. it never dropped without dmg range. which is why it’s a 100% chance on weapons.
you just rolled it off.
your point?
So confident, yet so wrong. imgur. com/a/hJyw5tv (had to put a space before the “.” wouldn’t let me post links)
Are you forgetting that the crucible also confers primal level stats on the item?
My “long-term” viewpoint treats the crucible as a tool to get primal level stats on an otherwise hard to roll-item, whereas you seem to want to get one sanctified item with correct stats and be done.
Since it is generally harder to get correct primal level stats on say a weapon than pants, it is more advantageous in the long run to try to roll a sanctified weapon versus sanctified pants. Otherwise you’ll have to spend mats trying to roll correct stats on the weapon anyway, and it may be more expensive to spend those mats than crucibles since the mats (unlike crucibles) don’t guarantee you primal level stats.
well I’m still not convinced
thats one of 2 things:
that doesnt change the statement at all.
if such bugs apply to the crucible thing then they get fixed during the PTR.
so yes that’s still a 100%
I and many others played this game long enough that we all know that it’s usually impossible to get a weapon drop without dmg range rolled.
What about saving a few crucibles to decide for later instead of having this pointless discussion? If you want to have it on armor or weapon it doesn’t matter because you can always loot a new one and it’s not guaranteed to roll the sanctified power you want with the best stat combination anyway.
A weapon would need some very specific CdR%, AD% and +dmg% stats to be good at most builds but some builds doesn’t mind having bleed and RcR% either. Comparingly armor pieces also need to be rolled with single resistance, crit rating, vitality or a class skill bonus to be any decent. By considering it rolled close to be perfect, you still have two thirds chance to roll the sanctified power you do not want.
There’s only one answer, just wait until you see the hand you’ve dealt to use crucibles. And only waste it on the worst piece of your arsenal.
Do you believe the moon landing was faked too? 
It’s not a bug, or monk specific. 99% isn’t 100%
I guess, play more.
I have to disagree. There is a range.
I would not use the crucible on like a helm piece…giving me 90% success of main stat and crit…but I can find that in a day or hours…
Assuming they drop with a decent chance, Weapon is the best option as even Ancient have wide damage range.
The chances of you finding a Primal Trag Fang, or any other…you have the same odds as using the crucible…
But I see your point, never use it on an off hand like Sader shield, too many rolls.
Weapon is def the best choice I think, because your damage increase from Ancient weapon is sooooo much more than an Ancient armor.
Just for you, I equipped it on my character named “Melon” go see the fake item for yourself.
Missing a resist roll on an armor piece is not that big of a deal. Kadala will give you one eventually. They are 25 shards.
Weapons are 100 shards…
—Get your GG armor from Kadala
—Save the crucible to target farm your main weapon
Because to either have to get tons of mats, or reforge yellows a lot!!!
Most weapons have a good chance to roll decent with the exception of some builds needing the secondary (UE, Necro)
But you might not get the Quad GG one, it is going to be 30% if not more better than the normal one
**Using it on the Barber or the Spider Knife would give you max affix range…that is huge
