Hey everyone, hope all is well.
I noticed ever since legion blacksmiths can’t make any relevant endgame weapons. I leveled my rogue since vanilla and I remember picking up blacksmithing specifically to make him a sword smith. I was curious how you guys feel about adding relevant crafted weapons to professions, since it seems like professions can only make decent armor now a days.
With the current way professions work literally every non-caster would roll blacksmith to craft BiS 415 weapons after like 1.5 heroic clears (or 3 for dual wield).
They have pretty much done that to all crafted gear.
They took away our abilities to craft weapons or gear that can matter and funneled into this World of Grindcrap to constantly get gear that we have to grind ap for so it becomes better so that it can be replaced so we can grind ap to make it better. Allowing us to make good gear or even useful gear doesn’t benefit them financially in the long run so they more or less make it useless to do.
With loss of artifact weapon we are back to the old weapon drop issue. My mage is 360 with a 300 staff ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
NO profession can make ANY BoE item above ilvl 340. All of the high-level stuff is BoP.
There was a time, many moons ago, when I was just a wee child, that crafted gear meant something to the elders of our tribe. Now, with coming of white man, we simply grind our gear much like we grind our flour!
Engineers can’t even sell goggles to other Engineers. Even the 340 ones.
I find it funny that to make higher level SOULBOUND items, you’d need to raid so many times an equivalent item has already dropped for you.
Raiders ruined crafting.
