I can no longer guarentee R5 447 bracers / goggles / guns with max engineering, max specialization points, and insight being used.
I’m 1 skill point shy of being able to guarentee r5 even using insight.
Is this an accident on your part blizzard, or are you really intending to make us have to inspire roll to make r5 gear now?
Check crafting gear, you might have green one equipped
I’ve made hundreds of bracers / goggles at 447.
I’ve had all r5 engineering tools since s1.
They changed a value somewhere.
Check your materials and add-ins (cogwheels & safety) quality. I just did a R5 bracer craft with no issues on a non-maxed skill and KP engineer with room to spare so the issue you are experiencing is not global.
