I mean, I know having a blue gem not a purple gem wasn't going to wipe a raid but ... but ... every little helps, right? I like reforging though, it's fun and flexible and without it I wouldn't have been haste capped. Win. Also you're right, by being cheap, it encourages tweaking and experimentation in a way gemming never did.Tamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-27878700563762109632010-10-18T14:50:09.938-05:002010-10-18T14:50:09.938-05:00@Xenxu: That's true, but I was referring to no...@Xenxu: That's true, but I was referring to no gem person, not the low gem person.<br /><br />@Tesh: Well sure, complexity is still an issue.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-84659179997111112692010-10-18T10:57:06.144-05:002010-10-18T10:57:06.144-05:00"Make it cheap to fix the problem and people ..."Make it cheap to fix the problem and people will be more willing to accept the existence of it."<br /><br />In principle, yes. Getting people to acknowledge problems comes before that, though, and if the system is still arcane, that realization may never come.<br /><br />Still, I'm all for mechanics that make it easier to experiment and learn.

But it will average last me 12 years. So I get 66% of the use of a new car for 40% of the price. That is a better buy per dollar than buying a new car.<br /><br />Just like you should only buy a new car when it is a very small portion of your wealth, you should not buy epic gems unless you can afford them, and not buy epic gems then beg for repair money.Xenxunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-62949802537934740612010-10-18T08:42:34.587-05:002010-10-18T08:42:34.587-05:00@Syl: We can all reforge for mastery now, but I...@Syl: We can all reforge for mastery now, but I'm pretty sure gear will start to have mastery on it, so we won't be able to reforge for that.<br /><br />@Dwism: If there's no mastery on gear, then it will definitely be a problem.<br /><br />@Gevlon: I wasn't talking about first gems, but about regemming.

There were always "uncommon" gems for 1-2G and "rare" gems for 10-20G, providing 60-80% of the stats of the epic. A poor person could gem these. The ungemmed is simply dumb.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-49963327226274798912010-10-18T07:43:08.516-05:002010-10-18T07:43:08.516-05:00I remain hope-timistic about Reforging, although I...I remain hope-timistic about Reforging, although I am having problems deciding what stats to get rid of... in order to get Mastery.<br />So maybe Syl has a point.Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-16761967510767648782010-10-18T07:25:28.005-05:002010-10-18T07:25:28.005-05:00TBH I think both enchanting and JC failed for the ...TBH I think both enchanting and JC failed for the same reasons that are min-maxing in WoW, and I fear Reforging will be exactly the same. It sounds like fun and it's cheap as you said, but it will probably come down to one best way of doing it for each class and spec, so there's not really any variety..<br />already the masteries for many classes look so imba, that you will basically always try to reforge for mastery and thats it.<br />dunno, maybe I'm pessimistic.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.com
