Bracers of Mastery plea

[Oshisin]

The Bracers of Mastery are currently many, many times as resource-consuming as the Integralas Mantle to craft. Even if you were to allow the choice of effect, it would be the most resource intensive item to craft. Allowing choice is of course what should be done.
However, if the devs are bound and determined to deny choice, then at the very minimum there needs to be an option to reforge the effect.
Please consider fixing this in your balance patch. Not very many will have already spent glory for the recipe, so currently this could be fixed without screwing over a lot of people. If it isn’t fixed before people get the glory for the recipe, though, a huge number of people are going to get the recipe and ultimately get pissed off when the fix, which has to be made, is put in.

Definitely not looking forward to crafting these bracers since the effect is randomly chosen and they are expensive.

I imagine this will be the one item you won't see as a perfect 77 most of the time, except on the most "fortunate" players.

Oh well, perhaps we will get lucky and craft good bracers for builds we haven't considered using yet, giving us some motivation to try other stuff out.

You are missing the point. Those bracers are probably the only item in game what give really huge benefit if used right. That kind of items are not supposed to be cheap or cheap to make. When you need to improve your character to the max, be willing to grind, that is basically the motto in all arpgs and that is one of the big reasons people play them. To get a sense of achievement.

How do you envisage ANB with this highly random crafting? Does it make some builds too risky to attempt in ANB?

[Heikki Gross]

Actually I do. You dont need those bracers for xp grind and by the time you need them, there is plenty of materials to go around to craft enough of to get your desired result. Yes, you probably will not end up with lvl 77 bracers, but at some point the one who gets the 77 will have a bad damage multiplier.
