Nothing quite like going through 20+ crafts during an ANB to get a bracer with the skill bonus you want, or worse still, getting the elusive 77 with a skill bonus useless to your build. How about making braver crafting like jewelry crafting insofar as you can pay to get a non-random stat? If you can pay 17 gems for a level 70 ring or necklace, why not a couple hundred gems to get the stat you want in a bracer? Or better still, how about a handful of glory to make that currency useful for those who have unlocked all the gear they want?
