Ascended Back Items w/Selectable Attributes
Your suggestion would benefit me, as I now need a Celestial back piece and have all of the items to make both the Quiver of a Thousand Arrows and There with Yakkington: A Traveler’s Tale, if they were forgable with dust.
But I am completely against the idea. I will simply rune fractals for another Vial of Condensed Mists Essence, because I am against “forcing” anyone to have their stats nerfed from what they need to a selection of what you want them to have simply to be mean out of your jealousy. If you want one of those items, get off your duff and run some fractals and get your Vial of Condensed Mists Essence and stop demanding negative effects of players who have already earned it simply because you cannot get it an easier way.

By that logic, why offer the bloodstone dust recipes at all? Why are some attribute combinations accessible in multiple ways while others are not? How did they decide which combinations should be easier? And why is it OK for people to get an ascended fractal capacitor with unusual stats if they bought it before the magic find patch but not OK for people to get the same thing for the same cost afterwards?
And for the record, I’ve already got plenty of mists essence for my present needs.
What combinations are the new recipes not offering that you want?
You act as if this is something new. We have several runes for example that you can only get in one particular dungeon, and others that only drop from world bosses. Did you make threads for each of them, complaining about how they are only acquired in one manner, while other runes have multiple forms of acquisition?
Beyond that, why are you concerned if you have everything you need to aqcuire what you want, already??
