Anet, why can I still not make Exquisite Jewels for several stat sets so I can max out only those stats? Okay, not several….many of the stat sets have no way to max out their stats.

Rabid
Knight
Cavalier
Soldier
Magi
Shaman
Dire
Settler

….yet whenever you add in a new stat combo on any new release, you give the ability to craft a full set, including an exquisite jewel to max out that stat combo, but, some stats have been in the game since launch and you still haven’t provided a path. Many of these don’t even have ascended amulets, rings, accessory, etc. I use Rabid and Magi gear all the time, and it annoys me to no end that there is no way to fully max. out this stat combo like I can with Clerics or Berserker. I can get ascended for Rabid, but nothing for Magi….

At least let us craft an exotic exquisite jewel so we can max out these stat combos. Some of them already have an Orb equivalent upgrade component (Crest of the Soldier/Shaman/Rabid/Magi).

I would like to suggest that you give us a path to craft the exquisite version and maybe even the ability to craft the equivalent accessory. Call them “Badge of the Soldier/Shaman/Rabid/Magi”, and do one of a few things :::

  • We turn in 1-5-10+ Crests of the Soldier/Shaman/Rabid/Magi into a Vendor and trade for a Badge using Karma or WvW badges of honor
  • We Craft them in the Mystic Forge, using a bunch of Crests and a bunch of another material.
  • We Craft them through Jeweler using an Orichalcum Filigree, a Glob of Exctoplasm, and a Crest of the Soldier/Shaman/Rabid/Magi

Can you please, please, please, please, PLEASE, add these in, or at least take a second to consider it? Those tiny little differences in stats makes all the difference, and its a real shame that you aren’t making all the possibilities in your game at least equal possibilities.

I will now Bump this post for the first of a thousand times, that, or Anet gives me a response for why they wont allow us to max. out these less common stat combinations.
I don’t want to hear that ascended versions of many of these stat combinations exist, or that I will (eventually) be able to craft ascended versions anyways whenever Jeweler 500 comes out. I don’t want to hear that Magi stats suck, go use Cleric’s Instead. I don’t want to hear that I can use a jewel that has almost the same stats (Apothecary → Settler). That’s either expensive or not the same thing. It discourages experimentation with new stats and builds, and overall, makes Guild wars 2 a blander experience.

Instead of working with Crests of the Soldier/Shaman/Rabid/Magi, Anet could instead go through the time it takes to create an equivalent tier (4),(5),6 gemstone (Shard, Crystal, Orb), kind of like what they did with almost every new stat combination they put in the game. Would it be that difficult to mine for new gemstones and craft them the same way as always?

For example…..
Soldier’s stats could require Jade
Shaman’s stats could require Ivory
Magi’s stats could require Diamond
Rabid stats could require Tourmaline
Dire stats could require Jet
Settler’s stats could require Aventurine
etc.
etc.
etc….
