Exquisite jewels for Magi/Rabid/Soldier/etc..
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.
