Hehe that was fun.
Wood is everywhere, though. And there aren’t that many recipes that use a lot.
If its grey, it is vendor trash by design. If it is white or above, it has some use somewhere.
The crafted gifts are account bound.
Crafting (or buying the crafted) exotics are arguably the best way to get the first exotics. But you could just as well find a crafting buddy you trust to do the same thing, or buy that exotic on the trading post. Its really good xp if you want that. But other than that, crafting, like all other forms of progression, is purely optional and won’t give you an edge.
Because of the xp boost you get from crafting, and how easy it can be, many people still craft. Also since the TP was down, many people hoarded crafting mats til it went up, causing the market to be flooded. Because of these things, crafting for the most part either loses, money, breaks even, or ekes a very minuscule profit.
So no, there is no reason right now to craft if you don’t want to craft, unless you want legendaries.
Furthermore, I feel like any kind of melee is incredibly underpowered in dungeons. Just don’t do it. Have your party all used ranged weapons and kite things around. Otherwise, having people using melee weapons just results in them eventually getting agro and getting stomped on because they can’t tank the damage.
Melee may require more skill at dodging, and knowing how to use your debuffs. But it is no where near underpowered. Sure, I’m a guardian. But I’m mainly damage focused. I have some, but not too much, in the way of defensive stats. But I survive just fine by knowing when to blind, managing aegis when I don’t have a blind available, and dodging failing those two. And I know other classes have similar strategies at their disposal.
