Is the Crafting Bench useful for anyone? | Forums

[Cathral]

I feel crafting is broken and currently no use being in the game. You can not craft anything worth keeping and your lucky if any of the 3 stats are above 50% of the possible with the average being all 3 are under 25% of the possible stat. I had max ingredients and just ran out trying to craft a holster and EVERY attempt had stats below 25% in all of the 3 stats


Having Max stats in the recalibration should ideally help increase the odds that its a higher stat rolled on creation or set a minimum it can be but after getting 130 "God rolls" out of a possible 188 and all the Talents available I can say it makes no difference currently.

That sounds like a good idea, having the crafting bench affected by your stat library. But that would mean if you don't have a particular stat would never roll good for you. but to answer your question the developers have stated they do not want you playing the game from the bench. The bench is there in their minds for you starting out in the game, as far as exotic are concerned I'm getting good rolls for those. I'm only missing 30 God rolls off my library.

Exactly this. After all it's a loot grinding, not a loot crafting game. But the bench is still useful for crafting special gear items (just like the improvised holster for CC builds) or helping you try out a new build, when you're only missing one or two items (just like keiffer2 said).

So I wouldn't say it's useless. It is just not meant to be a primary source of extractable max rolls or god rolled items.

The crafting bench was stealth nerfed along with them down grading the DZ loot drops. There was a weekend in the DZ that was dropping God rolls. They swiftly fixed that and squatted on the crafting bench in one swoop. Nothing was ever mentioned about it. I haven't seen a God roll from the crafting bench since then.

You should be able to craft something similar to the items you have in your inventory.
