Crafting Idea (shatter t6-7 affixes)

what does everyone think about the ability to shatter (say 25-50%) a t6 affix, which would create a special shard that would allow you to craft a t6 affix with a 50% max success rate or something ontop of a t5 affix. That way when you find a purple with the affix you want on a terrible base you still have a slight chance of getting it on a nice base.

honestly the idea sounds nice at first but is it really neccessary?

imho loot drops are pretty decent and while you can sometimes farm a specific item for quite a while, something close to what I am looking for tends to drop fairly often for me.

I like the fact that you cannot make T6/7 items - it gives farming a bit more of an incentive - I rarely even look at yellows anymore (unless they are t5 - thanks loot filter) so purples (T6/7) are really the only things I look for (beyond very specific drops). Being able to make them would take this incentive away… for me at least.

you would still have to farm to get the shard and potentially the base too unless u gamble for the base but you need to get the gold for that still. I’ve lvled like 6 70’s and a 90 and ive never got a usable t6 wep affix with the right base. Most likely you would need to find more than one shard too because with a 25-50% success on the shatter plus a low craft rate you’d probably fail the first 1-2 unless ur real lucky.

For me thats part of the incentive to keep farming/playing… I don’t want to be able to make a “godlike” version of my ideal weapon - I would prefer the endorphin rush of it dropping randomly. I’m ok with being able to craft (if I am lucky) great gear but its no-where near as fun for me as getting a glorious drop… and yes, I am willing to accept that I may never find it…

Gonna have to respectfully move my chair to the opposite side of the table… :grinning:

it’s only a suggestion for t6 not t7 and just to find 3-4 of the right affix would still take forever but you’re entitled to your opinion. I think the rush would still be there if you see the right affix drop, and a potential soul crushing feeling if the shatter fails or the craft fails still =D
the intention is to create a bridge between t5 and t7 god drops. There is still rng on the t6 roll and you can’t craft t7 at all if you really want an incentive to farm =D

Honestly i would be completly fine if t6/7 affixes get a special protection on runes of removal. Right now if you find a “good base” with the right affixe your first “roll” is to remove the bad affix(es) that did come along with it in almost every case.

It would be a lot more realistic to ever make something great out of such a drop if removale runes would remove “normal before t6+ affixes”.
