Thread: Has there been a recent silent nerf to LS crafting?
ok heres your issue
whatsa happening is this
you have a used hilt - which will still have an elemental stat on it - EVEN if you take out the colour crystal
your new hilt wont have an elemental until the FIRST time you put a crystal in it
that is making the diff in dps your seeing

Hmm, i dont seem to get as many amazings anymore either. One bit of advice, try and get your crafting suit to +25 not just +20. Your will get 10 points to spend instead of just 9.
I posted about this on the Musician forums as well. My alt is a 12pt M Weaponsmith and the first thing I noticed is that with the new WS Insp buff, I rarely get an amazing success any more. Other weaponsmiths have had similar experience and it appears the new buff either cancels out the Cake & Port or it just flat out eliminates amazing successes. Therefore, for my WS crafting, I have stopped getting the new buff and just use Cake, Port, in a research town, with a 15.00 tool and a 44.90 station.
As for LS crafting, I also got the WS buff, since that is what we were told by Tiggs to get.I don't remember the last time I had an amazing success while crafting a saber since the new buffs appeared. I am waiting for a friend to lend me his 12pt suit again (I am MLS) so I can try again with just Cake & Port.
One final comment, since I have no data prior to the most recent patch containing the new buffs, I can't confirm that a silent nerf of the over all crafting system has actually happened. However, I craft high end weapons every day, where success is very important in making a capped / enhanced weapon, and from what I can tell, I personally feel I don't get near the same amount of amazing successes that I used to get before the patch. Before the patch, I used to get at least two amazings per weapon (and often times more), but now I can craft several weapons or subcomponents in a row and only get Great Successes. Seems something is wrong.

with dps possibly. with the difference in fc and speed? last i checked, nothing other than clear crystals/pearls affected those two mods.
