With all the single-use schematics and such that are dropping, how about we get a schematic, even a 1-use, for something like an Uber-Clamp that lets us pick the attribute to slice. That way, most slicing would be random, but for that legendary weapon, we can give the customer the option for a guaranteed slice... at a price, of course.
The drop rate can control the rarity of these, so they wont be everywhere (if that's a bad idea...
)

I think most of us would prefer just to be able to pick our slice at Master Smuggler...at least I would. I think most of us are rather EXPECTING to be able to with the Smuggler Revamp. I sure hope I'm not mistaken in that expectation...
Now that might be a good idea for less than Master Smuggler though. *shrugs*

Oh I absolutely agree... this would be a simple-to-code "bone" to throw us in the meantime....

Problem with such 'bones' is that once they've done that they tend to think they're 'done' and the real thing gets pushed back to the end of eternity.
I know from decades in engineering that once a 'bug' or 'deficiency' is 'temporarily' patched the final fix seems to get delayed and delayed and...well you get the picture.

Yep. Now if you wanted to talk about a single use schematic that allows you to "unslice" an item, I'm all ears. That's more of a bone that wouldn't keep us from pushing for a Master benefit and I could see the rest of the player base getting behind it. Eventually they would become meaningless if they decide to fix some of the lame randomness in the system.

I personally think a guaranteed pick-your-slice is awsome but shouldn't be implemented w/o some sort of cap like say 25-30% only on that stat so it doesn't get to overused.
almost more preferable would be a few time use schem guaranteeing over 30% giving a 50/50 hance it'd be an awesome result or you
