So basically, every dps will reforge every item’s stamina into crit/haste/hit whatever… Oh yeah, so hard to make a choice

@donkeykongjr upgrades are upgrades. maybe that piece of gear that has 50% more agi is an upgrade on a POS item they’re wearing…

Yea I dont think many of you quite get it… look in patch notes 4.0.1 for a better understanding…

“Players can now visit special Reforging NPCs in capital cities located near Enchanting trainers. 40% of any one secondary stat on an item can be allocated to add a new secondary stat to the item. The stat being added cannot already exist on the item. An item cannot have more than one reforged stat at a time, though the Reforging of an item can be undone and changed.

So the way this works is like so…

Lets say I’m lacking hit, just short of the hit cap, and swapping out pieces of my gear isnt working for me. Lets also say I have alot of Str on a piece of armor with NO hit at all… I can swap 40% of the Str on that item with 40% hit and reach the hit cap I need. If I end up getting a new piece of gear with hit on it later that I can use, I can reforge that same piece back to what it was.

This basically just gives items more flexibility in terms of what stats you need right now as opposed to what stats are actually on your gear right now.

Get it?

You guys are way off point here. Why would a rogue take a caster piece of gear? Even with reforging, they are left with 50% of the int and spirit on the gear, and gain 50% agility. this is a horrible trade of for them

well this should be rather interesting. since they are condensing and taking away some of the customization in the talent tress, they decided to add it to the proffessions? i may have to re-roll some proffs. i know one of my friends put tailoring on his death knight because he wanted to make/sell tons of bags. my question is that if he keeps tailoring, he can reforge tailoring items. does this make them soulbound? if it does not, does that mean that he could have, say a blacksmith friend, reforge his tier gear for him? its just a lil undescriptive and confusing to me i guess.

One word…. LAME!!!
How will blizzard prevent ninja’s and will the crafters be able to make new recipes? Is that what that is? Or will anyone be able to swap stats on their gear… I’m thinking its the 1st one but that leaves out tier gear adjustments… just.find what works… y do ppl gotta be lazy? I wonder how Rawr will work after this whole change.. ok well.
I am really pleased with the new expansion cept about this one feature… I honestly hope it doesn’t affect me getting the gear I want/need. IE if someone let’s say rolled on my cloak outta RS 25 man heroic I would be passes if it was too a rogue or something… but in the switch side, I guess I could always take what on their wishlist if I didn’t.mind sacrificing half my stats…
Which brings me to another point, what about stats that are more valuable than others?
