The only 'enhancement 36' my trainer sells recipes for are useless for my dps characters in 3.0, if I use more than 2 or 3 in the set.
The artifice trainers on both Rishi and Fleet offer no recipe for anything with accuracy and power.
So I looked on GTN and found green, blue and purple crafted 'initiative enhancement 36' for sale, made by a variety of players.
Are these reverse engineered enhancements from boss drops or am I just not visiting the correct trainer?
And if that is the case, why does Bioware keep making crafting less and less useful?
Synthweaving is already a joke, since it can't compete with the flood of adaptive armor from the cartel market.
Now Artifice tops out with only 2 DPS enhancement that are both heavy on Surge, which has a new cap of 250 before it becomes drastically useless according to Dulfy's gearing guides.
green Adept = 52 power, 79 surge
green Battle = 52 critical, 79 surge
Advanced Adept = 68 power, 102 surge
Advanced Battle = 68 critical, 102 surge
So, if you use 3 of my crafted solution in an armor set, you've already overshot your surge cap by 56 points. Sooner if you have anything else with surge.
That means I can't craft ANY enhancement for 6 out of 9 slots in a DPS gear set.
And we're only talking lvl 58 gear in the first place.
