Should or will be?

Yea considering i have too pretty much remake all my tanking armour and every single weapon for every single character this is a much needed.
Alternatively if you want to offer a one-time respec of all traits that have changed i'd take that. Or the mats to remake all my now useless gear.
I don't mind grinding for new better gear in updates, but current gear being rendered utterly useless by balancing changes takes the ***.
Is this Destiny 3.0 lol left that game for same reasons.

Yeah! I also want a option to allow us to change our armor traits. My craft items are nearly zero.

Yes please.

I want to alter traits and change motif style.

I just crafted and golded a complete HA Tava's Blessing set in reinforced, every piece with a hakeijo (sp?) for my trials tank. That set cost me something like 700k or 800k to craft. And now we simply change the trait systems. It was bad enough when I wished I could change the motif style of stuff I crafted a DLC ago. Now to have to come up with 680 mats, 32 alloys, 8 wax, 5 kutas, 5 hakeijos, 5 reporas etc all because the trait system was changed just sucks. It genuinely just erodes any motivation to try new things or experiment.

Not very good way of doing things @ZOS. You should be making it easier for players to experiment and theory craft. That is a large part of what keeps this game interesting.

Reinforced trait was not changed in 2.4.0 patch. Your set is as good as it was in 2.3.9.

Except that nirn is now better on two HA piece (and all other piece except MA chest), and he lost 20% blocking cost who was moved to an armor trait and may be better on his build. For mid-maxing, he probably have to re-do most of his set.

By the way, I'll love a reforging for trait and style, but not easy to achieve. For example, a rare item (or two, one for trait and one for style) who allow to use a new style/trait item and half the base material to reforge a piece of armor or a weapon. Good for keeping the gold mat and set, but not too easy.

estera

Reforging two heavy items and shields will only increase overall armor rating by 0.77%.
If you are that min-maxing, you should be ready to re-gear with each and every DLC.
I personally would no bother replacing my HA items for such a tiny gain.

Someone posted a break even for Nirn vs Reinforced, and I guess Reinforced is better on all but belt and hands, in which case Nirn out performs. However the issue now becomes Sturdy as I am not sure how much the changes to block cost will mess with my hybrid Tank. A small stam pool was more than enough for blocking before as I rarely ever needed shards and don't run Engine Gaurdian. I am worried that may no longer be the case. Guess time will tell.

Either way, it would still be nice to be able to chabge styles and traits on the gear we craft...a sort of Master Crafter perk

Not sure if this is sarcasm?

Numerically, it doesn't look like much...680 mats, 32 alloys, 8 wax, 5 kutas, 5 hakeijos, 5 reporas...but monetarily it is quite a bit. Mats aren't an issue, but alloys sell for 15k ea, was 6k, kutas 15k, and hakeijos 35k. Those alone are a little shy of 800k gold. Throw the mats and reporas into the mix, and that is a very f'n expensive 5 pc set. Considering I crafted it like 5 days ago, that hurts lol

It definitely should be.

Tempering alloy is like 12k on PS4, and I am sure it will skyrocket with all the changes to armor traits and ppl re-gearing.

7 heavy armor +2 weapons equal 72 gold mats which is over 800k in current prices.

Either add reforging or greatly increase the amount of gold mats recovered when deconstructing your own gear.

Armitas

Yes!!!

Yup, Tempering Alloy is overly expensive for how many you need. They need to go back to sending them out in hireling mails.
