Make all inscribable caster items drop as any attribute...

Inscribable Platinum Wands/Staves, Wayward wands, Silverboar Scepters, pretty much every caster item that uses a universal skin, can only drop linked to primary attributes.

It pretty much defeats the purpose of using them as any decent caster would be using a 40/40 set for their main attribute, which isn't very likely to be their primary.

The only craftable/inscribable items that actually give the option to come as every attribute are Tormented, Destroyer, Deldrimor, and the Bonus Mission Pack. If none of those interest you, you pretty much have to use some generic common skin.

Strangely, the newly released items, Bone Dragon Staves and Frog Scepters, can come as any attribute yet every other universal caster item that can drop as loot comes as primary only.

I love some of the wand skins, such as Platinum, but for my Ele or Ritu to use them, i need to go primary attribute which isn't why i'd use a wand in the first place...

That explains the Req 9 Energy Storage staff I got ages ago.

/signed - A Platinum Inscribable Restoration Staff for my Rit would be nice :3

Though it is in a way already possible to obtain them through the zaishen chest, just extremely rare.

Yes PLEASE.... theres such a limitation on good skins because of this.

Yes, signed.

There are tons of nice skins that drop with inspiration or fast casting requirements, often not even Mesmers can use them properly. A real waste.

/signed. This should give people a better chance to use some skins they'd rather have.

this will nerf all non-inscribable staffs with such a req they are bit more rare so what? you can still buy them and if you rlly like it you can safe some money. you can find most of those you said in factions/prohecies campain non-inscripable with any attribute

There are skins that are linked to an attrbiute, like Fire Staves, but it's true that others that may drop with attributes of any profession should drop also with primary attributes.

What? Uniscribable staves, wands and shields are mostly merchant fodder since the days of Prophecies.
And you ABSOLUTELY CAN'T find any of those with ritualist attributes in Prophecies and almost no Prophecies caster drops are linked to primary attributes.

An overall drop update must be done, and this idea is a good part of that update.

???

What is wanted is rare skins with other req than primaries. Not everyone is using the primary. If you are a N/Rt and working as a healer then a spawning power wand/staff is freaking useless. why waste them?

~the rat~

I'm pretty sure what the OP is saying isn't true.
I have a curses boar scepter and a fire wayward wand gold in my invintory now. So, /sorta signed but I think his examples aren't correct.

/signed

Physicals get SO many options, while casters get totally jipped.

Haha, sorry to burst your bubble... but i found a Raven Staff req 9 Communing.. in Abaddon's Mouth (Prophecies) on my Warrior, i can prove it too, i still have it

Yeah, right. Saw something for sale - 100k plus 50 Ecto. No! I won't buy them. I will just stay pissed because I am not allowed to be entertained with the image that I would enjoy.

What's this doing in Sardelac?

i c wut u did thar.

/signed. Gimme gimme dolyak prod staff!

/signed

More item variety is a good thing regardless of the reason behind it, but I also support this line of reasoning.

/signed

I'd love some of the skins available as Soul Reaping but with a Curses req instead. Also wonder why Soul Reaping, Energy Storage, Spawning Power, Divine Favor, and Inspiration Magic were used. Mesmer has Fast Casting as a primary attribute, not Inspiration Magic.

/signed

It would be nice to have other reqs on some nice skins, like Platinum Staff.

/signed

Some of the GW:EN staffs are total kick-ass.
But utter shit because of their req.
