On crafted, I have to say good and bad job. 2 Crafted pieces
were made really nice. +5 STR on the Gauntlets and +5 AGI on the
boots. 1 piece was made so-so, the bracers +2 dex (+2 int also but
warriors dont need int). The rest is shall we say....crap? Pauldrons,
2 magic resist? BS Mantle is better, by far. Helm- +5 WIS and +5 CHA??
Yeah, warriors need more mana and a lot more help for their charm
spells. Greaves- +2% resist on 2 attacks, whooppee. I'll take my large
steel kilt any day. More AC and no gay baby blue color. Store bought,
and better too. :p Chest plate? Well if +STA meant anything it'd be
nice, but it only adds extra HPS for 1 level, not all levels back to
you being a level 1 newbie. It's much better to add 5 or 10 STA at
newbie levels then obtain dex, agi, and str items than to try to get
more hit points at high levels by adding STA. Bottom line, crafted
stats stink except the gloves, boots, and wrist bracer. Helm is
totally useless statwise. Exe hood is much better. Most warriors I
know are picking and choosing the pieces since the rest stinks.
Why waste time modifying crafted with stats undesirable to warriors?
How about adding useful stats? Instead of +5 WIS and +5 CHA, add
something that a warrior cares about. Which would be AC, Health,
Strength, Dex, and AGI. Take your choice. Do the same for the other
pieces.

Int or Wis (depending on which is higher, it goes with that) gets u faster skill ups

Telinnnnnnn, warriors might be getting +wis they shouldn't get! This can't be allowed to continue!
