I do think it is a bit surprising there hasn't been much in the way of armour crafting at this point. I love the distribution I have on my titan, which is:
30 mobility
100 res
80 recovery
40 dis
70 int
50 str
I'm not on the game right now, so this is a little inaccurate, but regardless I used that funny third party tool for building the stats I wanted. I think the problem with that is, while I'm perfectly adequate at adding numbers together, there isn't really a streamlined in-game stat distributor, so you can't account for wasted stats, or whether or not the armour is masterworked, for example.
A great deal of my vault space consists of just random 60+ stat Titan armour when I was trying to get what I wanted, and since I may return to change this, I haven't deleted it.
The closest we got to this idea was that incandescent armour from solstice, but I didn't take much advantage of it since I was already happy with mine.
The ghost mods that guarantee +10 in a desired stat might help. They're a bit deceiving though; I forget exactly how I used them but if I remember correctly you actually want to put the stat guarantee that you [i]aren't[/i] looking for, because of the way the stat pools work.
In general though, I think at least some form of armour crafting should be implemented. This would also open up some opportunities for deepsight on artiface and raid perk sets.

Any approach to armor crafting needs to be executed very carefully or there will be almost nothing left to chase but the occasional new exotic.

Edited by Obscure Meme: 12/19/2023 8:12:10 PMOf course. This is why I am hesitant with the whole idea as well. The adept raid weapons excluding the VOG ones are a victim of the crafting system, there is really zero reason to run a master raid when you can just get the regular crafted version. Artiface armour in particular would essentially make everything else irrelevant, so maybe instead of a direct crafting method for specifically artiface armour, they could offer stat "tweaking" - aka adjusting the stat pools using a form of currency earned from said dungeon, on top of ascendant materials, prisms and shards. This would at least limit the changes and make getting a full set still a requirement, while also playing the encounters for the currency to change it.

[/quote] I personally don't agree with this specific example as Adept Mods are desirable for some to be able to equip and you can put enhanced perks on master raid weapons now.

Kinda like D1 glass needles was it? This is ok cause it still makes you participant to make minor changes, not craft perfect armor.

Frankly I didn't know that they enabled the adept weapons to habe the enhanced perks so that's good I guess, but I still feel like the slog of actually playing a master raid would certainly make me not care for that extra +10 range or whatever perk I'd slap on it, lol. But yeah, glass needles is what I was getting at conceptually, just couldn't remember their name.
