how do crafting secondaries work?

[TTom2755]

For example if you look on wowhead this ring

http://www.wowhead.com/item=115798/w...9:618#comments

+207 Intellect
+311 Stamina
+105-157 Haste (~1.46% @ L100)
+105-157 Multistrike (~1.98% @ L100)

does that mean if i am lucky enough and keep using [Taladite Recrystalizer] I can get 157 to both secondaries? or is there a maxed combine number?

[Serissa]

I don't think so. I tried it once on JC ring. Rerolled it about 200 times. Every time I get one stat close to max (let's say 76 for ring) then another was always close to min (around 55). But usually both stat were a bit higher than medium. In range of 52-78 it usually rolled both stats in 66-70.

It's called "stat budget"

[Zelendria]

It's a sliding scale. If one stat goes up the other comes down and they meet in the middle. The most extreme being:
157 Haste
105 Multistrike

Or dead level would be 131 in both stats.

Exactly what the people above have said. It's not Diablo where there could be an item with identical ilvl but better stats.

I used closed to 1400 ore to reroll my ring to what I wanted.

Most of the time (@ level 1 for 52-78) its something like 55 and 77 (132 total), but stat budget has some leeway where you'd be able to get 77 and 59 (136 total) - consistent with most of the samples in the AH too. Very rare would you get two in the middle, but it does happen, looking at a 69 and 69 (138 total) right now. It's better to reroll in the early stages so when it scales up it's fairly even for both stats rather than trying to reroll both when theres a huge fluctuation of 105-157 for a 52 point swing either way whereas at level 1 it's just a 26 point range.

I managed to get a 69 -71 which is a good margin higher (140 total) vs most common 55-77 (132 total). Only 8 secondary points, but when upgraded it scales up for more too and ended up at 135-140 at level 6

Each upgrade was ~13 for the lower then 14 for the higher. I would assume that this would have a slightly higher final stat total than something that started with a 55-77 as it had a higher base to begin with

Hi,

as of all items for gear (trinkets, legendarys gimmicks asside) have the same budget in their category/slottype

chest/head/legs = have the same budget (and so on). ***

all items in this category have the same budget. now, blizzard philosophy for secondary stats: the more apart they are the lower the budget in secondary stats.

that means something like this(those are just example values, but you should get the point):

100 100 (sum 200)
101 99 (sum 200)
104 95 (sum 199) (here the "penalty kicks in")
110 88 (sum 198)
...
and so on

to summarize: the further appart the secondory stats are the lower the sum of both.


***edit: and same ilvl obviously
