If any of you remember Ask the Devs #8, we were supposed to get craftable rings that affect only unarmed.

My guess is that the Blast recipes are the ones that will do that. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Handwraps are nothing more than accessories worn in the weapon slot. Enhancing weapons has been, historically, harder to achieve than enhancing the player so they could have decided that it was an happy coincidence for blasts to improve the DPS of the weakest DPS class and left it that way.
I hope that if this is the case they inform us prior to a bunch of people attempting to place such upgrades on their rings and finding out that it doesn't work.

While this maybe obvious to people that are paying attention to or keeping track of old dev statements the average gamer is going to expect the blast effect to work on all weapons....after all, things like seeker, sneak attack, etc affect all weapons.
