Why do I keep getting Caster Great Weapons?

[GnomeRaider]

With the new loot gen weapons I have had to craft all my low level weapons, getting something to drop with melee attributes is a lot more difficult now.

Hopefully they will be adjusting the attributes, if they do not then crafting will probably be very important for melee. I have even searched the vendors and AH and have not found anything close to what I can craft for the weapon I am looking for.

I haven't seen a single decent Melee Greatsword, Greataxe or Maul since the Update!


My Barb is using a Quarterstaff! {A Vorpal of Deadly 2 Quarterstaff! Why couldn't I find that on a Greatsword or G-Axe? Or even a Maul?}.


And yes I have quest end rewards based on Class checked - I rechecked it to see if it made a difference - it doesn't!

I am seeing a disproportionate ratio of Caster effects on melee weapons and handwraps. either with Prefix or suffix or both...
Even my casters don't have much interest in mixed caster/melee items.
Makes for a lot of vendor trash items.

Would like to see the calculation tweaked a bit so that if a item has a caster tangent it is given a higher likelihood (95%) of being a purely caster item and same for melee..
Like Greataxe/falchion/handwraps/rapier/etc///.. Melee weapon 95%.. 5% caster... 95% melee prefix/95% melee suffix
Quarterstaff.. 25% melee ... if intial roll has it fall on the 25% melee.. then prefix/suffix are 95% melee chance.
whatever %'s for weapons let them be more focussed to melee/caster (keep that 5% for those that may want something unusual)

Seeing too much bleed over for caster lores with a melee prefix or a cster prefix with some melee suffix which in most cases pushes the majority of the items into straight to trash category.

In the old loot system, it was cute to see a bastard sword with spell power and spell lore.

Now it's 90% of weapons has some confusing name with spell power, or spell lore, but not both (which is most desirable)

Ex:
Bastard sword of deadly
*expected: +deadly
*mod not named: combustion

Ex: nullified short bow
expected: nullification
mod not named: doubleshot

WHAT I WANT
I actually do have lots of gish builds, and I'm fully in support of them, but generally, the ONLY spellpower items I save are those with matching elements on them.

It's way too confusing in the middle of battle to switch to:
ice spellpower, fire lore
(fire spellpower somewhere else, ice lore somewhere else)

I just switch to:
ice spellpower + ice lore
fire spellpower + fire lore

If I have that spellpower or lore in offhand, it would have to be a very static item (i.e. body) for me to build it into my framework, and even then, those items often get outpaced by weapon lore/spellpower very quickly.

For me, MIXED ELEMENT CASTER ITEMS ARE VENDOR TRASH.
The only okay scenario would be something like:
[matching spellpower + matching lore]
[secondary spellpower]
i.e. Belashyrra's scepter
