No Crafting Extra Slot on Weapons for Casters?

[HuneyMunster]

Unless I missed any while going through them all I did not see any effects suitable for caster that can be added in the extra slot.

I see melee effects such as insightful deadly, seeker and ability damage, but no insightful spell power or spell focus for casters etc.

Was this an oversight or intentional?

Insightful spellpower is an extra effect on gloves, rune arms and trinkets. (It is also a suffix on weapons)

Insightful spell penetration is an extra effect on goggles, gloves, rune arms, and trinkets

Efficient Metamagics are extra effects on rune arms, and trinkets.

Insightful focus is a suffix on goggles.

I know these effects can be crafted on other items. My point was that there are no effects that can be crafted on extra slot for weapons that are aimed at casters.

The only neutral effect is insightful balance, but that would only be suitable for 1 of the 2 weapons you craft as they don't stack when used on both. The addition of other insightful skills like spellcraft, heal, perform and repair would be sufficient additions.

Options I have on other classes are seeker, deadly, stat damage on hit and tactical abilities. Unless I am missing something like stat damage on weapons also apply the effect on spell cast which would be a nice new effect to add.

Basically, OP is saying that you can't craft Spellpower + Spell Lore + Insightful Spellpower on a caster stick.
Which I agree is hella stupid.

You can blame the shortsighted group of posters that only play barbarians that felt that weapons should only have damage effects and should be of no benefit to casters.

When they TR into a casting class... They can smash their heads into the wall.
