A general item would have a chance of '''smartly crafting''' as it were a class-appropriate main stat, unless the item can only be worn by a particular class. If, for an example, a Demon Hunter crafted a Mighty Belt (an item only the Barb can wear) it will not roll with a main stat of Dexterity, the main stat of the Demon Hunter or Monk but rather Strength.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/new-info-on-loot-2-0-smart-drops-and-transmog-in-ros Class specific crafting] - Blizzard Entertainment, 05/11/13</ref>
