All joking aside, I just wanted to take a moment this weekend to let you all know we’re well aware of some of the shortcomings in our itemization system and that it’s high on the list of priorities being worked on.  That being said, please feel free to use this thread to post what you feel would be your ideal high-end item.  Include your class, and please be as specific as possible, but try to keep the ideas within in reason (ie. no breastplates that proc Ice Nova!).  Alternatively, if specifics just aren't your thing, what makes one item more desirable then another for your class? Please keep any comparisons to past itemization civil and constructive.  Additionally, this isn’t the place to debate solo/group/raider play styles. Standard disclaimer applies...no guarantees that anything posted will make it into the game, or be commented on specifically by myself or any other member of the development team.  Rest assured, every idea will be read and noted.  Thanks!  </i></b> Just thought we might want to give input for pvp items we woudl like to see... I would like a potion I could buy from the merchant for say 10g that hides my title for an hour - call it Mud of Concealment. - Blink

How about Bard armor tha tgive str , INT and agi  instead of treating us like scouts and forgeting we need ALL 3 stats

<span style="color: #336600">well...wear some cloth...roflz.</span>

[Radigazt]

How about an item that made every one of your opponent's spells/combat arts take a half-second longer to cast.  So 3 second casts would become 3.5 second casts, and the combat art with the 0.5 second cast time instantly became a 1 second cast time.  It'd sure go a long way towards helping clothies and balancing mele classes, lol.  Make it an instant-cast, give it a duration of 10 seconds with a recast of 15 seconds.  That would really change the way Rogues and Predators dominate PvP, lol.

<p>Ten different full suits of armor for each class for each teir, that have stats that help the said class. On a personal note whats it take to get a good selection of Monk/Brus GI's?</p>
