I will get straight to the point. Why is there INT stats and no STR stats on the warden gear? The EoF armor set is junk with the AA line options SOE gives wardens. Yes we can go down the Druid Int. line but, it would be useless due to the Warden AA tree. The STR stats would be the intellegent choice on Warden armor instead of INT stats. Since wardens are pretty much forced to go melee via the combat arts route in thier Warden AA tree. Now someone is going to say to balance the druid classes. If that is so, then why not just have Druids period? Instead of having both Furies (offensive druids) and Wardens (deffensive druids).

No argument here, except for the concept of warden/defensive and fury/offensive- This hasn't really been true for quite a while. If wardens had as many defensive buffs as furies had offensive, it would be different.Frankly, I'd like to see the dynamic be warden/melee and fury/caster, giving wardens some buffs that melee classes want- it would give wardens a place in scout groups when not needed in MT group in a raid. Perhaps a group strength buff- since it's so tough to get gear with str/wis (though quite possible, even with some EoF non-class stuff.

i wouldnt mind seeing wardens be melee oriented with there buffs. Cuase like stated above we are considered to be defensive which has never been the case after update 13.

LOL, you think the Warden set is bad. Go take a look at the Troub set. It just oozes suck. The devs have said however that they are not going to change those sets, so just give up and go home.

I don't recall that happening, and if it did they did a VERY good job of ignoring ALL input. They also must have done a good job of deleting the thread, cos it aint there now.Whoever made that set gave us a 7 piece bonus on RAID gear for a buff that just isn't used... ever. The ONLY time Ive ever seen it used was in PvP. They also increased our stealth-attack by 60... yay? We don't have any skills to put us into stealth except our generic 'stealth' button. It takes us almost 4 seconds to get that CA off. It reduces our DPS by ALOT to use that. Consequently, while it may get used on the pull, after that no one touches it.I have to admit that the 6% spell crits for the 5 piece bonus is nice. The chest focus (7% extra chance to trigger Aria) is nice too, but the leg focus is garbage (Enhance our haste spell... we're in MAGE groups, why would we want 4% extra haste on a buff that isn't needed?) The only enhancement I can think of that would suck more for raiding would be to enhance the trigger chance of Requiem of Reflection.Then we have the stats... um INT please? No, that set is total garbage. And no one asked us what we'd like, it seems to have just been assumed that we're like other scouts. (Our relic gear is STR focused as well)EDIT: Wait, there was one dev who came and asked us what we'd like on a piece of gear, but that was for loot from the level 60 guild raids. He was shocked that we wanted INT. Kudos to him for asking, but seriously, those Devs are so out-of-touch it's not funny.

Here are the stats for the EoF class set (thank to Xanadu at) <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.xanadu-community.com/eq2_loot.php?BrowseNPC=1&exp_id=7&pack_id=19&zone_id=77" target="_blank">http://eq2.xanadu-community.com/eq2...d=19&zone_id=77</a>: Warden: Fury:STA 74 90WIS 208 230AGI 15 15INT 191 178STR 0 10HP 1095 1130PP 1150 1125Now with those stats the fury looks more like the defensive/melee druid and the Warden more offensive/dps druid.So what is the deal SOE DEVs?On a personal note, hope SOE DEVs get it fixed soon and do a better job on RoK then this second rate hack job.
