Items missed with 3/31 patch

[threat111]

<p>Eye of the Shadow Beast - didnt get the MA adjustment all the other charms got.</p><p>Looming Sadness Gorget - missing crit bonus</p><p>Enraging Wristlet of the Changeling - This item lost 20ma, but similar wrists from heroic content remained the same</p><p>Not sure if its intended, but a large amount of heroic items still have ridiculous amounts of MA when compared to Raid slots.</p>

[Brildean]

<p>Fighter cloaks also got missed on getting something useful on them.. maybe a hate mod increase of 10%</p>

[Oink]

<p>Barrier of Swirling Spirits from challenge mode bitelimb missed as well, now worse than easy-mode loot.</p><p>And it appears while easy-mode mage pieces went from +30 to +33 for subjugation and disruption, HM is still at +30 skills, probably many others missed in this area too.</p>

[Darchon6]

<p>Frozen Icepaw Head, Shard of Destruction, Rime Coated Blade of Ice, and Crystal Shard of Rime didn't receive MA either.  Please look into fixing them too.</p>

[Etruscus]

<p>I've been told that TOFS T1 armor sets are > that Velks T2 armor sets now. Is there any truth to this?</p>

[Shrag]

<p>The charm from an x2 mob currently blows the scout charms off tormax and the reward for killing tserrina out of the water</p><p>Here is the dropped x2 charm</p><p><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h26/raloorn/charmsx2.jpg" width="306" height="299" /></p><p>Here is the Statue of Rallos zek charm(left) with the end reward for killing x2 Tserrina(right)</p><p><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h26/raloorn/charmsx4.jpg" /></p><p>Kraytocs x4 charm is nice, these however are pretty terrible.</p>

[Trynt]

<p>Contested x2 charm being better than the instanced x2 charm is probably a good thing.  But the Statue's Shard of Destruction could definitely use some love.</p>

<p>Did you intend for Heroic Temple charms to be better then EM Statue charms?</p><p>Did you intend for  Heroic Temple fighter charms to be 7 potency / cb and the healer ones to be 6.8?</p><p>Did you intend for these new necks to be worse then UD necks, or do you possibly not understand the difference between a potency/cb boost and an extra ward proc for healers that don't primarily cast wards? (p.s. suck it up put a proc on the new necks or let us adorn them)</p><p>Slightly OT and more of a general complaint, but I think you missed taking a second look at the raid armor focus effects.  Focus's that made sense when we wore T1 SF don't automatically make sense now that we're supposed to be going beyond T4, particularly any focus effect that effect cast speed, or reuse, that have been capped since T2 SF gear. (p.s. 70 resuse/cast speed are cap for some healers)</p><p>I don't like blowing 15 aa on cast speed and reuse reductions to get my heal range bump, but I understand why I have to, you can't just go back and change the old aa to match the new gear, and back when they were new they were probably useful.</p><p>I get very annoyed that my new DoV gear, Inq Legs for example, has a focus effect that is essentially nothing. Proving to me that either no human had a hand in their creation, or that the one that did had no concept of what someone that would wear that item generally has for their stats.</p>

In a lot of cases, these items are 0.1% better than Legendary drops from the same zones. The shield that can be crafted from it is actually worse than the Legendary shield from Throne of Storms, because it has no multi-attack on it.</p>

The first is a picture of the charm off like the 3rd named in the zone, who is an utter joke.</p>

<p>Stats on the Heroic Instance chest pieces are better then the stats on the x2 raid BP's</p>

<p>Nothing needs nerfed, the items that drop off harder mobs need to be buffed</p>

[Kaszan]

<p>Riposte on scout items is stupid, I really don't care what it's replaced with as long as it is replaced.  At the moment some of the fabled mastercrafted gear for scouts has it making them useless.</p><p>I'm not sure if it has been mentioned (yes probably too lazy to check) but shouldn't the x4 cloaks have red slots?</p><p>Two handers are still a bit pointless. Perhaps introducing a new adornment slot type (say green) and add a merchant in Thurgadin with 5 or 6 adornment.</p><p>Finally the new x4 necks are a bit garbage. They should include a unique proc of some type for each archtype. AoE melee proc for scouts much thanks :p</p>

[Wirewhisker]

<p>Still no haste on priest gear this expac...Inquisitors everywhere mourn.</p>

[Leovinus]

<p>The fighter and scout necklaces from the signature line have zero (0) MA on them, making them absolute trash in light of the recent revamps.  I believe they were missed, or at least hope that's the case.</p>

You may think it's useles, but is uncontested avoidance useless for all scouts? Again, situationally (and I'm thinking soloer's mostly here) it's useful. Not the best choice for a stat, but it isn't useless to everyone.</p>
