Raid armor and betrayal.

[Odys]

<p>Some classes being totally ignored by the dev -- as example for mysterious reasons the offensive druid is  much better at protecting a group than the defensive one -- we should be able to keep our raid armor after betrayal. We don't choose to betray, we have too because the our alternate class is way better, and it's not subjective an almost formal proof of it could be given.</p><p>So we are punished (we restart with apprentice spells) because SOE does not devote any ressources to bring some form of balance to the classe.</p><p>We can certainly do with it, buy 30 rares, get expert crafted, buy masters ....</p><p>But we cannot buy armor. SF armor was not lost after a betrayal,  all you needed was to change the red adornements when they were class specific. A similar systems should be used for DOV, which means a NPC trading armor.</p><p>For sure i would prefer extreme unbalance issues to be addressed, but i don't think it will happen.</p>

<p>Well i apparently missed your topic. The current situation would be acceptable if they were fixing broken classes. But they apparently love to ignore the fact that furies are indeed more defensive than warden and bring more dps and utility.</p><p>Almost everyone around me ask me to betray, i do well in raids but i know for sure that i would do as well as a furie while bringing more utilities + cool stuff (porcupine, HOT when curing, animal form, granting a cure to someone, hibernate, peerless predator, raid cure ....) etc  ...</p><p>I don't plan to betray for fun or because i picked the wrong class. I took the healer which was defined as the defensive druid. But time have ruined wardens.</p><p>If Rosvita one of the most active warden betrayed there is a reason for it. I would love to stay a warden, but the fury is so much better that i have almost no choice.</p><p>So i indeed consider that i should keep my armor, and i m ready to loose my adornment and a few shards.</p>
