Update 5 epic item changes

[ddoer]

This seems appropriate for this thread, so reposting it here:

...

• Green Blade: Upgrade Lesser Potency IX to Potency IX.
• Staff of Arcane Power: Upgrade Recharge to 10/day. Add Archmagi. Add Arcane Augmentation IX. Add Colorless Augment Slot. Add Exclusive.
• Staff of Inner Sight: Upgrade +1 Spell Focus Mastery to +2 Spell Focus Mastery.

...

The following Epic items have been modified. Existing versions have been retroactively changed, there is no additional benefit to running them through the Altar of Epic Rituals with dungeon tokens:

• Ring of Spell Storing: SP heal reduced to ""Greater Mnemonic"" (55 - 300 sp).

...

I'm most excited about the Staff of Inner Sight change. Int +7 with +2 DC to all schools makes it one of the best end game gear for wiz. The Staff of the Petitioner is still slightly better for the -10% spell cost, but the two are close.

Edited:
and there is a really bad nerf to all of us. I've copied my caster to the test server and confirmed it.

- Casters rejoice as melees get all the nerfed?!? WRONG! Bauble NERFED! Now only grants greater mnemonic instead of major. Less SP for everyone!

Hmm... The epic ring of spell storing is now 532.5sp on average (total, all 3 clickies). It is still quite good but not ridiculously overpowering like it was before.

Considering I tote around a hundred major pots and can buy a gazillion super pots from the ddo store at will... hard to call the spell storing ring "overpowering". Maybe... convenient. Quaint. Nice maybe. Overpowering... no.

"Epic" Spell Storing Ring overpowered? Anyone played an "Epic" quest lately? With their 3000-5000 HP (Almost 10 times the HP of a normal monster), I hardly call 3 Major SP pots overpowering. All casters do in Epic is: Firewall, Buff, Mass Hold. We are pretty much Bards with Firewall now. A Polar Ray or any other spell is pretty much a waste of SP. I'm not even going to mention the hassle to upgrade a Epic Desert item, I haven't seen an LFM for any epic desert quest in a month, minus the occasional Zawabi's Revenge, and waiting for a group for that takes a life time.

Im hoping the epic napkin will have stat and DC increases simliar to that item.

I don't see what's the reason behind the nerf. so we casters are overpowered because we have too many sp? are we dealing too much damage in compare to melee classes?
