1. Lower the percentage chance for caster attributes to be dropped on weapons.
2. Lower the percentage chance for the following effects (they drop like candy): Spell Resistance, Insightful Magical Sheltering, Insightful Physical Sheltering, Assassinate, Insightful Combat Mastery
3. Increase the percentage chance for the following effects: Healing Amp, Deadly
4. Code so that the "rare 3rd bonus effect" compliments the attributes on the item. Assassinate is not a good 3rd effect on caster goggles.
5. Ditch the "Slaying" name on weapons, and go back to Khopesh of (Mob) Bane.
6. Fix the DCs on Paralyzing, etc. They aren't even Improved Paralyzing, just regular DC:17, same as heroic.
7. Make it impossible for Doubleshot to show up on handwraps, and for Assassinate to show up on bows.
8. If enhancements are going to allow DEX/CHA/INT to damage, than you should allow those stats same percentage drop as an attribute with melee oriented gear. It's great that STR users get their +15 STR Belt of Melee Stuff..... what about people using alternate stats to damage? If you can't put CHA/INT on belts, gloves, boots for balance reasons, code so that if CHA/INT shows in that slot, it's Bard, Arti, Rogue Only, UMD 99 to wear otherwise.
1. could use a tweaking maybe, my ek will use mellee "x" of caster weapons gladdly
2. um no these have been missing or are new and there for we need lots of drops to get the right ones in the right spots
3. VERY YES to heal amp dropping more.... deadly seems to drop less than it use to for me so is fine (what is the bonus type on new loot gen amps)
4. they should be more attuned to gear but i see many rouge splashed wizzys they do get into the assassin tree (think invised sneaks followed by booms)
5. the blindness of many of the loot items actual buffs is VERY annoying
6. is lame they left this out of the scaling "algorithms"
7. i think they mentioned they would fix this soon*tm
8. ????? a stat is a stat where ever it goes, but i do miss the openess of gear builds the old system had with any stat any were a stat could drop

they really need to fix a few named items every patch or update,,,, has been needed since u 14 and def since u 17, when they did some items but always quit just shy of actually getting some place...... sigh
