Guess you got lucky.

I don't think so. Which build are you playing?
With Sharn gear my melee friends have reduced their kobold beatdown times by 5 seconds.
And arcane casters also will significantly improve their DCs...

so let me get this right, your complaining that arcane casters dc's have gone up in a game where
the dc's for arcane casters where already good enough for the content the game has made.

maybe just maybe the result of the new loot means people can drop a feat for spell pen and
also can drop maybe a twist or a feat for dc's and take something else, well for me thats a result.

i play hybreds so this is great news its a great opportunity to up the melee part while still maintaining
my dc's thats a win.

GOO ES warlock, <20 reaper points but I solo clear everything Legendary R1 in current and sharn content, with group scaling for 3/4 people in place.

Already have all the con and cha gear I can get, If I really really mess with builds, I stay a couple points down, loose 200 hps maybe, gain 20 PRR and MRR, and end up with the healer set (for light dps) ... which means my healing is thru the roof just about offsetting the general loss of survivability. And no space for artifact. And dropping lesser displace/ghostly on gear, which I can offset by spamming displacement but perma is much more reliable.

Or I could stay with existing gear and ... carry on doing everything Leg R1 solo... and wonder why I got ultimate pack for an expansion that offers me no gear!

No doubt some strong builds go stronger while other builds didn't. As long as your are playing one of the favored builds you win.

Try gearing a DPS Earth Sorc. You'll be hard pressed to find a single Sharn item that does not cost more than it gives.

That's very true. If we talk about endgame and high-reaper, some builds (like DPS sorc or ES warlock) are almost useless and will remain useless after Sharn.
