Right now the difference between uber-prepping/quest gearing is like:
Me <---------------------------------------------------> Them
Should be more like:
Me <----------> Them
As a repost :
1) Better non-limited items near hero that can be purchased (reduce the playing field difference between the uber-stacked and newly regeared).
To expand here - would be cool to be able to buy something equiv to scorched iron gear @ hero, midnight/white worm gear @ 35 or 40.
2) Less gear reliance in general (nerf prayer beads, nerf heartseeker, limit the amount of game-changing gear).
To expand here - over the years playerbase has declined but ubergear has been expanded so probably needs a general rebalance.
3) Remove all wands except for aura and give shield/barrier to mages as class perks - reduce barrier dam redux by half.
Started this with shield, which is good. Should continue the trend imho.
4) Consolidate preps - remove stoneskin preps, remove shield preps and reduce rager resist from 33% to 25%.
Things like blowfish are just 'another unnecessary thing' IMHO.
