i don't know how many casters get into a melee fight and take aggro, but my guess would be most casters dont have dodge maxed out...this nice +5% would quite kick *** for them. grats to those who obtain it
I can only speak from the shaman standpoint, but most of the shaman I know have dodge and defense maxed out very soon. I'm guessing enchanters do as well. I slow a mob, quite often it decides to come beat on me, especially if it's one that the MA has not engaged yet. A good shaman will be on the ball slowing all the adds brought in so 1) the enchanter has a better chance of mezz not being interrupted, and 2) helping to draw some aggro away from the enchanter so they can get off a mezz.
As for the item itself, it is VERY nice, and I am sure all classes that can use it would be extremely happy getting it.
Any caster who doesn't spend the time to max out his dodge skill should be fed to Naggy. Even though dodge caps out at 75 for us int casters I do still dodge an attack occasionally, and me dodging may be the difference between a wipe out and a safe evac. I can't imagine not having both my dodge and defense skills maxed. Olurin Spelweaver Wizard of the 45th Beatdown
