Amulet of the Dreadgazer  

 

I don't really understand why anyone seriously delves into this 'item belongs to so and so' discussion. The fact is, whether you like it or not, alot of guilds capable of doing these mobs deem certain items as melee priorities, others as caster priorities. Does it mean a shaman will never get an item that is favored to be given to a warrior? No, but it means that usually they'll have to wait in line.

Does this item belong to a certain class? On it's face, not really. Does it belong to a certain sect of classes? No, not really. Many guilds do give priority to certain classes, I happen to be in one that does mobs of this caliber and we do give priority to certain classes or a sect of classes (i.e. Melee, Hybrids and Casters). Does anybody get screwed by this? No, not at all. Because it ensures that when items drop that best suit a certain class, they are doled out to someone in that class/sect. So, everyone gets the same, fair treatment.

As for an item 'starting alot of fights', this is also untrue. In a high end guild of responsible players, we don't fight for anything. In fact, we're quite glad to see our guildmates get new items and better their gear. Every person that gets something is congratulated and their guildmates are genuinely happy for them.

Some guilds use point systems, whereas if you've got the points, you can get the item regardless of your class. Nobody at the high end game is going to /random 200 300 though, I assure you. If not a point system, you will send a tell to the lotto master, they will put your name in the lotto and assign you a number, if 13 people go in for the item, they'll roll 1 to 13, if they roll a 13, whoever was listed at 13 just won a nifty new trinket. T'aint brain surgery.

As for this item, it's a very nice item for a multitude of players. Has a little something for everything and the bonus of Ultravision for we night blind types is quite nice, and see invis is a dandy thing to have as well. As a previous post stated, some will pass, they'll already have better, some will need better. But if a guild says they want to equip their hybrids with this first, well, that's where reality's at. Nothing to whine about.

I'm a Monk, as a Monk, this item would be a nice upgrade from my current neck piece. But this isn't a Monk item, per se. It's just another nice item dropped from a tough mob that you'll never have a chance to kill if you spend too much time here arguing about who gets what.

And for the record, if no one posts saying 'Monk item!' where's the logic in saying things like 'NOT A MONK item!'. Just further contributes to rhetoric everyone complains about. Mostly, the people that do this probably aren't even really Monks. They just like to get under someone's skin.

Can't we all just get along? :p
