Having been out of game for close to 2 years, I have noticed that much has changed. In going through my accounts, I also noticed that none of my toons ( according toi what I am told) are Uber (or whatever thje correct term is). They were in fact fairly uber when i left the game sometime just before Omens came out.
What I need to know what it is that makes gear..the uberest or best. People say that the DoDH gear is great, That time gear is greta and so on. Why is this so?
As an example..when a friend and myself went back into game for the free 3 weeks or so, my friend was using a Wurmy that I had on my SK for eons. Everyone told him that it sucked, though we felt the dmg was good. And us, being "old school", him more so than myself, we couldnt quite understand why people were saying it was a crappy weapon... We had always comr to believe that it was all about the dmg...we were told stats mattered so much more...
Incidently, my wizard is 58, and at 58 he has an int of 250 unbuffed. I was also told that nowadays that didnt matter so much now. I was even more coinfused then, seeing as how a wizzies int is his power and thats all he has..so the more int the more mana... Is that true still or did the rules change on it.
Any insight on this would be most appreciated. I am returning soon and from the sounds of it, the toons will be in need of upgrades....
/sigh

basically the top end gear of expansions is good, the newer the expansion the better, if you really need gear, try doing the Dodh MMs, its reasonable equipment, and bargain for the ease to obtain.
edit: oh and another quick point, with newer items the amount of mana/hp you get on them is insane, so you can get more mana thru choosing items with pure mana rather than than using items to max your intelligence.

I would love to give a 10 word answer. so many factors.
Raw HP/Mana
Resists
Regen and Mana Regen
Focus Effects
The new gear covers more and more of these at the same time. Click on my Magelo link below, using the Mod and Mod2 buttons to look at all the things my gear brings me. It's.. amazing. Compared to my twinked Luclin Cleric.
INT will want to be capped.. but it will be. Mine is 415, and I still have more beyond that is wasted. Yes, INT = Mana.. look again at my profile.. the amount of "Direct" (+Mana) versus "Indirect" (from stats) Mana. As you see, I get a lot from Stats.. but less than the Direct Mana in my gear.
Focus Effects > all though.. *giggles*
As to why your Wurmslayer is teh suck.. I know it's slow and high ratio.. but I am caster, and that's a melee question.
