I bought this item for my chanter. It is a magnificent piece for any caster. If people would look beyond their own selfish noses, they would note that 1: Casters do not have a great deal of A/C items available. 2: Casters will have usually maxed out on INT and are severely deficient in STR and DEX, erstwhile tanks should be maxed on STR and DEX. Yes casters, this is a lovely item and more so because the earring is the most ideal slot available for zero INT/Mana items.

Got mine today on E'ci on a PUBLIC raid of Yelinak. That is right, PUBLIC raid killed Yelinak and I won a roll ) I am happy, this ranger now has an unbuffed melee dex of 233.
Yes this item can be used by everyone. No not everyone should be allowed a chance at it. Yelinak is pretty tough dragon and minimum level for the raid is 59 or so and you need like 40 people to kill him. By the time you are at this level of play you don't just say "It's all/all, and I as a druid would use this item, so I roll for it." When you are in a Yelinak capable guild first off items don't get rolled on. The item goes to whoever will benefit from it the most. This item would help your guild's main tank more then it would help some wizard or some crap so it goes to the tank, no rolls and no questions asked. You are just a moron if you're a caster saying you deserve a shot at this earring. If you look at Yelinak's loot table there's an earring quite similar to this one but with caster stats, go /drool all over that thread this one is meant for melee. Go ahead and post replies to my post that say the same old **** blah blah blah I'm a enchanter and I want this earring cause I get hit a lot trying to mez blah blah blah if you try to pull that **** on the raid you will just get kicked out!
Honestly, I don't think you get the relativity. How many items get gifted to the Main Tank? How many Cryptmasters Dart 's get re-rolled and replaced by the infamous Soul Defiler? How many items does it take to fill bank space and/or thrown into the void known as the DESTROY button? And, reversely, How many attend the raid? Weekly? Every time? You can't Trump a position, call him president, and expect the blue-collar working class who 'run the city, getting paid cents to the dollar to build home after home, skyrise after highrise, development after project; tend their fields after endless hours of backbreaking work in the blazing sun; and still genuinely concede a top position should, in fact, get well over 100k/year. This was genuinely a good item for near any class. You wanna do the math beforehand and ensure you really are maxed in STR and DEX? or is this simply a decent resist item? to be switched in methodical cadence by type of boss? And reversely watch as your ranks rise and dwindle through the stresses of time; the ins and outs and reality of necessity; tiring, calculative, testing; to carry a gang of 30+ adventurers, all dealing relatively in part with you: all vocal, needy, wanting, entrusting; greedy; but, as it stands, you still are the one carrying this crowd; why shant you deserve the prized lusters. when you obv pave the way
Quest Line: I get it. We're raiding Yelinak; top-notch raid; seldom guilds can even take this feat. If you're smart; brilliant; coy; even less-geared; passively pass on the roll as a caster. If you are maxed on the important stats (int + sta), I don't see how these persons couldn't possibly factor in.. This certainly isn't the creme de la creme for Velious xpac for earrings. Aside from simply being submissive, I don't see how a caster isn't entitled. And for sure of all don't understand the venom from you melee classes!

It show's your considerate, it helps everyone out to get uber shiznit, etc. Stupid fookin casters and them wanting to roll on a "NO DROP" earring like this. You deserve to be casterated! You casters better watch your backs, and watch the shadows.
The reason tanks dont roll on caster items is because they have absolutly NO use for mana, and do not need INT whatsoever. Casters can use most stats some how or another, and AC and +HP is good for anyone. Im not saying this is a caster item but that's why. Think a little sometimes.
You guys are all wrong. Someone will end up with this earring because it would be a shame to let it rot, but I can assure you that no-one in a guild capable of getting this will be overjoyed about it. By the time you are taking out Yelinak regularly the tanks are no longer interested in AC. The functional AC cap for a warrior going up against lvl 65-60 mobs is around 1250, which is super easy to get (I have 1237 with 0 buffs). Tanks want HIT POINTS, which this lacks badly. I'll keep my +35hp black sapphires till I can get Vulak earrings....I wouldn't even put my name in for this.

Posted:Jul 28 2001 at 12:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The item is for ALL/ALL. Therefore, ALL should get a chance to roll the dice, even if it doesn't make a damn bit of sense and the winner is a greedy *******. Life sucks this way, deal with it!
Um the item is no drop, hence can't be sold, and in all likelihood when the caster that "won the roll" on this item came across a good mana/int earring he would be whining to be let in on that too, then this puppy would end up banked or <shudder> destroyed.
I'm a lvl 57 mage and i would like this item. And god damnnit ill start my own Caster guild if i have to 2 get these earrings.Infact thats what ill do. if your on the vallon zek server e-mail me bman787@hotmail.com

Caster 1 casts to pull dragon and dies caster 2 attempts same thing etc etc until your all dead or all casters send there pets dragon destroys them and has lost about 20% hps then slaughters rest of the group and also do you really think youll find any clerics willing to aid in such a suicide mission? I think not but give it a try and when you have manages to slaughter 40 casters and nobody will group with you anymore casue your lost and havent a clue how battles in the high end game work what will you do then? answer make a tank also noticed your on a zek server so you will attack dragon weaken it a little bit adn then a guild capable of killing yelinak will come in and slaughter your raid and then take the dragon.

Posted:May 03 2001 at 4:39 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You all argue over silly things, there are 2 versions of this earing one is suited for melee and the other that offers all the same stats except INT instead of dex, now you may all babble on about this debate of who should roll and who shouldnt, you are all n00b ******* heads and you will in all likely hood never ever see lord yel or engage him for that matter. when you belong to a big well organized guild debates like this are not an issue.

Posted:Apr 24 2001 at 5:43 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) they should change the class: all to something like class: RNG WAR PAL SHD MNK BRD ROG so I dont have to scroll through the mindless comments like I'm a mage and I demand to roll on this item blah blah blah blah... No guild able to take out the dragon this drops off of would ever, EVER, let this absolutly awsome earing go to a caster, no amount of ********* screeming, crying, etc would ever get you this earing, the only way a caster would get this is if he ninja looted it... Then you'd be black-listed with your own guild.
And probably with any other guild that heard of the incident, hell ninja looting an item like that could get you a warning if your guild pushed for it. As both a melee person and a caster I would smack any caster that even asked to be in on the roll for this, where you get this there are so many awesome caster earrings that add mana and int why on earth would you bother with this. You know all you casters who whine about wether you should roll for this, you seem to forget a single truth with out tanks you could never even dream of an item like this or its mana bearing equivelant. Because with out tanks to pull the mob off your over nuking/over healing bad playing *** you would be so much smear on the ground. For those of you that don't over nuke or over heal, this wasn't directed at you because you already know you don't need this item.
