I agree. The expantion had potential, but the lineological progression of the loot and tables thereof are vappid by comparrision to the previous expantion(s).
Something must have gone very awry over at SoE hq.
And this,sadly,is only one of many examples of loot illthought in this expantion.
I meen the general rule, that this expansion seem to follow as well, is that if an item has a focus effect then it won't have as many additional modifiers. So an otherwise awesome item, gets screwed over for a silly illusion!!!!!
I very much hope that SoE fired the numb brained **** that made the loot for this expansion.
2yrs later but still ... what focus effects? That statement is moronic. It's a clicky toy for those who want illusion high elf. Name one unlimited such clicky for all/all. Similar to the iksar shoulders in Demiplanes, this is a toy with a few stats for eye candy.
