Granted there is no int and all planar items suck now compared to things you can buy for 100p with 3-4 times the stats but this goes to show one thing, dex was and is meant to help in casting. Look at the carmine gloves as well, 12 dex. By the look of it they were trying to have everything related to your hands give dex if it was wizard based since we rely heavily on channeling as the only caster class without a damage taking pet. It's just nice to see how well things used to be planned out when they gave a crap about making the game fun. But now those same guys go on to make the game Vanguard and the minimum system requirements basically doom it to hell. Not exactly a happy ending to a great legacy...
