Belt of Virility  

 

This belt is great for all classes period - all should get shot at it that can use on main --- PERIOD ---- IF your guild is disqualifying you from a roll/bid on this --- then your in the wrong guild

Grieg dropped this belt tonight on the Innoruuk server for Undead Legion. We were really overkill and didn't even have a death. The whole fight lasted less than two minutes and he dropped this belt. We gave it to one of our Rangers. Gratz Aildidar, I hope you enjoy it bro.

Let's face it, this item is good for everyone. If it drops, chances are everyone will want to roll over it, so don't throw a fit if you don't get it. The only way I'd be upset about losing it is if it went to a wis-based caster (shaman, cleric, etc.) which would be a waste of its stats

omg I love the blanket statements people make.

Quote: "melees at this level don't have any difficulty hitting 255 in their prime stats with raid buffs"

Quote: "any caster who gets this is gonna already have max int."

Quote: "any group that has people wearing FBSS's, is probably not uber. In other words, you're not killing him, you're in Velks, looking for a pickup group."

What about new recruits into a guild? What about alts being run as a main on the raid because your normal main isn't necessary for the raid? What about people who've taken an extended break from EQ when the guild wasn't an 'uber' guild? What about server transfer people? Or other people who for one reason or another have lost gear (bugs etc)?

Quote: "So, sure your melee can get one of these. After me. Or over my dead body." or the "I'll quit my guild if this goes to anyone else"

If your guild can kill the mob that drops this, then why do you think they'd only kill this mob ONCE? You may not get the drop this time, but then hopefully the guild will kill the mob several times and get several people the item. If, after 1/2 a dozen drops it still hasn't gone to a class you think really should be getting, then maybe consider quitting, just not on the first coupla drops.

and the generic oft heard
"this is an <insert class here> item"
"any guild doing this is a DKP guild"

Not all uber guilds (tho I think most are) are DKP guilds.

The class an item should go to is determined as follows:
1) However in the hell the guild/person (it could be an open raid heh) decides!

The usual ways in no particular order are:
* DKP
* /random
* raidleader assigned
* plooted :(
* dueled over :)

I could go on...but I need to go and apply the flame retardant.

belt has hast on it now it's 37%

Bottom line is if it's an open role everyone will be rolling.

This is a good item. There is no denying that. Many classes could benefit from having it. Saying it should go to one class or another and getting angry at people who think their class needs it more than yours is a futile waste of time. You won't get this solo. You won't get it with five of your closest friends. You won't get it with a pick-up raid either. The only way you will get it is with a guild (or maybe more than one guild depending on power level of guild). That being said, this piece of loot will be given to someone based on whatever rules your guild uses for doling out loot. If you get as bent out of shape over who gets it as many people have on this thread, then your guild will probably kick you out.

I play a monk, and yes, I would most definitely like to have this one day when I get haste in a different slot. But, if perchance I get a better haste item in a different slot and my guild gets this item and it is not awarded to me, I will be patient knowing that my day will eventually come.

P.S. When I say "you", I am referring to whomever reads this and not to any of the previous posters.

Ahhh, back again in wonderment of this fine piece. Only to find *dramatic pause* hypocrites. Oh god no, not that. Ye say my remark made in jest about INT was 'a dumb excuse'. Hi, did I make an excuse? No, no excuses here. Ultimate Power you say? Ah yes, the ultimate power being giving an immense amount of aide to the wearer, which would also carry the stipulation that it may not require the wearer utilizes all of the stats. Moreover, 'SK item!' now I might take that as objective speech if it wasn't coming from SK's. The same SK's that are saying "Monks are greedy because they think everything with low weight and high AC is a Monk item". Well take a deep breath for this one, junior... Just because an item has INT and high AC it sure as heck doesn't make it an SK item. And now, let's throw in the chanters. Ah yes, god love ya, you're great in groups AND on raids and needed most everywhere. But wait! Now you're also claiming precedence for an item while out of the other side of your mouth saying Monks are greedy bastiges that claim items as /gasp! MONK items? What a concept. It's those Monks, I tell you, greedy genetics. Why, no one claims items for their own class, only the Monks. Let's try this on for size. First off, realistically speaking, this mob is slain by guild efforts. Not pick up raids or multi group efforts at random but guild events. Now usually the main tanks and main puller(s) will have priority. Now am I saying no one else can get this? Nosirree bob! But this is the 'normal' way loot is dealt out. With your attitude of 'if this item was ever handed out to anyone other than *insert class here* I'd quit the guild' rest assured, you'll not have to worry about having a guild to quit. Am I ranting? Heck naw. I'm just saying look at yourself before you start complaining and moaning at folks like me who acknowledge that an item is nice. I said I'd like to have it as a Monk, didn't say it was exclusive. Perhaps a strategy some of ye SK and Chanter types could learn from. Lighten up 'n play the game for fun, not lewtz :/
