I suppose I understand that, but I do think not being able to really upgrade gear beyond 7/8 with normal motes is kind of a good system so the nolifers can't be full +10 already with DDD farming in fear.
Mine is at 7 from just killing Cazic. I will +10 my offhand Wu's Tuesday... then I am not sure. Sky shield for SK is insanely high AC at 10, so maybe that.
If you have bis items and plan to stay subbed you'll get a TON of the void motes between now and Kunark. Getting items beyond +6/7 without those voids is kind of silly.
I was planning to monk, but this change sounds like I may start as spellblade. SK sounds interesting... but I am not sure I love the idea of hunting down monsters for abilities. Never did it in any of the final fantasies where it was required, not sure why I'd choose that for myself.
Ryan Leaf joined my country club two years ago and left mid season last year. They wouldn't put his name on the hole in one board when he made one playing alone. Also he was a huge dickhead.
