    Just wondering if someone at SOE would mind taking another look at this:

    Recommended level of 95. Required level of 90.
    Effect: Earth Shiver (Combat, Casting Time: Instant)
    Focus: Sympathetic Force of Magic X
    WT: 7.5 Size: LARGE
    Class: DRU
    Race: ALL
    Slot 1, Type 8 (General: Raid)
    Slot 2, Type 20 (Ornamentation)

    Yeah, it's a decent weapon, not great, mind you, but about RoF tier 2 level.

    And the Sympathetic Force of Magic X is quite nice, really happy with the damage amount, although one wonders why it isn't fire, since that is what we can debuff and use most. Or maybe that was the point, to give us something that can do a lot of damage, but then make it not work with our best debuff, as "balance". Still...

    My question is this. Why does it have Earth Shiver, a level 66 PBAE as a proc? Please, SOE, either give us something useful or just remove it.

    Pretty sure this one has a PBAE proc because so did the original.

    Yep, same reason the new Blight has a DoT proc.

    The proc makes it a neat toy for faction farming, slayering, or whatever other reason you'd have for killing lots of trivial mobs.

    Definitely a pretty fun tool for a druid to have in lowby con killing situations.
