Got back a couple days ago from being out of state with family or this would have been put up last week. Gear wise for the F2P crowd, this is some info: - The very 'basic' Tier 1 items are NOT prestige. - Augments will be prestige. - Some tier 1 chase items will be prestige. - All tier 1 items are attunable. WEAPON CHOICES AS OF 11/26 (so things could change before release) * Note there is a new mana return proc for healing spells in this expansion called "Sympathetic Invigorating Burst". It works exactly how the detri mana return for nukes works but this time works on heals. Note, with this, there is a change in BP focus (see below in next section for details) * There is also an augment for weapons (slot 4/8) with this new healing mana return proc called "Helping Hand".

http://www.eqaasearch.org/RoF-VoAGearComparison.jpg It looks at the averages of each focii and determines where VoA raid is better than RoF group, where they are identical and where RoF group is better than VoA raid. Key findings: Beneficial / Detrimental Range - VoA raid gear is better for lvl 96-99 spells. - RoF group gear is better for lvl 100 spells. Beneficial / Detrimental Duration Extension - VoA raid gear is better for lvl 96-99 spells. - Both VoA raid and RoF group are equal on lvl 100 spells. Beneficial / Detrimenal Mana Preservation - VoA raid gear is better for lvl 96-98 spells. - Both are equal on lvl 99 spells. - RoF group gear is better for lvl 100 spells. Beneficial Spell Haste - VoA raid gear is better for all lvl spells. At no time is RoF group gear better. Detrimental Spell Haste - VoA raid gear is better for lvl 96-98 spells. - Both are equal on lvl 99 spells. - RoF group gear is better for lvl 100 spells. Improved Healing / Improved Magic / Improved Chromatic / Improved Fire (dependent on which VoA raid tier you have) If you are wearing VoA tier 4 with the 30-100 focus - VOA is better for lvl 96-97 spells. Both are equal at lvl 98 spells, and RoF is better for lvl 99-100 spells. If you are wearing VoA tier 3 with the 25-100 focus - VOA is only better for lvl 96 spells. Both are equal at lvl 97 spells, and RoF is better for lvl 98-99-100 spells. If you are wearing VoA tier 2 with the 20-100 focus - VOA is only better for lvl 96 spells. RoF is better for lvl 97-98-99-100 spells. If you are wearing VoA tier 1 with the 15-100 focus - RoF is better for all lvl spells. At no time is VoA raid tier 1 gear better.
Durew's Mace of Inverse Logic (CLR DRU SHM) - 1HB 139dmg 24dly, 85ac 2885HP 3021mana (Melee: Hand of Holy Vengeance VI / Spell: Sympathetic Healing Burst VIII) Happy for Durew.. He is the person I have know the longest in everquest... we go back to Runes of War guild on Veeshan server... good person... stil jelious that i dont have a item named after me.. but if I had to pick someone else to have one named after it woudl be Durew.
You could always choose my weapon, and put a mana returning aug in it instead It looks better anyways!
