Channeler and Rangers excluded from Planar Weapon Essences?

While the majority classes are currently enjoying max planar levels on their primary epic weapon as well as any number of pretty spiffy ranged items that are in the game, so far I have yet to find a single choice for Channelers or Rangers to use in their primary hand since our epics are our ranged items.

Even the Skewer, the Equalizer given to most players is a great choice for many players, but no arrangements were made for players who would be forced to trade in their epics unfairly.

Putting these two classes at a stat disadvantage unable to level the additional item with the essences.

Any hope of seeing something added?

They have done mate there is a primary weapon drops in Torden EH Expert with Equalize on it, BIS for ranger/channeler I think and better stats than the Skewer although not upgradeable

Another consideration may be Nox Noctis from Shard of Hate ( https://u.eq2wire.com/item/index/4121181760 ) it is a level-able weapon and also has the Equalize (cmit debuff).

Not seen that one, yeah Nox Noctis is better as it's up gradable

hmmm wonder what that nox noctis weapon looks like fully leveled up....

Thanks for the info, I have to say these are poor substitutions for the wide range of items available as range items. Currently the T1 raid 1h still has better stats.

Just seems they have given no thought to a wider variety.

There's no upgradeable raid anguish mage/priest ranged weapon either.
Very odd.. holes.. in itemization this expac
