Once again the rewards for priests are far superior to the rewards for mages. Priest given: \aITEM 1481473033 892069812rophetic Soulstone of the Ethereal\/a Mage given: \aITEM 2014362183 323241098:Energetic Soulstone of the Ethereal\/a The priest version for the loss of 7.2% spell weapon atk speed compared to the mage one they gain 17 spell weapon ma, 6.6 atk speed and a massive 74.5 ma. You get force given your charm on log in and so can't pick the better one. Would be nice if either the mage one got something to make it on par with the priest one or the ability to actually pick which one you get.
Unfortunately this is the case with every single mage and priest item from CoE. It's never even been kind of balanced, the mages ones get transmuted while everyone wear's the priest ones. It wasn't really noticed because initially the gear wasn't locked to classes. As things became locked to classes with Dreadcutter and the like it started to become vastly more apparent what happened. This is one of the problems when you start class restricting gear for no apparent reason.
