One of the biggest problems with the original TLE servers was the failure of itemisation. In Shattered Lands, most of the progression raiding was awful because virtually all loot was worse than level 15 gear. I'd just like to congratulate the developers on finally getting this right. The lower level progression items are just right. Even better - I've been working through the gear for the contested mobs and raid zones (Spirits of the Lost and for the Prismatic Timeline) and it looks like it's all been fixed up. You guys even fixed that healer only leather from Lord Nagalik that increased threat priority! Fantastic job, this server is going to be much more fun thanks to your hard work.
I remember disco'ing this on Deathtoll. It was a cloth piece with an awesome PVP proc and the only stats it had was... +7 strength. Amazing
Even though I'm playing on Fallen Gate right now myself, I'm still glad these changes are porting to Stormhold. Er, they are, right?
