The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[Winter]

As nothing has changed and it been 1 month+ and we have been through 2 updates or so 

• Dark/Heavy Steel Greaves Usable by Xbow 
  
• Dark/Steel Gauntlets Usable by Xbow/Halb/Ranger
  
• Swadian Boots usable by Halb (maybe Ranger come to think of it)
  
• Swadian Gauntlets usable by Ranger
  
• Imperial Armor 78 armor 
  

 
So is some/all of this happening at a later date or did this get forgotten?

I'll just go through each of these again because I don't feel like searching for old discussions.

Dark/Heavy Steel Greaves for xbow - Nahhhhh
Dark/Steel Gauntlets - I'd really rather not, to be honest.
Swadian Boots - Sure for both of them.  There will need to be another discussion before this, though.
Swadian Gauntlets - Sure.
Imperial Armor - Eventually.  I think I may need to convince some people first.

For the first two - those should really be Commando items and not be shared with all of the armor hero classes, in my opinion.  I am personally of the opinion that the gauntlet progression line has become too cramped to begin with and could use an overhaul, especially in regards to so many classes all using the same gauntlets as the best.  Since gauntlets and boots often come in a set and I'd rather not split sets, this problem is also shown in boots even though they do have sufficient breathing room.  I like the idea of the Swadian set actually being the best shared items before classes have to have their own goodies since it is Swadian and stuff.

It wasn't forgotten, I am just retired.
