Make WoE more of a battle.

[Aaronock]

The point is still as a team or even solo you don't need BG gears, and there are plenty of great MVP cards that still work great in WoE, even if you don't default to them all the damn time.

BTW, HW can go for Staff of Destruction if he hasn't got BG staff and he'd be fine too using that in precast. One handed he'll probably be lugging Int Survivor's Rod or Staff of Piercing. Bet you that you can get all 3 of these wands unrefined for under 10 mil, which in newbie terms means farm hill winds or rach sanc for 3 days lol.

By the way, some of the BG staffs add additional damage to demi human types, closest way to explain this is that its like having a hydra for magic instead of phys. Glorious Staff of Destruction does do a 25% mdef pierce but that's not why you'd be using it anyway. =/

So yah, everything has a counter, but that doesn't mean BG gears are the be all and end all of the game. <_>
