GC comments on itemization

[Isetnefret]

Yeah, of the Tiger was good stuff. To some extent I really appreciated the of the Beast which I think was a BC thing.

I do think Ghostcrawler is being disingenuous when he says the problem is the class, not itemization. That's garbage. The spec works the way it works. Blizzard knew how it worked when they designed the gear. If they put gear in aimed at some idealized version of the spec that didn't exist, rather than gear that works with the spec being played, then that IS INDEED poor itemization! Suggesting nerfs that might make the gear correctly itemized is just backwards design and really makes it seem like he's bending over backwards not to admit a mistake.

The problem is that leather is so well itemized it becomes BiS for ALL melee DPS classes. That just isnt right in my opinion. Plate pieces need to start coming with larger amounts of strength, or give us some stam--> AP talents to take advantage of the 120 stam on some plate DPS peices..
