What changed that made savage so desirable in 3.0, when you couldn't pay your average player to attempt savage during the 2.x series? Why has savage become the new standard, when it was ignored before?
Gear, pure and simple. Savage Coil gave no upgrade whatsoever over the gear one could get in Normal SCoB, whereas the gear in Savage Alex is a 20 iLvl boost (210 vs. 190).
