You know as well as I do stats like that without viable alternatives would lead to a LOT of Paladins being shunned by people who enjoy stats more than the game.

Anyone who's actually played XI knew the devs there lost the plot when they made content centered around weapons that had these crazy stats and allowed players to make these ridiculous requirements.

Its too late for anything like this I think, simply posting what coulda been (or a similar itemization/customization alt) to basic stats on gear... but I am not disagreeing with you... I think you have a point.
