this is one of those moments i wish i would have saved the parser details.

yes we, that were geared, did more dmg. we, that were geared, had a crit rate so close to the ungeared alt, one thm was actually under.

yes the geared mages did better, the difference is laughable. Its a joke that the thms with all this great gear and gil invested and time invested in their mages can just marginally out preform an ungeared alt with a lvl 1 main hand.
