Suggestion: Patch 2.xx : Revolution of the Hand

[Shurrikhan]

I'd love to be able to do a bit of combat as my DoL as well. Maybe have certain monsters drop unique items when killed by a DoL?

I've been itching to take my axe to a treant, and coblyns look like you might get some interesting items after a pickaxe or two to the face.

Allow players to gather, at cost of GP or whatnot, even when in combat classes? Incap a coblyn, mine living ore of its backside before it can move again?
...but, we got rid of Incaps...

Or even... what if gathering classes involved skills and both they and combat classes involved knowledge enough for one's time spent mining or harvesting in an area to actually give you a good idea as to the weaknesses of local monsters? o.O
