this reminds me of my last run with WoW, where i made an envenom rogue - it had just green gear - people laughed at my shitty greens, and wanted to exclude me from certain dungeons...then i proceeded to out-dps the other full epic-gruul rogue with mongoose enchantments (i had green quest reward stuff) because envenom ignored physical def, while his physical skills, didn't; envenom damage was based on skill rank - wep dam/dex was irrelevant, so i could have been naked, and out-dps him anyway.
