Couple of item change suggestions I'd like feeback on

[taishar]

Hey all, I wanted to get people's opinions before I posted this to the S&R forum, just in case I'm way off base and need to be smacked down.

I recently purchased a Gem of Shielding Crystals.  Nice range item, I'm enjoying my 5th (woot!) clicky item, heh.  However, its weight seems unreasonably high.  It weighs 1.2.  Now, I know this isn't a huge deal for most characters, but as a monk, that's a sizable chunk of my treasure/coin carrying ability.  I know this would be a ridiuclously low priority issue, but was just curious if it'd be worth suggesting to be looked at since I can't understand why a gem should weigh that much.

For how good the range item is I used it on my monk for quite some time. The weight's not that bad for the ac and stats and MR.

As for the sashes...yeah. They kinda suck for the effort to get them. :-/

Have you ever picked up a Geode? The weight all depends on the size of the gem. Gems are reasonably dense, so you wouldn't have to have an unreasonably large gem to weight 1.2 lbs. But ignoring the physical argument, I'm sure the item designers balance off the weight versus stats.
