Raxton is pretty good list. I think at or around t11/12 almost every item should have some sort of bane damage on it. That would most allow for upgrades an not be stuck with item x of tier y is best because of the bane.

For reference, the only tier 13 item with bane on it right now is the helm from Sharn'ree which is primarily a tank item and can't even be worn by rogues, monks or beastlords. Then there are a total of 5 items from tier 12 with bane, two of which are Ancient Race but for some reason one is +9 and the other +11.
When you fomelo random characters in the tier 9-11 range, almost all of them have a significantly wider range of bane types than players who have progressed into the higher tiers. I'd say that's an obvious sign that the bane itemization is not sufficient as it stands.

I like that list also, but it could maybe use another clockwork/construct option and could use some dragonkin. As is, I can only think of the gongo range off the top of my head with dragon on it, and if you already have saitha range, nobody's gonna give you that one (unless you're dkp and make people that actually need the upgrade hate you, lol)

Custo ear has dragonkin on it and almost every melee character who has killed custo for any length of time wears one. It's not tank usable though so another option might not be a bad idea.

This is a great post and implementing these changes would go a long way towards fixing the current endgame. I would also recommend Eclipse, Monstrous Wing, & Strength of Twisted Nature as bane candidates

This post is over 2 months old. Since then, not only have none of the t13 items been given any bane at all, the previous items that used to have bane but then had it removed (Dhuro, 4.3 scales, etc) haven't even been updated in the new system.
Just because 90% of the players at the top tier quit is no reason to leave this unfinished. Someone with t10 gear should have a narrower/lower amount of bane compared to someone in t12/13 gear, and right now the opposite is the case. Raxton's list of suggestions is superb and reflects the fact that every other type of item modifier and focus in the game gets more prevalent as you move to higher tiers, and bane should be no different. Look at how many of the items in the tiers 9-11 range have bane, and then add more than that to tier 12 and 13 items.

I was in a pug a couple days ago and saw something pretty amazing.
Ceto is a tier 8ish paladin. He has as many bane damage items equipped as Bango, Lleoc and Kedrin (the three best geared characters for each of their classes on the entire server) combined. Of his 9 items, 7 different types are represented. Bango, Lleoc and Kedrin combined have 5 different body types.
The bane availability in the middle tiers should at the very least remain constant as you get higher, if not become even more common. Yet the reverse is true right now and it doesn't seem like anything is being done to address this.
