This is probably a tired topic by now, but...
What about the great rank 7 focus affects for toons? Mana con 7 for a cleric is not easy.
Yea tbh The cleric thaz pants, AND the LT water mini shoulders were MC7 items.
The alternatives are now UC Shield from Ganlak, Folerit, Redsun's Belt,
Melek Taus's back, and the Final vah banner for MC7 focuses afaik.
The only realistic ones for most people being the UC shield and Folerit's belt
which suffers a loss of 2 ft when compared to most on tier shields/belts.
IE for shields: Brimstone buckler(rip), 4.2 shield, yclist shield. FT 2 on each.
IE for belts: Soulspike(rip), Pofrost general's belt, ip ulaz's belt. FT2 on each.
So this will definitely make caping FT and maintaining mc7 hard in the future.
Heal 7 besides Vah shield? Not easy either.
Which hi7 were you refering to? Only hi7 I can think of in thaz would be druid arms,
and LT air mini ring.
Alternatives are Vah tmap shield(conflicts with mc7 from uc now too lol), Gharontosh gloves in ip,
Jaldjarimar, the HHE bp, and one of CW's bps, off the top of my head. Of those 2 are cleric usable.
I'm against thaz's removal as well. I don't think that the fact that there are
other targets up to kill justifies removing thaz; nor do I think that many problems
were caused by thaz's existence.
If it was hard to develop content around thaz's tier because thaz made it unnecessary
then.. well maybe that's the problem it wasn't necessary to make content on it's tier
anymore. The fact that there has been targets up even after thaz's removal on-tier shows that.
If thaz makes you not want to develop content, try developing for a tier that needs it,
IE t10+ where there's only a handful of zones.
