so im leveling my alt engi, shes 17 now, and i just completed a quest above my level. below are the options provided for me as a dps engi.
 
 
 
do these look like reasonable options at all?? 
 
strikethrough and deflect rating....or support power and and base health lol. hmmm..

			Welcome to WS. I think my fav piece of gear to date are the epic heavy shoulders that drop in STL, with 95 moxie as the main stat. Well that and all the raid healing gear that has strikethru on it.  :)

			well the top shield is wonderful to keep for tanking in the first dungeon :PThough because everyone gets pretty much the same stuff from quests, it will be great for some classes, bad for the others. Engi mostly never get their stats and is the poorest class when it comes to gearing up at level 50 (everyone can get best in slot pre raid purple weapon in adventures, dungeons or as world drops, while the first purple engi weapon is in Genetic Archives), though medics felt similar-ish when I would be playing around on some low levels. Esper was okay with itemization I would say.

There aren't always choices for every class & role combination at the end of each quest. Which should be obvious, since most of the time you're choosing from 3-4 items.
 
I'm more worried about the items that no one would consider using - like heavy armor with focus recovery :wacko:.

			Well as DPS obv the second one is better... deflect can still come in handy just for levelling lol. The first one is obv for tanking, while the second one meh... you're trading Moxie for Finesse and Base Health for Deflect. I'd say it's an upgrade

			It gets better.

Most terrible itemization can be attributed to the RNG stat generator. This however, is a special kind of stupid.

yeah i am thankful i havent put in much effort towards getting attuned because i have heard a lot from raiders that its overly tedious to simply get the correct gear, due to rng and itemization combined lol

It is? my guild seems to not have any issues or complaints about itemization being tedious, most drops we've gotten for months now are decent except for a few miniboss ones sometimes. The itemization isn't great on some things still but overall most raid items have good stats.

			Does anyone else remember Shadowcraft and Nighstalker having Spirit on it?  Some of the CRB guys are expatriates from Blizzard - maybe they got that guy.

There aren't always choices for every spec of ever class when it comes to quest rewards.  I understand "WoW did it" so now everybody has to do it, but it took WoW like 2 expansions before that was even an option.
 
Personally, not every quest needs to award me a new piece of gear.  Anything I can't use is money to buy something else with.
 
As for raid itemization, it is a lot better now that crafting was nerfed, and the raid gear gets 5 high power slots (which result in higher rune values).  There's seldom any straight up junk gear in GA anymore.
