Hah, yep, sure. Now let's see:

Resist any boon: 1 slot (its actually worse than certain ring for example)
And don't give me this 'it's resist ANY yhy' crap.
+Str,+Dex,+Con,+stats whatsoever : make stats work, make them make a
difference and I do agree to _certain_ point, at the moment, not at all.
The way they are now:
Str = a bit def factor (maybe a tiny bit of +dmg)
Dex = avoid, and a fucking little of it
Con = few hps - and YES a _few_ hps.
Wis/Int = +spmax and +damage (in some guilds).
Spell/Skillmax - try to select your race wisely, use ss, or fail a bit more.
Meta ? well, take a race, trade a certain eqs, use spider demon or again,
horrifyingly, don't be as quick a spellcaster (which is not much slower).

One more thing: People donate and get benefits, that is the way it is, the way
it should be, the way it hopefully will stay.
The most important thing is that the boons are NOT too powerful.
Make stats make a difference and we'll talk again.
I certainly might want boons to be even better, but for the game balance, for
the fact that things work nicely as they are, I don't.
I am getting tired of this stupid discussion, and won't continue it,
at least not the way it's going on now.

I just can\'t stop answering these...:)

What item gives you more than 10% resist everything? Or more than 10%
resist anything? (not talking about uniques, I think at least two uniques
Quote:
10% exist, but gettable)

Yes, str kinda blows atm. Helps on some skills tho that you forgot to
mention, and some people actually use str items too...
Quote:

Avoid hits, quite much of it and affects MANY skills, including dodge and
parry. But yes, a secondary stat at the moment still.
Quote:

_few_ ? +52con is around 130-170hp depending on race. That\'s not a few
for a backrower, and it\'s actually quite much in front row too,
especially for hybrids.

+damage in all damagecaster guilds, +healpower in healer guilds, +prot
length in protter guilds.

Yes, don\'t be as quick is the answer.

Agreed.

For casters stats make a huge difference, with just a few boons you get
that +76wis/int on a caster... why do you use int/wis items if they
don\'t affect? Everyone has int/wis swaps - why if they don\'t affect?
