And so it begins!!

Just ran an instance and a ring with stamina, spirit, intellect and 46 spellpower dropped. I rolled need seeing how it is a fantastic healing ring, however the warlock and mage roll need to because "they need spirit as much as the healers". The warlock ended up winning it.

I am seriously appalled by this decision that every ranged caster class needs relatively the same gear. It makes no sense and it is truly only implemented to dumb the game down for the masses.

-Edit: It was a fire mage and demonology warlock (neither where even close to hit capped and they were replacing +hit rings)

We view loot distribution at least in part as a social issue. You are always going to run into situations where someone wants to roll against you on an item that is of questionable value to them.

As far as two classes legitimately needing the same item, we view that as a good thing. It's a better place to be than when items always drop that nobody can use.
