[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 4900513, member: 3424"] Well, the original argument was that dealing more damage may be popular, but that does not necessarily make it broken. In relation to some other points you raised, I also argued that a flat damage bonus may be static and boring, but that does not make it broken. Similarly, dealing more damage is beneficial to the character, but an item that allows a character to deal more damage is not necessarily broken either, especially when dealing more damage is only one of the potential benefits that the character might have. Dealing extra damage [I]could[/I] be broken - if the extra damage caused the character's damage output to be way out of line for a PC of his class and level. However, I don't think that +2 to damage at the upper Heroic tier, +4 to damage at the upper Paragon tier and +6 to damage at the upper Epic tier qualifies. You may not like boring static bonuses, but that doesn't make the [I]iron armbands of power[/I] an objectively terrible item. [/QUOTE]
