Other classes may lose just as much, but they were already able to fill their roles for the most part. There are however a number of 'glue' type items in both AVs that are quite desirable to have in the game, like songbows for instance. If you hypothesize MME as the single published source for items going forward you NEED those items in there.  Warlocks are only one obvious example where there are some specific item dependencies. Sure, powers could be designed to fix any given class, but that also assumes that the player has access to whatever source those are in, etc. Items are often a more reliable way to fix things, especially since the DM can hand them out regardless of player power picks. It is just added ways to get where you need to be.</blockquote>
