[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 5404676, member: 5890"] I think that the rarity system CAN be used to fix "this low-level daily is too good once you get to the point where the entire party can buy one for pocket change". However I think that the current broad categorization is awful. Noone will carry around a low-level flaming weapon in order to use it's daily, because the daily requires a hit with the weapon in question. Making it uncommon is silly. People taking a frost weapon over all contenders? That's purely because of two ridiculous feats that have never been fixed. Isolated from those feats, frost weapons are interesting and good, but not the crazy good they are now. Don't expect the rarity change to fix them. People WILL use multiple flutes of the dancing satyr, because the daily is good no matter what level you are. So making the flute uncommon is a decent fix. In fact this is pretty much the ONLY situation where an item should be bumped to uncommon - one of the item is interesting at any level, it's power cannot be reduced for lower level items, the power remains viable at high levels and it's abuseable in large quantities. Nobody will want a holy avenger ever (ok, slight exaggeration, but only slight), so making it rare is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
