CH Neck, FD ring, ranger cloak, necro epic cloak, magician epic crown. Then the gear with all the stats. I can't see myself wanting to do sky each week after raiding velious is the problem.

This. Add to it the 41% Haste belts for Tanks, Monks and Rogues(sort of). Each class also gets about 1 really solid stat item that is difficult to replace in Velious. Druids get the shoulders for example that are tough to replace.
The problem becomes the sky rotation I think. I'm guessing a large chunk of the guilds on the current rotation will cease raiding Sky for the beginning of Velious. Some may stop raiding sky entirely. Some may return at a reduced capacity of once a month or less.
However Sky isn't friendly to that sort of reduced raiding amount. You would have to rekey your corpses 2-3 times before you raid it again, and trying to do it without preexisting keys limits you to 24 characters or just lots of corpse summoning.
I'll be intrigued to see what each guild elects to do regarding Sky.
In my Daldaen-approved-Utopian view, the sky rotation will cease to exist but guilds will have a dialogue of their intentions with sky. This would allow a more classic raiding experience. So Taken may suggest, "Hey we are looking to raid Sky from Tuesday-Thursday during PMs", and other guilds would respect that and not raid sky during those 3 days that month. We would be able to camp up there and keep our keys for 2 days while we farm. Then not come back for another month or two and do it again. It saves port stones up and down and the need to key corpse, which is basically how all guild's did sky back in the day.
