Items that have both int and wis. WTF?

Being able to single pull humanoid mobs when they are in clear line of sight of a couple of friends.

Some of these make sense (Golden Efreeti Boots for example) because it means they don't have to make an item for boots of the same quality for priest classes. However, some items (like Gnoll Hide Tome?) make no sense at all since only Int classes can use them, but they provide both stats.

WTF moments:

Vermiculated Armor
Vah Shir instead of Kerrans
end.

Did you ever stop to think that the way from High Pass to Freeport is flat, yet the way from High Pass to Qeynos is not (you go down that long gorge)

WTF is up with the ocean?

Two different levels in two different places.

I always figured that the Karanas were in a valley, possibly below sea level.
There is also a very gradual incline in Kithicor. (not enough to account for the change in elevation of course). But yes, you are correct, the continents are not exactly "anatomically correct". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I remember correctly, there's a waterfall near the druid camp at the end of the East Karana river, which certainly supports the theory of the Karanas being quite a bit lower than other areas.

A large waterfall is visible from the Barbarian fishing village at the SE end of EK.

I think it would be pretty lame and bland if every item had stats exactly lined up to classes that can use an item. It gives variety and makes it so there's not always one clear best item set for a slot.

When I have Levitate on and my max FPS set at 100, I hardly sink at all when running. If I run from HK zone line to WC zone line in Kith without looking down, I'm well above the trees by the time I hit the zone wall by WC. It certainly is a gradual increase, but the overall increase is still pretty large.
