My dream Pally build was destroyed when Rune Charm Stone was altered with nothing in the Change Log or descriptions or anything. I had even asked if it was buyable via spend credits. That's really not cool. :/ I'm just lucky that I do my research.
It... wasn't changed, gives the same thing it gives on rms, I JUST checked this cause I wasn't aware we'd done anything.
Melee can indeed, use phreeoni, but with a paladin, their skills are lacking in versatility, weapon element doesn't go through shield chain or boomerang, and the only other option they have for elemental skills is via holy cross, and they can switch weapons, sure, but I somehow doubt many players ever care to have multiple single or double phreeoni weapons (since if you have a mildly decent amount of flee, one phreeoni and 0 dex doesn't mean crap).
Like Dandin said, magic users are glass cannons, they have their use in woe, just like paladins (if you notice in woe, paladins, who are one of the few classes who can do IC without dex, are set as devo whores, and not much else, since devo build trashes your ability to get many other skills beyond devo). But you put a wizard in woe, who has IC, and maxed int/vit, anyone not wearing gtb is gonna get trashed, AND that wizard will be able to survive things most other wizards can't, at least not without that other wizard sacrificing stats.
You're not really giving much of an argument, you're just saying you should get it because you have the items is what it sounds like.
