OP, you're making it sound far more broken than it actually is.
I wear a fungi on my new druid, and my weapon is also nice (
http://wiki.project1999.com/Skyfury_Scimitar) and I have 22% haste. everything else is just ac/hp/mp/wis items whatever.
so this is FAR from being only with a fungi with a Rusty Scimitar and nothing else as you mentionned. I have like one of the best droppable weapon on a druid, and haste, which makes no sense.
Well guess what, I still do barely 26 dmg every 2sec. with that scimitar+haste. I still have 0 mana regen. So at level 24 I can kill blues "forever" sure. But it takes a looong time. And they hit for 50. Fungi regens for 15 (+1 base)... do the math. Add a second mob, maybe a caster in range? maybe a fucking healer (remember i slash for 26)? mana is perma-depleted cause you have no downtime. if you sit for 6 mins to med up and you try to keep up on dps while auto-attacking you're back to oom after like 10 fights.
You're saying 1-45 is just hit AA and go back to bed x4500 and thank you very much with a fungi and a rusty scimitar, but this is not at all what it is ^^; +15hp/tick makes downtime pretty inexistant, that's the crazy bonkers part. But actually in-fight? it stops being completely flawlessly broken quite fast, and you're back to good old EQ with the slow grind, the med time, etc

fungi is gamebreaking, but it's not suddenly WoW, this is fallacious.
PS: of course druid might be the worst exemple, but you're the one who said "anyone who can wear it"
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] on a monk yeah sure, it's auto-attack festival for at least level 1-35. still can't take four white cons at a time.
