Also, endgame Velious loot is too good. You could skip Luclin entirely and go from Velious to PoP without any problems regarding the content difficulty and stat progression. Half the VT drops aren't upgrades to their NToV equivalents. The leap from Kunark to Velious is enormous and NToV/AoW/misc. quest gear will last you until elemental planes if you want to. The Velious itemization designers kinda went nuts.

I mostly agree with this. Velious BiS items, particularly for melee, were not much behind the VT loots. But SoL provided more caster loot for several slots and ofcourse AAs were a major focus of character advancement.
