What is The Most Overpriced Piece of "Bad" Gear?

Seriously? You chose to obsess XP over all else and now you're unhappy that your efforts have produced little besides gobs of XP? Do you even logic?

Since you asked about logic: where do I obsess about experience in that post? Taminy's the one who brought up leveling, remember?

Projection is a hell of a drug.

You said you made a necro specifically because of gear independence, and that levelling was not a problem. This rather plainly implies a focus on gaining XP thru solo play, so while "obsess" is maybe a bit of hyperbole it is justified IMO given your post and its context. If you want to get better gear you need to put time in making & helping friends, and/or put in time waiting for and holding loot camps you can solo, and/or put in time skilling and farming for tradeskills, and/or put in time playing EC tunnel trader. Note that all of these involve putting in time with acquisition of pp & items as a reward (the making/helping friends has better benefits than just loot.)

You've been focussed on XP, it's silly to complain that pp & gear didn't just fall into your lap as a consequence.

Again: the person who brought up the arduous nature of leveling and how it is alleviated by plat and gear...wasn't me. I responded to it, noting that it isn't my concern.

In other words, I stated the opposite of your assertion: I haven't been focused on experience. (If I had been, I'd be 60 by now, rather than cruising at an unhurried 53.)

But by all means, repeat yourself as if it's true so your friend can post some new-yet-tired "oh snap" .gif to provide the moral support you apparently require. Not sure how it's relevant to this thread, but you're clearly going to do it anyway.

I don't even like Kaev, but a gif is necessary when you get dunked on like that. I would love to go back and quote your post but I don't have the time right now.

And you are too easily rustled, welcome to the internet

Wave of Healing remains the most over-priced pos on the server. You should pay someone to take that crap off your hands and carry it out to the dumpster. That stupid-assed cooldown ("ooooh, you can heal 200hp every third time the mob hits your group with a 300hp AE, awesome dood!") makes it useless as a heal, and nobody particularly needs to waste a spell gem on rarely useful agro spell in Velious content (people in your group have to be damaged for it to produce any agro.) If you want a long cooldown high agro spell Divine Favor casts far faster, is amazing agro, and you can hit the person who needs a few xtra HP even if they're not in group or not yet injured.
