I think his point isn’t that it doesn’t have value but just that it’s also not really critical for most classes to be effective.

For example, does a caster need +25 mana shoes for a few hundred pp? Not really. Do they need mana sleeves? Not really. All those non BIS items are nice to haves not critical to your ability to play the class.

Only class IMO that I would say needs to get all their slots filled with good gear before getting BIS would be cleric to make sure their healing mana pool is good. Warriors and Rogues want some good weapons, but other gear isn’t technically critical to them fulfilling their role...you could technically just go full bronze as a warrior and still be alright for instance.

Otherwise, any other class can probably do without it.
