The Epics are not Epic!

Game changing? Is just a dot. A slow 15 dps dot. It's not really that Amazing. Monk, Rogue. You still do damage without an epic. The Epic doesn't double the damage you do, but even that wouldn't be that good. I mean it depends on your previous weapon setup, but at most you're getting maybe 10 - 20% more dps depending on Mob level and AC. Not that great really. Warriors can still generate pretty decent aggro without the Epic. Lots of then do, because it's so hard to get. They do just fine without it though. Small increase in damage does not equal game changing to me.

Rogue epic takes 5 minutes to get and is like 5 items worth of stats in one item. A level 60 rogue putting in equal time to their character as the time it takes to get the epic, but not getting the epic, will be able to farm plat for.... an fbss and an exquisite spear. Too lazy to do the math but probably a raid with 5 epic rogues replaces a raid with 7 of those rogues...at least.... So in that scenario it's like 2 extra rogues for free....
