http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=a7&message.id=4225#M4225 We are looking into making armor types made by tradeskillers better suit different adventuring classes. So there will be more melee vs. caster armor/weapons things like that. It will mirror the t6 jewelry very closely in that caster gear will be stat'ed to more int/wis/sta and melee gear will be more towards str/agi/sta. I mentioned this at the community summit which is where you have heard the rumors from.
