Until I played my Priest to 60, I ignored the caster itemization issue. Once I started getting my ass kicked by epic'd out physical damage classes yet I was still able to hang with epic'd spell damage classes I really noticed it. The damage increase a Warrior gets froma Spinal Reaper upgrading off an Arcanite Reaper is absolutely ridiculous compared to say, a Mage upgrading to Azuresong Mageblade off a Rod of the Ogre Magi. The best balance between the classes occurs somewhere in the low 50s. Physical classes can start getting nice weapons while casters still have new ranks of spells. Once you hit 60, it's all over for us squishies.
