That begs the question: If you have all of that equipment, do you still need the 'Call to Arms' weapon? Any character with the absolutely perfect equipment that you described will clear hell Act V without thought. I could equip any type of character with perfect equipment and show how uber overpowered that type of character and those item combinations would be. A person using realistic equipment, however, will find that the 'Call to Arms' weapon, made of medium rare runes, will give them a useful boost but will find that their war cries will need to be refreshed frequently (and by the way, I doubt that battle cry will be used very often, since its radius is so small. Even Grizabella only used it on special occasions). In addition, we'll no longer have the situation where sorceresses and necromancers will be running around with higher level Battle Orders than barbarians. You may whine and complain that there shouldn't be any cross-class skills at all, but I think we should be glad that Blizzard significantly reduced the levels of the war cries on 'Call to Arms.'
