Isn't it depressing that you're ~50,000 fg set up or w/e only works in catas - in which 50 fg gear is often used and accepted xD
W/o solo potential :<
Actually, all said and done, I have 64,500 in just the mq gear. I also have many of the best in game or runners up for climbing. Yet, I solo my mage, so I do have solo potential, just with different gear

Yes it is depressing going into a game where their is 50fg gear being used....by most the people. That's why I solo, it's just as fast as being in those game and I think the drops are better soloing. You are right and so is everyone else when you say it's not necessary to have such high heals with a good group of players. However it is very nice to have that good group and all of them wear robes because monk++ and still be able to go 55-71 without stopping(although ambush can still cause a ng). So yes unnecessary because I usually have 1/2 to 3/4 mana left at each level and more if there is a warm light. However I want to point out that the flip side of this is true. Having 200%+ weapons and 60+stat items is also unnessary, I've seen plenty of groups with the 50 fg items(or less sometimes) make it to 71 and mq their characters. However, lot's of us would like more damage or better heals so we try to upgrade to make ourselves more usefull in the teams we join. So, not wanting to be the weak link, I've upgraded so I can be more usefull to my team and help make it that much easier. I don't mind the 50 fg people, we all have to start somewhere, I just prefer soloing vs 4 of the 50fg guys and me in a game. Hope that all makes sense to you and clarifies why I've assembled this gear
