AR & Cost - Full Forti vs Full GM Valo Plate, maybe look into it!

Honestly I don't think that's a good idea. Axers already dominate mages, and other dexxers are on par, and for mages it would just prolong the fight (maybe even to the point where both mages just run out of mana and need to withdraw).

It might be a nice idea for PvM, however the Defense tali already pretty much makes you invulnerable in PvM.

I do wish gems had more of a purpose in the game. I remember they used to charge comm crystals, but we don't have those. Mostly because of tech advancement in real life (IM's, skype, ect-ect) but I still kinda wish we had them.

You can use gems to make luxery treasure chests with a scrolled carpenter. If I'm correct they cost 200 diamonds, 200 sapphires and 200 rubies on top of a lot of iron/wood, worth about 250k in materials. As for the other gems, there is no use at all.

The quantity depends on which chest you craft (even the one with the scroll and bottle graphics requires gems, lol) but yes that is about the one use for gems on the server and at least there's that.

And yes the trend has been towards increasing spell damage so that fights may come to a conclusion sooner rather than later, what with the endless running that everyone complains about (yet oddly enough does themselves when they find themselves getting buttrammed) so adding resistance would be contrary to that.

Factions have some little PvP trinkets, maybe gems and some other resources could be use to make focus gems or something to give a temporary -insert arbitrary number in % form here- boost to spell damage? Maybe for PvM only? Well, I guess we already have the mage talisman for that.

Has to be something interesting they could be used for. Within reason.
