Wouldnt it be safe to say that by the time the lock got to 80 (from 70) and then got his full T9 or what ever that the shaman that your taking out would be doing more damage if you just invested that time to that character? (sorry not sure if that even makes sense im in so much pain right now its not even funny... Kidney Stones)
