Feels like a high level crafter ought to be able to drill a hole in something.

Repair Lore and other repair related stats. Those stats are severely underrepresentated

Really? I seem to have had your share of them then! Far too many and little use to me.

Unfortunate. Those rapiers were it for a long time.

i agree with the shield clickie that lasts longer than 5 minutes. i always farm a couple 'protective gloves' from korthos, especially on a HC server. i try to keep 2 or 3 shield wands on hand. even in epics, +4 AC doesn't hurt.
and when, exactly, did Vorpal almost completely disappear from RNG loot? I don't play DDO that much, but for a month or two each HC season, and sometimes I get on a kick and average about 2 or 3 hours a day for 4 months straight. but in the last couple years and maybe 500 to 1000 hours of gameplay, I have not found a single vorpal RNG weapon from a quest or as an end reward option. I have plenty in my stash from past lives going back to the mid 2000's, but in the last 3 years or so, I don't even see abysmal weapons (think kama or returning throwing axe) with vorpal. I need to check my gear mules, but I'm pretty sure I have RNG vorpal/keen BIS weapons (longbow for ranger, hxbow for inquis, falchion for 2HF, etc...) put a festival bonus and attune them and a ML7 weapon like that can run you into low epic content.

The last one I found was 3 years ago.
Chance to shield bash.
Sugestion. Legendary bonus to health sun/moon augment based on what shield you are using
i´d realy like to see an augment and/or more items with the stat outside shields since it is such a huge stat for shield users that wish do a bit of damage.
it realy limits what shields you can use.
If you are a swashbuckler or vanguard you want both impact and shield bash on the shield and it limits you to just a few items endgame.
maybe just one or maybe two large shield options now.
during leveling you can cannith craft on gloves unless you intend to use the sharn family set.
shields are in a bit of a pickle. even more so now when the legendary bonus to health was added to shields in myth drannor.
it might be better in the future to add a legendary moon/sun augment for health that is based on if you are using a buckler/small/large/tower shield.
Fighters might want to use towershields, paladins maybe aswell but it costs a feat and that hurts.
the argument for this is that it opens up what shields you can fit in and the amount of different shields that is possible to use.
it is easier to swap shield for a particular fight aswell so you might go hunt a shield just for that.

"Retributive" effects would be great to bring back.

Would they?"Retributive" effects would be great to bring back.
Anything that's meaningful in R1 would (further) trivialize Normal. Anything meaningful in R10 would trivialize R1.

If they scaled on things such Melee/Ranged/Spell Power or Character/Item Level and is reduced the same way other damage is in reaper, perhaps they could be somewhat balanced.
I wouldn't call scaling proc effects such as Sounding powerful at any difficulty and items like Battlerager's Harness just make me sad. To-hit retributive damage could help tanks keep aggro while blocking defensively (assuming a Retributive Effect means those which happen on getting hit).
