the main problem for me on my gargoyle is obtaining the needed HCI & DCI on dexers.
Humans & elves have:
Headpieces (Too many to even list!)
Gloves (Faction Stormgrip)
Neck (Gladiators Collar)
Leggings (Fey legs, Leggings of bane)
Chest (Heart of the Lion)
Woodland armor
Quiver
My gargoyle has:
Ring
Bracelet
Sword
Shield (I Can't play a parry/bush gargoyle in pvp since I NEED a shield to get my DCI/HCI (Out of oneof the junky artifact shields...) unless I want a junk weapon)
Talisman
Robe (Mr2/DCI)
(Add those to the top list also)
Not to mention they can't wear crimson (10 less HP, 10 less dex, 2 less hp regen). They can't wear the Lt. Sash (Not that big of an issue... but annoying). The throwing weapons were made so that they didn't have more than one useful special.
They barely benefit from factions at all (Unless you're a mage gargoyle. Other than that you get points, which mean nothing). If they get dismounted it means death (They can't stack DCI, they CAN'T remount their mounts... (What mounts?!)) unless they have ninjitsu.
