I have a problems with expresing god with enlish as im italian :) but i see
that you have seen some wrong points in my post i wished not to talk about
twinking but i used twinking to show that items have havy influence on
combat abilitys of mele classes, and much lesser impact on casting class.
So this was only whan example of what impact have high lv items.
This influence creates superflue some caster clases in group as mele and
wisdom based casters with more aviably powerfull items get much stronger
then similar lv casters wich in conseguance of this are not so necesary in
groups.
If a fighter start to hit for 160 dmg in turn against my 170 spell i think
he will go alone with cleric and will not need caster to finish a runner!
You as a caster will get in group only if you have some friends or are not
in for exp, wich many people will say is not important BUT...
Already noe is a problem to group with any group wich have more then 3 lv
over you as they will probably fight something what hit resistance barier
!! i wish to note that you can group with 6 8 lv diference and still get
exp but you as alwas resisted to things for them white will not be much useful.
