My 2 cents:
I look at it like this, i think its a great addon to the game,
sure bulkers will still beat the **** out of non bulkers.
Always been like that, unless you cheat
yet I agree that the talismans are too strong,
Looking at it like this i got the 2 talismans from the quest,
being a 130 archer with super soc 129 +5 boots,
my talismans are not +ed, yet a lvl 120 archer faces me,
My equips, potency are all higher, the only difference is his talismans are +3.
and he hits me for 1300, Now in a way these 3 +'s on each talisman makes the difference between an archer hitting 60-80's or 1300.
I think TQ just made a math mistake but are too ignorant to fix their mistake,
and thus wont have to face all those angry bulkers that spend a lot of db's on the talismans already

But hell, thats my opinion
