Items that grant powers are fundamentally weaker than the older style proc items #965

I was looking through some Unseelie stats for Lilithelle and I feel like before suggesting changes to that zone, it might be more important to address the way power-items work. As they are now, if you remove your power item, you lose the charge. Very often you need to remove a weapon or swap a cloak out for fly, so the powers on them are mostly a novelty. If they recharged while worn, and held that charge in bag, they would be so much more usable. Silvanus' items like mask of the water lion and tentacle rings that give you a notification when they're charged, or even can be tracked with identify are the best, for what it's worth.

I'm confused, don't powers items have a recharge timer that's local to your character, not the item itself? taking a powers item off shouldn't reset that timer from what i remember... unless shev changed something about the implementation of recharge timers on powers...
