I thought there'd be more magic items in patch 8. Things specifically tailored to the bard, perhaps. There's the hat, of course, but that's the only one I know about.
It makes me wonder if they held back on the magic items because of the poor reception they got from the earlier patch items. I suspect there aren't many people using some of these items, and that their data shows as much.
Most of the items were bugged though, especially ones obtained in the Underdark and Grymforge.
The new lighting items are pretty good on Rogues though or Rangers, as they can stack those lighting charges like crazy. Rogues especially ^^
