I'm not sure I understand; the argument I was responding to asserted that the upgrades obtained via druids and other classes (for instance, rogues) spread across all slots were believed to be comperable, but that the rogues had an advantage due to having a significant portion of that advantage focused on their weapon. If we believe that this is true, then it is necessarily the case that whatever advantage is enjoyed by a rogue if they get a weapon drop is instead enjoyed by the druid if that weapon does not drop; the advantages must be equal is magnitude if the initial postulate that advantage across all gear slots is comperable.
