1. I would like to see a few points of regen put on shivering items. It makes sense.

2. In terms of the DEX-overpowered issue, there is one easy fix. Make STR and/or INT an attractive and useful stat for archers. Bears use DEX because it ups their hit and crit, so just give other stats useful applications for archers. Then, pure DEX won't destroy every other combination an archer could have.
