The XR torch Shining With Sick Light is a terrible XR. The main reason why it is a terrible XR is because of the skills it has, Appraise and Intimidate.
The reason to not have Appraise skill on an XR torch is because Appraise is a not combat skill, and therefore is useless. It is very easy to cap Appraise in a not combat situation with a verity of set gear and augments, XR gear should not have it.
The reason to not have Intimidate skill on an XR torch is because Intimidate skill has no value to any class besides control barbarians who utilize the feat Terrifying Rage. I can imagine no instance where a melee barbarian would utilize a torch.
It may also be worth mentioning that torches are very situational. There are a very limited set of builds that would utilize a torch, if there is no extra incentive to use a torch it will never ever be used.
