Dragonflight Stat Squish

Im never not amazed at how messy blizzard likes to make things


All these changes and shit could have been spent on making the endgame/dragonflight better
 
I would argue that the original statsquish/lvl squish was the true messy part of the current state of thinking. Nice to see this change I def prefer the lower numbers. Hopefully the game play stays quick but we def needed to see some toning down lol
 
I wonder if everything below a certain ilvl / required level gets the stat squish, or if it only affects all pre-SL content.

And then if perhaps we can still reach similar stats as today by using the (potentially) accessible SL gear because every other expac has trash stats. A lot of maybes but curious to see how this plays out
 
How do tertiary stats scale? Did they get hit with nerf bat also?

not sure about the stat % of them (so like i have no clue if its still the same tert needed to get to 10% in speed for example) but i think tert stats also have been nerfed

sadly SL isn't on the beta yet to test, I'm a bit worried tbh blizzard breaks promises a lot and I have a feeling we won't be seeing SL until the last 2 weeks or so
 
happy about this change because bracket will likely be less bursty this way.
 
Yeah that’s like a 60% nerf to tert rating as well. Will have to check on overall %s for speed/leech but I can’t see gaining the same overall % that we did before, as we almost certainly ate now being graded on a new rating scale

btw keep reporting starter edition xpoff merge lol. It’s the opposite direction of what they decided on for classic. Can’t be right.

also report balefire/destiny. While 30 mainstat doesn’t seem like a lot now, it will still hurt

Why Destiny? There is no bug related to it.
I get why I should be careful flexing a socketed Balefire ( :ez: ) But imagine being reported for just having a normal item???

afaik destiny str buff really doesn’t scale depending on level. A level 40 version would have more of less the same proc effect that a level 17 version has for instance.

It should scale, same goes for balefire I believe
 
Given the stats squish, TBC gears may be better than before as the gems aren't squished AND that tert on BOE is also nerfed. Sell your i28/i37 before DF...
 
walder has 6 speed on live, that translates into 5% speed at 20 but only 3% in images above.

this means it is now a lot harder to hit the softcap for speed.

assuming the gearset is using is the same. @Skindeck can you confirm any speed/ leech %s please

edit. I guess this is the same deal that 10s have with terts and scaling as well. I guess for 10s you can’t really nerf 1 rating any further so terts might be stronger there for them.
