US 101's stats are starting to change..

"Many people don't have the reserves to get ilvl 900 gear"

Let's look at that for a sec, because it brings up something I'm curious about.
Everyone getting these ilvl 900 BOE's are in end-game mythics I would have to assume, your not getting that off a mob as you level right?

Our educated assumption has been that the Character that loots the item needs to have equipped (at the time of looting) up to +15 iLvL in order for the Bonus Roll system to proc that high. So for a 900 (or 905 if that's what it is now in 7.2.5) the Character would need 900-915 (905-920) iLvL Equipped. This is ofc pure speculation.

I'm asking because I wonder about the feasibility of fanning mythic at character level 120 or 115 to finish off twinks. I wonder if they would keep the same algorithm in place.
 
I wonder if mastery is getting nerfed because of how fast demon hunters can get. Don't know if Blizzard wanted them to move that quick. Or maybe some kind of change for 110s to balanace a raid or something. Who knows. Just taking guesses

Either way seems like a minor setback if this is all we are getting nerfed. I'll probably lose 15% mastery. No skin off my nose.
Not like they are gimping Mulligan to only like 500 of a stat or something of that degree. Can we agree what makes twinks great is yes our stats, but also our cooldowns
 
I have checked the PTR with my DH since I happen to be one of those DH who values mastery above alot of the stats next to leech. I havent seen a change in my speed. The only thing I have noticed on live is the mastery increase in damage only when the last patch hit. We didnt get the same increase in movement speed, so I think Blizzard is fully aware what we're up to. However I did experiance disconnect issues when I hit fel rush and managed to get 900% movement speed. Maybe glitch or the WoW Speed force is telling me no.
 
I'm fairly confident this change is ONLY for Shamans and in regards to them being capable of capping (100%) Mastery too easily. Blizz even stated that by reducing how much they gain from Mastery will help them being over prioritized, but then they're increasing the damage done by Abilities utilizing Mastery so it's a wash.

There's no way to know for certain until it happens. That's the risk we take Twinking (and spending a fortune doing so) because it could be GF'd later, something might come along that's stupid easy to get and makes all that GF'd Gear useless (Legion Invasion Gear), etc.
 
Meh. At this point I'm almost certain a stat squish will ruin 101s in the next Xpac. 110s or 111s/112s whatever.....will be the next thing most likely only you'll have GFd artifact weapons that are actually completed and way more powerful; plus a few legendaries

Yeah, that's what's so frustrating about this process, I think of my twinks like a sportscar I finish and put in a garage for when I have time to play. (hugely busy irl)
So enjoy it while the expansion lasts. I never get to. :-/
