5.4 and enchant scaling

Givecake

Legend
  • Smiled while reading the profession buffs to stats, came to the end and read this.

    All permanent item enhancements provided by Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring, and various vendors and quests are now able to be applied to items of any level. The effects of these enchantments will be scaled down to the level of the player using the item.

    If professions for a 80 is gonna be wotlk levels i'm gonna be PISSED. It was 80 req before the (possible) future change ^, so here's to praying it stays like that.

    Here's a list of enchantments and other crap I took straight from a few of my own characters.

    If there's anything you guys are curious about I'll do my best to find out for you.

    Enchants/Gems get scaled up or down depending on what character their transferred to and from. 160 Agility gem made on a level 90 becomes a 16 agility gem on an 80 for example, yet still can't be used due to ilvl restriction...

    Looks like all tooltips scale for said items, so you can link back and forth to different level characters to find out stats.

    Have there been any changes to level restrictions on therazane enchants, or even the MoP ones? Pity the RPPM enchants were hit so hard, and I'm somewhat disappointed by the leatherworking ones (70s get more than that on live, which is just dumb).

    I'm assuming standard wotlk epic gems aren't affected at 80? What about 85, could it mean we don't need the cata epic gems at all anymore, just an epic gem with the correct stats? (same could be said for 70 gems actually)

    Same question about 70 metas, especially stuff like the insightful mana proc metas (and haste ones).

    Therazane enchants still require level 85 to apply to an item and are soulbound when you purchase them.
    Agility enchant on BoA scales down to 20 Agi + 10 Mastery from 50 Agi + 25 Mastery on a level 80.
    Using Therazane enchants on BoE's still make the item soulbound.

    Wrath gems at 80 aren't affected it seems, apart from the double secondaries. 85 Epic gems look like they'll be BiS for 85's, due to no epic quality gems at level 90 yet. And as for using 85 epic gems in 80 gear, no point because they get scaled down to Wrath epic gem level.

    I'm not so sure about this as I don't have a 70 on the PTR, but I'm assuming the metas will work the same as MoP down to Cata and Cata down to Wrath, in which the stats are reduced to the meta levels of that expansion.
     
    In 85 bracet when 5.4 hits live (and notes do not get changes much) cata gems and enchants is better than mop. Exp bracers enchants, MoP one's gives 45str in ptr, but cata 50str is still 50str.

    Yeah, looks like the best enchants and gems will be for the equivalent expansion for that twinking level, 80 - Wrath, 85 - Cata and 90 - MoP.

    The fun will be finding any exceptions to the rule.

    I actually found this out using atlasloot after I posted, but I was hoping that they'd be slightly better than the MoP ones. How wrong I was. As it stands for pure dps the MoP one still isn't quite as good as the Hodir enchant at 80.
    Wrath gems at 80 aren't affected it seems, apart from the double secondaries. 85 Epic gems look like they'll be BiS for 85's, due to no epic quality gems at level 90 yet. And as for using 85 epic gems in 80 gear, no point because they get scaled down to Wrath epic gem level.
    I actually meant the other way around :3 But they shouldn't scale up, that's been said already.

    Aye, seems that way. It's having some weird effects on the available enchants though, my 70 has lots of some stats and less of others. Seems like secondaries are the way to go though.

    How about mixology? :3

    Like I said in my original... Mess? :D
    Flask bonus from Alchemy at 85 only gives 80 Primary Stat
    Flask of Spring Blossoms = 1080 Agility instead of the normal 1000.

    So although I don't have an alchemist at level 80 anymore I'd assume the bonus no matter what flask you use will be 32 of that stat. Duration is still doubled at 85 at least. Don't see why it wouldn't at level 80.

    Liar :D
     
    If this goes ahead along with the massive vengeance nerf, would this make a big chunk of level 80 soloing impossible due to DPS checks? For paladins at least, I don't know about DK's or other classes.
     
    I'd just like to add into for, that for now most of the enchant tooltip are wrong, the only things that have actually changed so far that i've seen is Synapse giving 192 primary stat and lifeblood giving 288 haste at 600. (Blizzard love wrong tooltips)

    PTR is PTR. I'm not even getting benefit from gems on there.
