Legion BoE that were endgame ilevel were what level? Legendaries?
100?
Or.... 101?
Did 100 "skip" anything when it got integrated into 101-109? Or is it just that much crappier due to... 101 BoE?
If not for the recent changes on way to the PTR, 100 would be unquestionably the WORST level in the bracket. Now it's just another level, but still is weaker than any slot that utilizes legion endgame 101 BoE, and CANNOT utilize legendaries.
How are you "speculating" differently for 110 again? Nothing, NOTHING even hints at the nonsense you're offering.
110 is the end of legion. Free to all that subscribe... 111 is the beginning of BfA, where enchants and gems reflect that. The scaling is just as "different" -as you've both agreed already- for legion 101 to 109. 109 benefitted far less than 101.
119 loses stats as you use the SAME RATING when leveled in battlegrounds. Like any other. This is stupidly simple stuff.
For someone who is so vehemently against spreading "baseless information" you may want to examine yourself (and tone down the condescending attitude).
Let's start with your comment about legion BoE that were endgame ilvl. 840s were much more powerful at the beginning of Legion than at the end so this end game ilvl comment makes no sense. Even after the stat squish and M Antorus gear was 240 base you would only rarely find a legion 101 that proc'd 200+. Most were still 164 iirc. Legendaries were squished to 265. Most 101 boes are still 160-180. How is that end game?
Also, they could drop for lower levels so it was not just 101s using them. 98-100's regularly farmed and used these. Heck, even some 89s figured out how to get them to drop so they could use them. To recap, not "end game ilvl" since end game ilvl was M Antorus. Maybe when EN was the current raid tier could you consider these on par but that lasted for what, a few months?
100 did skip something when it got integrated into the 100-109 bracket, the ability for the legion boes to proc WF/TF, hence allowing them to increase their base/secondary stats to 101 heights. You seem to not grasp that legion started (technically) at level 98 which means it dipped lower into a previous expansion. You claim BfA starts at 111 but you could not be more wrong. You get your Heart of Azeroth at 110, not 111. You start your war quests at 110. You can get your azerite pieces at 110, not 111. All of those things work fine at 110, except gems and enchants. They still work, but have really odd scaling. That's my whole point, the scaling for enchants from 110 to 111 is toned down very strangely. If Blizz wanted BfA to start at 111 as you claim then they would not allow 110s to use the enhancements. But they can use it, and they do work, at a reduced rate. This was not the case in Legion, there is a difference, get it?
110 may be the end of legion, and free to all who subscribe but they cannot currently get highly overpowered stuff like the Heart of Azeroth or the 285/300 azerite pieces unless they buy BfA. Those items make a 110 much, much more powerful than a 110 in legion only gear.
One thing you really need to understand is that the 101-109 bracket is not the same now as it was in Legoin. I'm not going to argue with you about how a 111 with the same gear as a 119 scales because I have both, I understand how things work
now. What is peculiar is how there is a difference between the stats 111s get vs 110s that was not present with 100 to 101 in Legion. A 100 who equipped gems/enchants from Legion content got a similar value to a 101. It's not that hard to understand that there is speculation as to how such things may affect 110s in the next expac. Will it be a mirror of previous expacs? I'd wager so, but the fact you cannot (or will not) see the break in the pattern just tells me you're refusing to digest it.
