Dragonflight Stat Squish

[Sil]

Having looked (on wowhead) at a dozen or so random items from dungeons, and stuff found on twinkdb, all of them looked to be significantly squished and match the screenshots OP posted

Seems to affect a lot of (perhaps all??) things up to and including BFA dungeon and raid gear. Compare these legs from Live https://www.wowhead.com/item=159386/anchor-chain-girdle?bonus=6516 to beta https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=159386/anchor-chain-girdle?bonus=6516 . iLvl stays the same but much less stats. The SL dungeon gear I looked at had no squishing or real changes comparing live to the beta.

The ring we all know and love, compare the amount of stats Live https://www.wowhead.com/item=159458/seal-of-the-regal-loa?bonus=6516&ilvl=25 to the Beta https://www.wowhead.com/beta/item=159458/seal-of-the-regal-loa?bonus=6516&ilvl=25

Do you have any similar ilvl gear (44,28,25) that you can compare to on another non 20 toon?

I wonder if this is less of an item level stats change and another attempt at level based scaling? (Hope not)

another sad change for sure. But things will be moving quick now that betas out.

Y’all better hope for ilv 54 artis. It might be the only way to get any main stat if squish is for real.

while I don't have any similar ilvl gear I did copy over my old 110 for the sole intent of seeing if the stats affected gear at that level too. and.. well, this looks more like the stats an ilvl 25 weapon should have not ilvl 50 xD

What abot BoE items with procs? Does the proc got hit with the rescalling as well? Does some1 that has destiny and beta can shed some light in this matter?

Well at least it’s across the board and not just for a certain grouping of items.

now I am curious about level 10s. And old old lv 9 (old19s) Only so much you can squish that gear.

also slightly concerned with the increased mob hp here with the reduced offensive stats on gear. If pve is all 20s have left this might be bad. I couldn’t imagine being an actual starter edition without slots filled or non optimized gear. Every mob is going to feel like a classic era elite, assuming mob offensive stats remained the same.

Are you able to check the none HoA version of Azerite gear (If it's still ilvl 58/59)?

I can see the stat squish stats myself on wowhead

 

[chelly]

I’ll be testing all these fun pieces myself on beta once I get back.

EDIT: feel free to reply/ PM with testing requests as well. Going all in on df prep for 20s

HoA remains lvl 40capped. Stats are somewhat reduced, not sure how much, since mine is ilvl 90 and has been sitting in bank since SL-launch

 

[kompe]

ye destiny got nerfed quite abit

 

[Chops]

I'm a fan! Low level toons should feel low level. Once the beta patch hits the ptr, it'll be easier to check on that weird artifact tooltip cuz I can just load up 4 clients and run an arena. Cant imagine they're actually gonna let us have ilvl 54 weapons with 1500 health pool toons but ya never know!

 

[chelly]

Free my HOA!

edit: also now is the time to submit those bug reports for balefire/destiny

 

[Chops]

fwiw on these highly reduced health pools, ele force is hitting for 40 and lifesteal for 32

Anyone know what pit fighter trinket and arena grand master ilv29 are scaled to now?

i saw a pala earlier and his i59 helm was still i59, it also had squished stats though. its still significantly stronger than what we have at 20s but will probably be less impactful

So... we're seeing a what, 60%+ stat diminishment; & mobs are getting a 30% buff to health?
Are they trying to bore us to death?

Dont worry, we still stupidly overpower content.
