Heirloom legs

willix said:
I've discussed this elsewhere. The real issue isn't that 'BoAs are too good,' it's that Blizzard has not taken the initiative to update all non BoA gear rewards prior to level 60. So when the average player comes across a blue or green item from a dungeon or a quest (especially caster weapons or ranged weapons), most of the time it's complete garbage in comparison to BoAs.

BoA gear is made top-down by taking a piece of gear itemized for the level cap, and scaling those stats down through the levels. So when you're looking at those items, they have all the stats a character would want for that class/spec. Non BoA items traditionally don't have all those stats. They mostly have 1-2 stats and low values for them (at this point, anyway).

So the solution from my perspective would be to update all those items. This involves those of us who have Beta access to leave feedback on the forums suggesting as much. Now, the important thing to notice, is that the BoA legs have ridiculous stats on them right now.

Example:

Tattered Dreadmist Leggings - Item - World of Warcraft

Cloth legs with 30 stam, 20 int, 13 crit, and 13 haste rating @ 19? Can you think of anything else remotely close? Yeah, they still need to do a pass over all these low level items and make sure the stats are roughly equivalent.

We need to keep reminding them until it happens.

That's one way to fix it, yes.

Your stats are off on the 19 version of those legs though. They have 6 int, 10 stam, 4 crit, 4 haste at 19.

My stats are taken directly from the MoP version of wowhead, as in what's currently live on Beta right now.

Tattered Dreadmist Leggings - Item - World of Warcraft

Click the link and scale it back to level 19. If no one says anything, this will likely go live. Thus, the importance of bringing this up as often as possible until Blizzard acknowledges these issues and fixes them.

No, the stupid level scale on wowhead is just broken. Happened last expansion, too.

Broken.... only for the BoA legs?

Right.

Edit: Only some of the BoAs are affected like this. The point still stands, bring it up now, or watch it go live.

I've seen screenshots of this item at 19...actually I have it open on the other browser tab right now. It's exactly what I said before. Wowhead is wrong.

Aren't the legs identical in stats to the helmets or something like that?
 
Blizzard is really working hard to make everything BoA dependent...
 
Why exactly do we need more BoA gear? I think the game would be so much better had it never even existed.

wtb talbar mantle again.
