EU+US HUGE gear changes in 7.3!

[Rob]

Were you looking at this ring on somone level 110? As on WoWhead the rings versatility value shows as much lower when you scale it to a 60s level.

The ring is equipped on my level 60, it gave me about ~120% vers

Yeah that won't last long. Would still be nice if blizz nerfed it to something that gives around 20-30%

Can someone check an item like Searing Blade (low level blue 2h). Atm has 2.5 speed.

Darkwater Talwar as well please (1h sword BFD drop).

Edit: what about heirlooms like BAR?

all weapons have the same speed now
searing blade 3,6
darkwater talwar 2,6

 

[Rob]

looks like all weapons have the same speed now

daggers 1,8
1h mace\sword\axe 2,6
2h 3,6
ranged 3,0

Well... Wtf is the point of this?

To further stop ANY FoTM and/or benefits anyone gets in iPvP over another Player, that would be my guess.

Good, this change was long overdue even if it happens in this ham fisted way

fast weapons of every class and caliber were redundant anyways ever since day 1 of vanilla and only gimped you there was not really any customization tbh.

Only exceptions being the offhand for rogue to apply psns and weapon procs into mainhand or vanilla warr tank

Seeing spinal reaper 172 top end so far not seeing anything much above that well non naxx gear.

dark edge 174

 

[Imnotabelf]

Well other than the weapon speed changes I'll admit it is nice to see old sets/items get some attention by being revamped with updated stats.

 

[Tom Ganks]

I just hope they dont normalize all the stats for twink gear. Would hate it if every item had the same freaking variation of stats like at endgame.

 

[Leek]

Love the stat change tbh, but do they really have to simplify it with stat budgets and weapon speed normalisation??

 

[Rob]

2 hours into PTR n chill and I just now noticed:

 

[Tom Ganks]

it does seems hat they are changing the stats for a lot of things at all levels... This might fuck up some sets of mine.

http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=56714/band-of-foul-strength

 

[Tom Ganks]

Incoming changes thread for all brackets. this is pretty big for gearing, not sure if its in a positive way

 

[Imnotabelf]

Band of Argas is now 4/4 strength/stamina

 

[inoobupro]

looks like gf'd stuff doesnt get changed. Most of the ungf'd stuff gets their stats slightly reduced(some gets buffed)

old garrosh's pardon is 5/5, old band of skullcrusher is 7 str stilll

you get the idea

 

[Tom Ganks]

Lots of new items like http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=151074/turnkeys-pauldrons

Mostly decent for f2p and transmog. But yeah a handful of twink gear has been normalized and worse off than they were. For example, compare http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=4676/skeletal-gauntlets and http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=6906/algae-fists where they used to be an equal 8/5

edit: I like how us lowbies just highjack higher level threads.

 

[Imnotabelf]

Come on plate helmets...

I'd be happy if Blizz finally ditched the whole Level/Armor Class requirement for XMog. Literally who TF cares if anyone has a Level 20 Warrior that wants to look like a Warlock from TBC. That is other than the Blizz anti-fun Police.
