EU+US Legion - 79 Twink high item level gear

[docturphil]

So with the Legion patch out, it is my understanding that higher item level gear will increase your stat template. Is there a limit to how much higher your stats can go? If not, then it seems to me that 79 twinks will be VERY OP. If comparing Heirloom item level is any indication as to what the standard item level is for that bracket, then you can get a HUGE ilvl boost at level 79.

Item level for Heirlooms at 79 is 183. You can get gear ranging from item level 283 to 308 in every slot. That's a 100+ difference per item. So are 79 twinks just going to be outrageously overpowered? Or is there a maximum stat advantage that you can have over the standard?

i dont think the stad Advantage is that broken.
but missing them cuz they are 76+ is rly annoying.

Has someone actually tried this though? I mean how much greater would your template be if you had over 100 item levels over the standard?

1% per 10 ilvls.

i'm more concerned about 79s having access to mastery while 70s do not.

 

[Dorado]

I considered this but I think the best you'd get is a 10-12% stat bonus. Certainly better than any other bracket but it still won't be life changing. More like a cherry on top if you happen to enjoy the bracket already.

1 item level = 0.1% stats so 10% increase

I was thinking about the mastery gain as a 79

Consider getting weapons with slower speeds. It will increase your damage.

yes i know but havent tried if weapon speed gives more dmg then higher ilvl. looking at BoA axe or http://www.wowhead.com/item=43601/brunnhildar-great-axe as a replacer if that is the case

I wonder... is 308 the highest item level you can get? Or can you get item level 325 from Scorched Satchel of Helpful Goods?

If you can, you should be able to get around a 311.75 average item level which would put you at a 12.875% stat increase.

For that matter, if you were grouped with a higher level player, could you get item level 390 from a Tranquil Satchel of Helpful Goods?

If that's the case, you should be able to hit about 333 average item level which will put you at 15%.

Interesting idea. Lvl79s might be able to get the 325 ilvl, yes. I am leveling a Mage, and might check on this when I come by the level range.

Do enchants effect your average item level?
