Shadowfang not BiS

[Srs]

Yep scaled up, with 3.5 attack power per dps, the new WoD standard. And SF best for non scaled confirmed.

Noice. Thanks.

Shadowfang will be a good option if BoA scaling gets fixed (they're scaling up double the number of levels).

Such a hard call on reporting that bug. It helps BiS f2ps a lot, but it makes gearing way less interesting

Didn't even notice :O Is that all BoA gear? Is regular gear doing it too?

Yeah, every BoA piece I've looked at does. Don't think I've checked cloaks yet, but I can't see them being any different. Regular gear seems to scale normally. I checked into it a bit since the BoA stats on a f2p seemed really close to what they were on a 39.

The biggest difference right now is that BoA scaling seems bugged. It looks like they're going up double the number of levels.

I started looking at hunter numbers (20/22/24/28) and these have been the stats on the BoA gun scaled up from each:

20: 9 agil, 16 crit, 41-77 damage
22: 9 agil, 15 crit, 39-74 damage
24: 8 agil, 15 crit, 37-70 damage
28: 7 agil, 13 crit, 32-61 damage

If you look at the slider on wowhead (Upgraded Dwarven Hand Cannon - Item - World of Warcraft), the stats are scaling from 20 => 38, 22 => 36, 24 => 34 and 28 => 30.

All the other BoAs are following the same pattern (chest on a 20 scales up to 12 agil/17 stam/12 crit).

If it was working correctly, there'd be much less of a case for lower levels. Right now it's a lot more debatable though.

That's really bizarre, i wonder what caused it. Thanks for the info~

My guess would be something along the line of:

1. BoA checks your level and scales itself to be level 29
2. BG checks your level and scales all of your gear up 9 levels

So the scaling operation gets performed twice because there are two different checks for BoAs.
