Are you talking about existing gear or future drops? Also can you still get the trinkets and cloaks from the vendor in zuldazar?

Existing gear and future drops (Armor/Weapons) have been nerfed. Accessories from Assault Rares are untouched and all pre-existing and future accessories should be dropping at unscaled values

Matters very little if they completely nerf 10-14 into the ground. Scaling and legit gear stat values alone make 10-14 godly. Might never get out dps'd or healed by a 50+ in dungeons.
Don't understand why they care so much about twink gear. if you twink you cant sell power levels. If you twink you only pvp with other twinks. The only instance of our fun being bad for the community would be in world pvp where 10-14s can heal for 45k+ on 50s. All these nerfs to protect the casual gamer in dungeons so they can pew pew once or twice a boss fight?
So much time and effort going into patching gear that ultimately doesn't affect anyone besides random players in dungeons and world pvp. Which will get fixed. Rextroy just needs to take a 10-14 twink and have it heal in world pvp.
Scaling needs to be changed so a normal geared 10-14 doesn't overheal a 50. that's my take on all this. It's a waste of time and I overall dont understand why we have some xpacs that allow broken gear and others that dont.
Mists archaeology items
Legion boes
why did those items last the entire expac but we can't have broken items now?
I think blizzard has no idea what they plan on doing from xpac to xpac.
Really wish they would just blue post about broken gear and make a promise to balance broken item levels or post about how they are not going to fix it.
from item level 20 gear at 11 I will end up being nealy just as strong as I am now in 44+ gear but with speed on my gear. so I will end up clearing dungeons just as fast once i have a full socket/speed set.
How? well I pve and pve is already being walked all over. I don't see how losing half my 1 shot power is going to make anything fair. I'll go from 97% total dmg in a dungeon to 60+% thank god the lowbies (10-49) can hit a few times on the boss before I eat it. oh and trash lol like i said i'll have a speed set. they won't be about to keep up with my kiting.
TLDR: Much ado about nothing

Eh, the gear is clearly broken cuz it doesn't scale. But yea, I don't really care much if they nerf the gear, 10s will still be good. It is a GOOD thing they are nerfing this gear though, I plan to do some PVP at 20 and I would hate if this OP-ass gear was still in the bracket

yeah they slapped a lvl 30 requirement on my https://www.wowhead.com/item=119373/nightmare-chain-bracers, but i am still benefiting from the stats even when relogging. i shall never unequip these!

i agree really, to be honest i'm kinda surprised they didnt leave templates in place for all except max level. it would really simplify things for them for balancing.

I guarantee they'll nerf our 49 Artys. How I know they can do it with already equipped Relics? Because they did it to our already equipped TBC Heroic Gems.
