shoulder realization.

[whitekush]

so i just realized that, once naxx is removed (not even grandfathered) people will run to BoAs...



oh god.

 

[Healcake]

Have you been living under a rock the last couple of days? They will ALSO nerf the shoulder enchants for BOA shoulders IF the changes will be the same as they are now on the PTR..



oh god.

 

[Rayekk]

Heh- yeah- you beat me to it. The BoA shoulders will still be sought-after for the 19's and 29's, as for the most part their stats are unmatched, but as Healcake said, they will be less of a OP item without the Inscription of the Glad. on them....



In some cases, the BoE shoulders (in the 29's at least) will still be better for certain builds (Watchman Paltrons anyone?)

 

[Ramune]

yeah BoAs have been and will continue to be the best option for 19s. no big news here.

If you do not have access to the BoA shoulders, I suggest looking at the updated shoulders:



Cloth:

Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders: 5stam

Reinforced Woolen Shoulders: 4stam, 5spell power



Leather:

Hillman's Shoulders: 4agi, 5 stam

Barbaric Shoulders: 5agi, 8stam



Mail:

Rough Bronze Shoulders: 3str, 4stam

Silvered Bronze Shoulders: 3str, 3stam, 3crit rating

Barbaric Iron Shoulders: 6str, 6 hit rating

Golden Scale Shoulders: 7str, 6stam

were the level req dropped down to <20 for some of those items?

 

[Ramune]

yeah all that is new to me. i was used to my only options being Serpent's shoulders, Talabr mantle, or BoAs. could someone clarify?

 

[Helmût]

scryer enchants anyone?

 

[Rip]

scryer enchants anyone?

The crafted shoulders have been given a big make over on the PTR but the only ones that apply to the 19 bracket are the cloth shoulders:



Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders: 5stam

Reinforced Woolen Shoulders: 4stam, 5spell power



and the mail:



Rough Bronze Shoulders: 3str, 4stam



full list off all the changes can be found here

Im not talking about BoAs, and they still give stats on the ptr.
