You nerfed my legendary weapon!

[Florinda]

Also, in order to support our new item scale high-level legendary items have had a very small reduction in power.

Benevolence before:
127-236 damage
2.75 speed
65.82 dps
51 AC
12 vit
36 wis
19 hp
19 energy
lvl 38

Benevolence now:
109-202 damage
2.80 speed
55.36 dps
44 AC
10 vit
31 wis
12 hp
12 energy
lvl 38

It's a downgrade in EVERY respect and NOT a small one.

I'm pissed.

I understand they have a formula that gives points based on stats, and each stat and the magnitude eats the points an item has, but could someone explain it further here and address how that has changed in this patch please ?

Also, my Newbie 40 slot container they gave me as a crafter back in Tanvu when I was learning the trade, it has too much EE for me at level 7, 29%, It's the beginner bag....

If there is a new patch out, I'm not getting any notes for it...

They're right there in the announcements forum.

Here.

Relevant bit:

- Item Power Rescale - Items have undergone some power rescaling. This was to address problems related to item usefulness -- these adjustments will make all higher-level items (post level 20) in Vanguard more viable for use.

When comparing the “goodness” of items of different rarity the disparity between the rarity levels became much too large at higher levels. This problem had many far-reaching repercussions. As a resolution, we have increased the amount of points (“goodness”) on common, uncommon and rare items significantly. This power increase scales up from level 20 where there is no change to level 50 where there is the largest change. Commons will get the largest increase, followed by uncommons and then rares. Heroics will not receive an increase. Also, in order to support our new item scale high-level legendary items have had a very small reduction in power.

This change has had a devastating effect on crafting tools. My tools have been nerfed 78%. (This is not an exaggeration.)

This is what scares me and give me hope. I mean if the NEWBIE gear is so far out of whack it has GOT to be a coding error... right *hopeful look smiley*... I mean.... right? *begging hopeful eyes smiley*

I honestly think someone made a code typo.... and that is the hope I'm holding out. these changes are DRASTIC

Does anyone have numbers on other items that have been affected by this change?
