Since last patch 1.1.0c all new items drops seems to be very nerfed.
At level 59 item does -200 damage than a previous level 50 item. It’s since almost 10 levels I didn’t get anything better. It’s the same to all new items drops, they does far less damage than before. Not to mention that at level 59 some level 47 items drops sometimes as well.
Seems there’s some trouble in items powers…
Nah, the drops are still the same. You simply got lucky and found a high item power weapon at that level, which might be close to max for the current world tier.
WT3 can drop items up to 720 Item Power
WT4 can drop items up to 820 Item Power, with the shops selling sometimes above 820
There is no real level requirement going along with the possible Item Power you can obtain on an item, so in theory you could go to WT4 at lvl 58 and find a 800+ Item Power weapon with near perfect rolls for level 60 (minimum char level to equip ancestral) and you wont ever replace it until the end.
No, OP is correct. You look at two items of the same item level (and otherwise comparable) pre and post patch, and the post patch is substantially worse . I haven’t upgraded hardly any of my gear post patch in 8 levels because all the stuff I already had is still better.
It’s just another part of their overall nerf to player power and plan to draw out the game. Remember last week they specifically said they wanted leveling past 70 to be faster and were going to be adjusting xp rates in 1.1.1 for that?
Well, what did we get today? They talked about the PRE-NERF increases in XP (NM dung completion and one other - forget what it is) and mob density changes. So, basically, NO XP CHANGES. The 25% at +3 to 15% at +10 is still there.
Liars.
