What level for max stat drops?

What level do you need to be for max stat drops? For example, would there be any difference in max stats between a level 80 and level 100 character?

About the only requirement is World Tier 4 and ilvl of the item dropped, character level or equipment level required does not matter. That being said the ilvl is capped at 925 (dropped) and 950 (upgraded). This will affect the Damage/Armor/Resistances on the appropriate gear only, this Will Not affect the Affix power/range.

Affixes have a range so for example when an item drops that has +Main Stat, if the ilvl is 725 it would have the same affix range as an ilvl 925 item. Meaning if the range for +Main Stat on an item is 10-25 at ilvl 725, it will still be 10-25 on an ilvl 925 item. Ilvl 725 is the cap for Affix ranges, keep that in mind.

You can never guarantee an item will have max affix roles. That being said Duriel will always drop ilvl 925 gear, and any Uber Uniques (not normal uniques) will drop with max roles but that is the only exception to this rule.

This part needs a lot more visibility, based on the amount of posts Iā€™ve seen suggesting that any gear which isnā€™t 925 is ā€˜uselessā€™ (usually in relation to world bosses).

If it had worked the way they intended this season, the higher the NMD you do. The higher the minimum ilvl on items that drop. However, they failed to do it right and it seems to not work this way at all.

Higher item level on weapon = Higher DPS (Most Important)
Higher item level on gears = Higher Armor (Least Important)
Higher item level on jewelery = Higher Resistance (Important if aiming for maximum resistance across all attributes)

Since ilvl 900+ can be easily found from World Bosses and Uber Bosses. Might as well only look at those items alone. We donā€™t have the luxury of time to inspect each individual piece of loot.

From my understanding Lvl 102 mobs can drop the ā€œhighestā€ IP gear. (Not sure if its 100 or 102). I THOUGHT when they made the change this would scale all the way to T100 lvl mobs but this is not the case. You still get the same IP level drop rate from a T50 vs a T100, still makes 0 sense to me.

Yeah it seems on gear no one really cares about IP. Just max % rolls. getting to max armor with disobedience is a non factor.
