Please explain what’s wrong

This thread explains, in painstaking detail, all the sources that Combat Rating comes from…

[ INFO ] - Where does your Combat Rating come from?

He has 36313 Combat Rating… [image] That Combat Rating comes from a number of sources… Set items Set items ranks Legendary items Legendary items ranks Legendary gems Helliquary level Helliquary remains Warband Tableau Here’s the full breakdown of how that total is achieved… Set Item Base CR Rank CR Amulet 1802 192 Belt 1782 164 Gloves 1802 164 Boots 1802 150 Ring 1 1802 164 Ring 2 1802 164 Br…

It doesn’t matter whether I’m on Hell III or Inferno 1

It absolutely matters, as the max CR of items dropped in Inferno 1 far outstrips the max CR of Hell III items. As an example, here are two INF1 set items. The first is triple attribute / triple magic affix, the second is triple attribute / double magic affix…

Low-end INF1 set items, i.e. double attribute / single magic affix, would have around 1830 CR. So, the difference between those and a high-end set item is 1914-1830 = 84 CR. Eight slots of that sort of difference = 8 * 84 = 672 CR.
