[BUG] Profession Stats MISSING After Pre-Patch Stat Squish

Community General Discussion

Since the Midnight pre-patch went live last Tuesday (including the stat squish), I’ve noticed some pretty strange inconsistencies with profession equipment and profession-related stats that don’t seem intentional.

A few examples:

  • Phial of Truesight now only provides +1 Perception

  • Nibbling Minnow provides 45 Perception, which feels wildly out of line by comparison

  • Weavercloth Fishing Cap currently has no profession stats at all, making it effectively useless

  • Artisan Fishing Cap appears to be missing Perception entirely

These items all existed to support profession gameplay, but post-squish their values feel inconsistent or outright broken. It doesn’t seem like these changes scale logically with the new stat values, especially when consumables outperform profession equipment by such a large margin.

This definitely feels like a bug, or at the very least something that needs another balance pass or adjustment. Hoping this can be looked into, as professions already rely heavily on these bonuses to feel worthwhile.

Thanks.

Also wierd that the epic TWW enchanting rod now has a lower ilvl (and stat budget) than the blue one. At max qualities the epic is now 109ilvl with +83 stat while the blue is 132ilvl with +110 stat.

Almost as if a cycle of massive spikes and squishes in stats is a bad idea…
