Anyone else praying that the new items have some really weird stats on them? I want their goal for the items to be expanding on underutilized playstyles. Bows with spell damage, Plate with +healing, +50 spirit items, Stuff like the Hammer of Ji’zhi. The items should enable different playstyles, rather than fitting into cookie cutter existing archetypes. Any thoughts?

I like weird stats. But I’m probably a minority. I was a warrior with a thorns set for suppression room. I just got to walk in and stuff would die attacking me

Wackier stats would be nice. I’m open to all kinds of crazy new things, like maybe giving high amounts of stamina in exchange for movement speed, or more items that decrease stamina and give more spirit.
What i’d really like to see is a Crossbow or wand with a crazy 10 second auto attack speed that does chunks of damage, but obviously needs to be standing still for an absurd amount of time to even get a shot off

I really enjoy items that debuff certain stats as well. And always love, love, love whenever I get a random enchanted shield of arcane / shadow wrath, knowing it’s completely pointless.

Just hoping our pre-BiS doesn’t include wearing a dress and holding a flower.
You will continue to court those bosses and like it! How else will we convince them to drop their epic pants!?
But seriously, I fully expect we’ll see new itemization based on the crafting recipes and preview of raid loot in BFD. They’ll have to keep updating loot tables if they convert other dungeons into raids, make things hit harder, and add new content, anyway. Specifically eyeing that Clamweave Tunic in BFD for a lock tank.

Well, I would look a bit at the rank 12 gloves. They all provide a bonus and when combined with 8/9-gloves t3 for some classes they can be really good. For example the lock t12 gives a bonus to searing pain, the hunter some increase on a key ability, and paladins get a boost to a debuff which increases holy damage they can now use.
