Currently I’ve noticed that a lot of loot I get, even loot that can be about 36 ilvls above a piece I have in a slot, barely has a dps impact. It’s just counter intuitive to what blizzard said they were going to do with loot, they meant for it to be meaningful. Yet in many instances pieces that I got that were an Ilvl upgrade, simply were not better than pieces that were lower Ilvl that I already had. Which really sucks given how rare loot is right now. With the only pieces that repalce things just simply have a high Ilvl which gives a lot of int, not really the greatest feeling seeing as it can impact your stats.
I just wish they would actually stick to what they were going to do, instead of changing the script on a whim. So that loot is loot and Ilvl upgrades would and would indeed be an impactful upgrade. Which would be fine with the current system progression, yet because they can have a minimal to no impact at all, it just feels bad right now.
