The interesting thing that Blizzard has decided to leave out of the 111-119 bracket was Epic BOEs. This would be the first time that Blizzard has not left the option for easy ilvl / stat boosting by means of Epic BOE.
Every geared 111-119 will be doing so by means of in game activity, in order to obtain BOP items.
Blizzard buffed “Twinking” within the 111-119 bracket for active players to have the best possible options. The removal of any BOE boosted Epics has guaranteed that only active characters will reach higher levels of power.
The best characters within the 111-119 bracket have obtained gear from the exact same places you could and should be doing. Activity!
Would obtainable Epic BOE items for the 111-119 help the gear disparity? or make it worse?
Food for thought.
