Is the random ability of a diadem piece to have nearly double the sub stat budget of a raid piece intentional? Or is this just a funny glitch in how stats are generated that will be addressed?
Absurd Diadem Stats Intentional?

Unfortunately, it seems intentional.

Does it have anything to do with this?
Apparently those crazy Diadem BRD/MCH pants are fake -

I hadn't seen that piece, fake or otherwise. But I have seen people wearing pieces with high values on four substats.

I was pretty chuffed with my boots, even if the sneaky tank tried to need on them by changing to healer when the loot updated. -_-
Vitality +59
Mind +62
Piety +33
Critical Hit Rate +17
Determination +19
Spell Speed +14
Obviously I'd have preferred Spell Speed to have been added to Crit instead but for my first i210 drop I was pleased. -

Why do people bother to go and make fakes like that picture? Does this person want to believe he's got the best gear than anyone else within his own little lie? Just sad if you ask me.
I'm still yet to see any caster 210 drops for me. It's been bard tank healer and monk gear over the past 2 days... -
11-13-2015, 03:39 AMGarotte14Actually got a pair of 210 caster pants on the first day in there. They only had crit on them but it was still an upgrade over the i200 eso pants. It will do until these damn A3 pants drop.Quote:

It's not so much intentional as it is possible by design. The intent was not to give specific pieces with specific advantages over raid gear, the intent was to provide content that allows players to farm gear with the possibility of being very fortunate and getting a stellar piece of gear. Of course with the Internet, one person could find a stellar piece of gear, post about it and suddenly everyone assumes that gear such as that drops all the time, when in fact most of the gear is useless.
From what people have said, and how things were explained in patch notes etc, you have pieces of gear for random classes that can have a random selection of primary and secondary stats each of which can have a random + number between1 and whatever the max is. Given those pretty broad ranges, the chances of you getting the specific piece of gear you want are pretty low, and lower still of getting that piece with exactly the right stats and good numbers.
On the flip side, the ilvl alone might make it worthwhile for some players, and if not they can always trade it in.
