3.0 & Weapons / Armor.

[Ultimatecalibur]

Which is why I iterated making all secondary stats equal in effectiveness, example, say I want to go full on skillspeed as MNK, with present weights I would be underperforming compared to at least a balanced set of det crit SS. If they were all equal I would be performing equally, just the dynamics would change due to faster reuse timers not the performance.

That just causes things to slip into an "any piece no mater what secondaries it has will give the same benefit" mentality.

For a pure Skillspeed set to be preferable the content needs to place importance on number of attacks made so that more attacks equals better even if they deal less damage.

Can someone link me to where Yoshi stated there will be horizontal gear progression and that ilevel will not exceed ilvl 150?

[Doctor]

I recall Yoshi mentioning that ilvl should stop at around i150 or so at one point during a live letter. Frankly I wouldn't mind if they made ilvls be more like 2-5ilvl between sets and make it so that gear lasts for like 12 months with many different paths to get the various bits. Then make new ones after that.

Where is the Link?

He never said that.

[Doctor]

He never said that.

Oh, so I guess Ruskie is somehow mistaken, eh?

Perviously I read many "raider" explicitly requested coil weapon must be BiS, then what's the point for "horizontal"?
Are people asking to add a content for BiS armour, a content for BiS hand, a content for BiS legs...etc?
Otherwise, if Dev just nerf coil gear, especially the "weapon" then it will be more horizontal? ^^;

from what i recall they are scaling the ilvl of the higher level gear down to accommodate. i remember yoshi-p stating in a live letter several months ago, but things do change.

Purely my assumption content level 51-55 and up will have a minimum ilvl requirement of 100 to 110. Content 55-60 will require minimum ilvl of 110 to 120, and content 60+ will require a minimum ilvl of 120 to 130. This will make sure that current level 50 high end armor does not loose value. Armor drops and this is pure speculation from new content will start from ilvl100 at 51, and go to 130 and 59. Level 60 armor will start at 135 and if they give us horizontal progression go to 145. But have many different variations and options of being obtained.

I just operated under the assumption that current gear and iLVL 50-60 would just get their physical level tweaked.

Add more raids on par with Coil, there now you have horizontal progression and raid weapon is still BiS.
