Diadem idea for 3.2.

Yeah those pictures are turning out to be photoshopped...

Anyways, having a good chunk of offstats is not +20ilvls powerful.

Umm.... pentamelded accessories would like to have a word with you. Also, Kiramu bard gear too.

Melding can boost effective ilvls quite a bit. Melded gear was 10 effective ilvls higher without even blinking an eye. I wonder how much 50+ extra stat points (something I have seem myself) will boost ilvl.

And they're going away.

I guess there is no pentamelded gear which is better than raidgear, beside two exceptions: ACC for healers and dual-mainstat-gear for tanks (patched out in 3.2 I think).

Kirimu gear is from 2.x. And 2.x had much higher stat-weights (highest in 3.x is 0,22 for BRD CRIT and average is about 0,15.. in 2.x every class had two offstats around 0,2-0,3... BRD even had 0,32 on DET and 0,34 on CRIT ). But that's over, off-stats are much weaker now.

Let's say the best off-stat is weighted with 0,2*mainstat. Then 50+ points equals about 10 points main stat (e.g. 50 CRIT equals 7,35 INT for SMN or 11 DEX for BRD).

You get +7 mainstat from 190 to 200 and +8 mainstat from 200 to 210.
So you can assume that yo'll get +9+10=19 mainstat from 210 to 230, which is equal to about 95 points off-Stat (with 0,2 weight).

But don't Forget that even if the ilvl 230 item has less different offstats, they'll have off-stats higher than the actual ilvl210 off-stat caps.

An INT 120, CRIT 120 + DET or SS ~80 would beat any item with INT 101, CRIT ~90, DET ~90 and SS ~90. All stat weights calculated with enormous 0,2(!!!), so the ilvl210 wouldn't come as close as that in reality.
