Item Level too high

[Ryans]

Do you even understand what you're saying right now?

Yes I do. The higher your weapons physical damage, the more strength (for melee) will benefit you. I may have misunderstood what he meant by stat caps, coming from 1.0 where you could actually cap stats to the point they wouldn't benefit you, but that doesn't change the fact that item level is still just an arbitrary number.
