And lastly, here's another thought. What if you happen to make it all the way to turn 9? It's probably because the current BiS gear you're wearing could have been more then capable of carrying you that far! Now you have the stratification of knowing that you're capable of doing all the new turns without trouble! When in turn, that would make you very grateful that you got that gear in the first place!
They want new coil to be like going into old coil... pretty safe to say new crafting gear is gona be ilvl90 and if thats ture old bis will be worth less then that in absolute min/maxing. Secondly if you only starting bis now its irrelevant because even with the new loot rules you you prob have enough to get new gear with new tomb stones so just get ilvl 90 whatever you can and be prepared to replace all in a few weeks.
