the stats on items on LIVE have pretty much stopped making any sense to me somewhere past DoN... Any item you look at is covered in 3 digit numbers like a 70s mainframe printout.

May as well just put a sticker on it with words - "UBER. No stats analyzes required" and be done with it

Yah i played well into seeds content.. and being an original live player (june1999) the stats are obscene.
I remember joking to the guild on the eve of pop expansion that the way stats were going, items would have 500 hp on them one day..

As an FYI the cloak went up for sale on Firona Vie server bazaar (no trade disabled server)
for 3.5 million pp. o.O

It scales pretty well though. ~1k hp/mana items for raid gear at 85 from SoD is pretty equivalent to ~200 hp/mana raid gear at 70 when you also factor in the raid mobs that now hit for almost 20k dmg, trash that hits 1k-2k (and thats WEAK solo trash mind you) and the AAs/spells/discs that are now obtainable. It's just game growth, rapid growth but growth all the same.

I cant think of a single trash mob that hits for less then 4k. Really what are you smoking that hits for 1k cause if i get bored enough to go back to test I want to go kick it in the face.

Yea item progression on live went out the window years ago.
