Players should be able to equip gear to get to a given item level and be able to complete that content without having to micromanage all of their individual stats. Item Level More Accurate – We’ve had the measure of Item Level for a long time, but due to some different setups it wasn’t a solid measure of where a given character was and how they’d perform in various content.Įasier to Gear Up – It can be a challenge for a lot of players to get the correct mix of stats with their different gearing options. It wasn’t easy to know what your percentages were. And players will no longer have to make gear changes when scaled to maximize their stats.Įasier to Understand – The live setup of our ratings leaves a lot of players asking others what numbers they should be aiming for in different content. These changes will allow that to happen both when scaling down and up. Improved Scaling – Scaling should be seamless and smooth so that players don’t need to focus on it. We will cover a lot of the details here and there will be posts in the preview forums for specific topics. There is a good amount of information to cover. We are working on some upcoming combat changes which are available for early looks on the preview server right now.
