i like gathering bc socketed gear on all my alts and gemming them up with wotlk gems. its fun going into a bg at level 70 with almost 20k hp.



You're going to max out at about 15 sockets (rough estimation) in all your gear if you focused on Socketed gear. So if you fitted WOTLK Stam gems in all of them, the most you're gonna gain is 15 x 15 stam (difference between BC epic Stam and WOTLK Epic Stam - ignoring JC gems)... only 2,250 HP... hardly a noticable difference versus anyone else is it??

Northrend green quest gear is better than what you would find in BC heroics.

This just seems dumb to me. But thanks, it answers my ?



WoW has always significantly stat inflated gear with each xpac. There would little incentive to go play the new xpac if one did not get a bigger, shinier carrot for their efforts



Yep, Blizzard is always goob in feeding the nerds with new an better stuff

Actually, the reason for it is so everyone's capable of doing the content in the new expansion pack. If the new content was balanced around characters with the top end raid gear it would be brutal for ungeared characters. If the content was balanced around toons in greens it would be trivial for geared toons. By making large jumps in gear they can get everyone on equal footing gearwise.



This makes complete sense.

To me, though, I hate that it was necessary to trivialize each preceeding xpac whenever they released a new one. I guess it's the way of MMOs.

I'd like to see a re-vamping of what used to be "end game" content in vanilla (Silithus needs love). I'd like to have a reason other than nostalgia to visit zones like that.

You are in luck! Cataclysm is focusing on regurgitating old content so all you need is patience for them to get to the dungeons/raids that you want revamped.

And like anything regurgitated, it is much easier to chew up this time around although the taste leaves something to be desired . .

i think 2250 hp is indeed signifcant in that level range. but thats not the main appeal. by using a socketed item with stamina gems in the first place it can have significantly more stamina (but probably less overall stats) than a level 70 wotlk item even if you were using bc gems.



Ahh... I see, I hadn't looked at it from that angle. If you laoded Stam opposed to gearing 'correctly' you would be up 5k almost on others, which is going to be 30%+ higher in a lot of cases.
