NotifyInspect unit. The final modification takes into account item quality. The end result is a calculated value for item level. The numbers for StatMod are given in arbitrary units. Most probably Blizzard uses a different base, but it should not matter, as all that is important is the ratio between the stats, not the absolute value. Due to the nature of the formula, an item of the same level can have more of a stat with a low stat mod, than with a high one. These stat mods were obtained by evaluating several thousands of items.

Some values esp. Items that have nothing else except for 1 or 2 of these less common stats sometimes wont fit in at exactly the ilvl you would expect because getting 1 more of that stat would push it far too high. Some of these weightings seem to be different on different item types. This is certainly the case for weapons, but also for rings and necks. For example, rings can get higher resist values than their ilvl would imply, so they have a slightly lower StatMod for resists.

There are a few scattered stats that are this way, but overall they make a relatively small impact. Some item types have better or more stats than items that go in different slots. Helms for for example will always give better benefits than bracers of the same item level. A high number in this table means that the item will have worse stats than an item for a slot with a lower number and the same ilvl.

Neither casters nor feral druids benefit from weapon DPS. You are commenting using your Facebook account. Notify me of new comments via email. Notify me of new posts via email.
