Is there any specific reason why the following magic suffixes are lvl 94 while all other magic affixes are lvl 90 with rares being lvl 92?
of fortitude
of potency
of protection
of vitality
of prowess
of psyche
of readiness
of the boar
of the eagle
of the fox
of the wolf
of vitality
of mending
This makes distinguishing lvl 94 MIs from lvl 84 MIs unnecessarily convoluted in the main campaign as both lvl 84 as well as lvl 94 items can drop at level 100 with level 92/90/94 affixes. Usually a level 84 base can be easily spotted by its level req being level 90 or 92.
The above mentioned affixes are consistent with other affixes at levels up to 80, so lvl 94 being the only outlier makes me think this was an oversight and not intended.
curious about that tho? since i found out MIs could be adjusted separate from epic/legend etc other tables, it just confused me more that green MIs still allowed 84, specially when it’s far from uniform across bosses even in base game.
So what potential benefit would there be/got removed when ex s5 just disabled the 84s?
If you allow mobs to still drop 84 gear in main campaign, people are further incentivized to farm either in dungeons (due to higher area level) or in Crucible/SR, where the chests drop the loot, which follow a different drop logic, guaranteeing lvl 94 drops.
One could argue that this additional incentive is not necessarily needed, but I can at least see the logic behind it. I can’t see any behind the above mentioned magic affixes being level 94 when all others are lvl 90.
Some other similar thing caught my attention some time ago:
This here medal requires lvl 95. Apparently, all “preserver” base item jewelry requires lvl 95, which is odd and makes no sense. Not that I care for magic and rare items above lvl 94, but some consistency would be nice, you know?
Also, there’re two legendary items that have lvl 82 req istead of 84: Mythical Morguul’s Mortality and Mythical Will of Bysmiel. Like wtf is going on here?
