2.1.0 Patch Notes

[Quark]

Those are pretty masive buffs. If they change the rest of the Kara epic similarly I'll probably be able to tank all the curent bosses I do now with no pots. What a crazy idea!

Kalgan says they've only gone through about 1/3rd of the coming epic item changes. Get this: item levels are rising. The exalted Violet Signets are going from ilvl 115 to ilvl 130. The badge rewards are going from ilvl 100 to what looks to be ilvl 110. Looks like rep reward armor is going 95->105 while rep reward weapons are 95->100.

There was a slight DPS nerf on high-end weapons before, and now it makes more sense since the high end ones will have a higher base DPS due to item level increasing. If Guile of Khoraazi is the standard indication, overall weapon DPS will only be slightly increased over 2.0. Yes, this caries over into sacrificial DPS (Blade of the Archmage gains 9 more +spell damage, for instance).

We'll have to wait and see if they purposely skip any items on the ilvl bumps. Tailoring? Anyone?
