    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    does it actually show the scale on the weapon btw? (ie say higher stats for 85 than 80). Wonder if this applies to armor too...

    I wouldnt get too excited. I tested my this morning with my heirloom bow (this is what we are talking about right?) I was getting about 1000dps lower than my Tol Barad 346 Crossbow.

    BOA 2h axe is 3.8 speed... it may be scaling, but it's lower than blue for sure if they're that close over the same raw number of hits.

    Yeah, but it's still probably better than a 333 weapon, even tho you would still need to keep one in your inventory to get the ilvl from it.

    Its def useful to skip weapon choices all the way to 85, just get some 333/346 thingie to place there and you're set.

    I'd probably still use a 346 weapon over a BoA just because of the gain in raw stats. ionno tho. I just heard about it and figured I'd test it to confirm so I shared it

    No it doesn't apply to armor, as the stats on the weapon or armor don't go up past 85 unless its the cloak or helm, the weapons just are bugged I guess and still have their damage scaling.
