at lvl 61 currently wearing mostly items that are lvl 51 with item power ranging from 650-700.
the lvl 60+ gear i currently get usually ranges from <600 - 650.
how am i supposed to get any upgrades when like every sacred weapon i get already has -100 dps at minimum? even a godroll wont fix that.
i mean how can it be that an items that are 10 lvl higher have worse base stats?
and its not just this one item, every item i got from 51-61 is just much weaker than what i have.
with the world around me scaling as i level up, but my character stays at the same power.
it just feels like my character gets weaker the more i play.
the obol vendor is trying to sell me lvl 42 items when im lvl 61.
sure im gonna get any upgrade there…
first of items are item power based, and there is treshholds when the stats gets the jumps.
Example, if you get and item power 699, its not worth to upgrade it,
cause 725 is an treshhold, where stats gets upped to next rank.
maybe can give an idea.
i know its not an direct answer but maybe some help
uhm you mean like in wow and world quest item rewards scaling?
and also do i need to have the items equipped to reach the next treshhold or would it also work if i just keep the high item power items in stash?
cant answer if keeping higher items help, i just wanted to explain the treshhold thing cause you talked about weapons as example 
seems like keeping those items in storage doesnt help.
did helltide and a few nightmare dungeons and still the same.
the problem must be that im using a lvl 35 necklace and a lvl 42 ring with good rolls.
most of my items beeing lvl 51-55 with item power of 650-700, yet on lvl 62 still mostly getting only items with power of 550-650, rarely ever anything above 650.
this makes absolute zero sense to me.
edit:
i calculated the average item powe of my gear to be 647,36.
not sure if the blacksmith upgrades count, but all my gear is +3 and the weapons are +4 which would put the average at roughly 665.
my char just keeps getting weaker with every lvl up.
wtf is this design seriously?

Anyone find anything out about this? Level 55 weapons are like 300 more dps than lv 62 weapons dropping. All armor is 22-60 armor worse with worse stats. Legit don’t understand how I’m supposed to get stronger if my sacred legendaries and sacred unique gear is dropping significantly worse
Yep. Same here. Lvl 62 now, and the leveling progress has hit somewhat of a wall in every aspect. My best loot is from like 10 lvl earlier and the paragon system needs many points invested to get me to feel a sense of progression and the xp seems to have halted to a crawl. It’s really a whole other game at this lvl it just…stopped.
And when finally some sacred unique drop (nightmare 3 here) it’s worse then what I have for 10 lvls or it’s the same ones over and over…weird.
