Item Level and Azerite Gear

Community General Discussion

This may have been mentioned already, but I think its a bit silly that Azerite gear gives more stamina and priority stat than other gear that is higher item level.

For instance, the new ‘catch up’ gear is ilvl 100, but a Azerite chest piece with ilvl 77, from leveling, gives more stamina and priority stat than the catch up gear.

I also found this to be a bit of an annoying issue on Shadowlands Beta. The character I copied didn’t have amazing gear, I think its average item level was around 80. But throughout leveling (at least to 55) nothing I got from quests replaced my Azerite gear. It felt very unrewarding.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like Blizzard need to remove traits and essences already, and Azerite gears stats need to be decreased. Obviously they wouldn’t have secondary stats but the gap is too high.

You already said it yourself, it gives stamina and primary stat… it doesn’t give secondary stats.

what do you mean already? even if shadowlands hit traits and essences wont disappear, they will stay in the game. however, they wont have any effect in shadowlands regions.

Anyone know when our azerite traits and essences stop working ? Is it shadowlands launch?

I heard that too - not that it will make a huge difference in legacy content regarding old raids, they just take a few minutes longer.
