Shadowlands heirlooms worse than green gear

Example shown is on a level 10 character with a level 10 green and an heirloom scaled to level 10.

Can I get a refund yet?

The only exception to this rule are the hellscream heirlooms which are about on par (And have sockets), but can’t be equipped until level 35.

WoD heirloom trinkets only scale up to level 44 when fully upgraded for some reason, so I hope nobody wanted to use them until level 49 like the rest of the heirlooms.

Levelling is faster than in BFA with heirlooms so I don’t understand the complaint

Oh I don’t know, maybe the hundreds of thousands of gold spent upgrading said heirlooms only for both their experience AND stats to be nerfed into the dirt to the point where using them makes you worse off than not using them.

You got use out of said items, do you ask for a refund when your old pc becomes obsolete?

If you don’t understand it there’s something clearly wrong.

They still have fairly useful set bonus plus you don’t need to care about switching gear since there’s often no drop for a couple of levels, making the heirlooms stronger again.

You are not making any kind of point

This is a weak argumentation to be honest with you and not comparable in any given form.

it all depends on how fast you get green items. yeah, even if they nerf the stats, if you run a dungeon you get, i dont know, 1-2 levels or something and then your account equip levels with you. so if you dont get any loot its still better than your green items. just depends on how fast you outlevel them and how often you get gear.

so green items to account equip arent really comparable imo.

Not really, the set bonus is garbage. 60% rested exp is about 1 out of 50 levels if you wait 10 days for it to stack up. The small buff on level up is useless since it’ll proc when you’re in a town most likely after turning in a quest and health regen is already sky-high so who needs more?

This is the OP’s picture, for clarification.

And yet scarily accurate, OP mentioned the expense of getting said items, my analogy was quite correct.

tbf, the bonuses are absolute garbage, the only positive thing about heirlooms is that you dont have to switch them out and dont have to re-transmog everytime you get something new.

Let’s be honest the game is so easy leveling now days you would have to pull half a map to die, this really isn’t an issue that people make it out to be. You earn gold for sneezing now days dont make out you have lost something important.

I think the issue is less about leveling for the OP. More so the pointlessness of the amount they spent upgrading.

The ilevel of the green item is higher than the loom.

Bump the loom level up to equal and they’re the same except stat spread.

The green item is a random drop judging by the name, which have levels separate from yours. So quest greens will not be superior as they’re scaled to your level like looms are.

I would if the guy I bought it from came into my house and downgraded my graphics card before smugly saying. “Well you got your use out of it!”

This would be solution indeed.

yea as we all did but we all got use out of them they really are not required anymore due to leveling speed now gold is insanely easy to earn now.

So you expect everything to remain the same then? You paid for the items, you have got full use out of the items, but now throw a wobbly gecause things change?

If the need for them was still a necessity then ok, but levelling now doesn’t require them

If someone changed your computer, purposefully downgrading it, wouldn’t you be angry? You started that analogy.
