WTH did they do to heirlooms

Spent 20k for 110>120 gear started levelling my warrior and heirloom gear 77 stam random blue 256 stam I’m getting more or less 1 shotted with 27k health.

What happened to heirlooms being on bar with blues of that level!

They changed it.

I just wear looms in the slots that don’t have azerite once I hit 110.

But ofc they did can’t let your players have anything nice lol ah well guess I’ll wait to Shadow lands then. If all these systems are to keep players playing they doing it wrong :slight_smile:

Once you get 110 swap for azerite pieces. It’s meant to slow down your xp gain quite a bit (30% less).

I do this even when playing 3 together… faster killing over the exp everytime for me :slight_smile:

Don’t forget you can get an exp gem for 5% also once you reach 111 from the ah, you can buy a ring with socket same level also from ah.

Not losing 30% xp and having only 2 usable looms lol defeats the purpose of having them…

As player mention other gear is superior for performance. It is a good idea to change back to heirlooms when you turn in quests for the extra exp gains and then back.

I feel fairly certain this works fine for underleveled heirlooms too, so they are just helpful if you have yet to find a better item for that slot or if the scaling/azerite trait becomes weaker than the scaled heirloom.

i d suggest to equip looms in non-azerite slots and only equip the azerite-slot-looms when you turn in quests and then swap back to your regular gear.

Hahah, they do not worth it anymore, my looms are capped at 100, spending gold on them would be a waste.

Yes me too :frowning:

Just swap your looms on when handing in quests. Swap out again when killing mobs. Once you get to about lvl 118 just keep your looms o.

Exactly this. :clap:

They fixed them. It’s bad game design if heirlooms are so powerful that no upgrade exists for the entire leveling process.

So BFA is bad design as you never change neck and now cape, legion was bad because you never changed weapons?

Leveling = boring and a means to and end as someone who used to be an altaholic 10 level 80s during wrath :P, that’s the reason they made heirlooms in the first place! Having them on par with blues like they where just means instead of just vendor items you click on them for a level instead? WoW such impact :stuck_out_tongue:

Idiots whined so they made them worse than dungeon gear of same level.

Not to mention that they aren’t given expansion features like Azerite traits.

And why do we still lack heirlooms wrist, hand, waist and feet?

Hahaha, the same idiots also said “Muh game is too easy make it harder” and now they are crying on forums everday “Make essences account bound” :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I level with my heirlooms all the way to 120 because nothing has been better than getting the XP boost for me. People do what suits them best.

It will scale properly once you hit 111. Afaik they’ve always worked like that, in the past they only scaled up to TBC levels at 61, wotlk at 71 etc.

Nope 113 and still 90 stam vs 285 on a piece I got at 110… Its also 50 ilevels lower.
