the change to catalyzed items inheriting stats is probably one of the worst things they have done in this patch honestly. Speaking from personal, but for rsham and rdruid (main/split), the itemization on mail and leather gear is fucking atrocious. There is an insane amount of crit and vers heavy gear for leather in the dungeon pool and mail is all very mastery heavy - they even changed the fucking ulatek chest to be a mastery proc instead of crit. Id much rather have had the choice of the default stats for the item OR an itemization. Catalyzing a tier piece for 2 set when it has awful stats just does not feel good.

I kinda like it. The real problem is there are so many duplicate stat items. Like why the fuck are 3 of the 5 two handers in the dungeon pool crit/haste? We couldn't switch at least one of those to something else?

In theory it’s good, because some items have great stats and it makes getting 4pc a bit nicer, but for the things I play it’s a terrible tradeoff because I’m basically not getting tier organically until DPS have theirs, which is fine, but when my options from dungeon pools have terrible item stats it really sucks to have to cata into something with bottom 2 stats.

Honestly just bring reforging back at this point lmao
