Cloak of the Restless Tribes — Back drop, item level & who can use it

Rare back from The Council of Tribes in Kings' Rest: item level 292–311 by difficulty. Every spec can use it — it carries Strength or Agility or Intellect, Vers · Mastery. Its effect decides more than its item level, so sim it.

why?

Why? · VerdictBuilt from the item level you set (308) against this drop on +10 and up (311), whether it has an effect, and whether your spec can use it. GamGem’s rule of thumb, not a sim: +6 or more is an upgrade, within ±5 a sidegrade, −6 or less a downgrade; any effect asks for a sim.

+3 item levels, but its effect decides — item level alone can’t price it.

Why? · EffectThe effect line from Blizzard’s item record. Its numbers are at the record’s preview item level (59), not the level it drops at.

Equip: Standing still for 4 sec increases your Speed by 5. Lasts for 4 sec once you start moving.

What actually changes?

why?

Why? · StatsBlizzard’s item record prints stats at a preview level that differs between items, so the rows compare how each item SPLITS its secondary rating — the share of each stat — not the raw numbers.

Shares of each item’s secondary rating, from Blizzard’s item records; the raw numbers sit at different preview levels, so they are not compared. Rows that move 20 points or more are lit.

How far can it grow?

why?

Why? · Upgrade trackItem level per rank is the gear page’s track table; every rank costs 20 Mistcrests of the item’s own track. A Mythic 344 drop is past the track and upgrades no further.

What does it compete with?

why?

Why? · CompetitionThe season’s other items for the same slot, the same armour and a shared primary stat, at their item level on the same track as this drop. “Different job” means one has an effect and the other does not — our rule.

Its effect makes it a different job from the stat-only rivals — a sim decides here, not item level.

• It carries Strength or Agility or Intellect: one piece serves specs of 3 kinds, so they can want the same drop.
