Doompetal — Ranged drop, item level & who can use it

Rare ranged from Ikuzz the Light Hunter in The Blinding Vale: item level 292–311 by difficulty. 9 specs can use it — it carries Intellect, Haste · Mastery. Stats only — no effect to sim.

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 — within ±5, so the secondary stats decide.

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.

How far can it grow?

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? · 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.

    Nothing else this season fills this slot for the same armour and stat — it has no rival in the pool.

    Who wears it in top keys
