Geti'ikku, Cut of Death — Two-Hand drop, item level & who can use it

Rare two-hand from Dazar, The First King in Kings' Rest: item level 292–311 by difficulty. 8 specs can use it — it carries Strength. 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: Your melee attacks have a chance to make the enemy bleed for 206 Physical damage over 12 sec. You are healed for 77 when an enemy dies while bleeding from Geti'ikku.

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?
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.
311 · dropped on +10 and up

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

Which specs want it?

two-hand · 8 of 40 specs can use it
why?
Why? · Spec demandCan use = the class wears this armour, has the weapon skill (each class’s Warcraft Wiki page) and the spec’s primary stat is on the item (Blizzard). Stat fit is OUR comparison of the item’s two biggest secondaries with a stat order a GamGem spec guide sources — not a guide’s pick.

It has no secondary stats, so no stat order applies — what it does is in its effect or its look.

No spec’s top keys wear it in a share we publish (2% or more of a spec, at least 2 characters) — +16–23 keys, US+EU, week of Oct 6–14 (Blizzard API), 11,985 characters read. That says what top keys skipped this week, not that it is weak.

Share = of that spec’s top-key characters still in the spec when read, the part wearing this item in that slot (rings and trinkets: either slot).
