Sentinel's Vitriolic Chain — Neck drop, item level & who can use it
Epic neck from Entombed Sentinels in The Venomous Abyss: item level 282–321 by difficulty. Every spec can use it — it carries Haste · Crit. Its effect decides more than its item level, so sim it.
why?
+13 item levels, but its effect decides — item level alone can’t price it.

How sure is this?
why?
Where evidence disagrees
- • Item level says upgrade; its effect may say otherwise — only a sim of your character settles it.
- • The Great Vault pays 318 for Heroic bosses — more than the drop itself (308).
