Dropped item · should I take it?

Silken Voodoo Drape — Back drop, item level & who can use it

Epic back from The Coiled Altar in The Venomous Abyss: item level 289–344 by difficulty. Every spec can use it — it carries Strength or Agility or Intellect, Mastery · Haste. Stats only — no effect to sim.

Dropped on

Equipped ✎302

315HeroicUPGRADE

why?

Why? · VerdictBuilt from the item level you set (302) against this drop on Heroic (315), 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.

+13 item levels — an upgrade on item level alone.

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.

315 · dropped on Heroic

On the Hero track it out-levels 4 of its 5 same-slot rivals — none beats it on item level.

Which specs want it?

Where evidence disagrees

• It carries Strength or Agility or Intellect: one piece serves specs of 3 kinds, so they can want the same drop.
• The Great Vault pays 318 for Heroic bosses — more than the drop itself (315).
