[Heads up] Scaling is broken for level 85's in 85-89 bracket

[phantom325]

Hey! Just noticed that scaling is absolutely ridiculous for level 85's in the 85-89 bracket. For example, my normal ilvl is 380, but in a BG it's 425.
Here's a game I just played as a Disc Priest


This works even better if you have twink gear, and remember this only works at 85. Once you hit 86 your gear scaling falls off drastically

When did they introduce scaling? I did a BG on my rogue and didn't notice anything special. But then again I suck at my rogue.

I have 550 on my 85 Priest, this isn't wrong scaling - it's as it were intended to be
My Priest have 445 iLvl without BG and it adds around 20 per level I think it is.

When there's items such as Sun-Lute of the Phoenix King - Item - World of Warcraft in the game for 85's it shows that Blizzard has lost all sense of scaling at such levels :P

Thats exactly my point. If you can get 550 as an 85 you're going to wrec any other levels that have less than 500.

@thomja, they introduced it in 5.2

EDIT: The point I was making is that it is weird that you get such inanely high scaling at 85, but as soon as you level up even once, your stats fall off drastically
