Going from 630 to 695, it's 10%. Jumping lots of item levels is fine when the item level itself is so high. Going from 630 to 655 for example isn't nearly as big of a deal as going from 232 to 251. I think they won't have to squish stuff so soon because with the removal of reforge you do not get to stack your favourite stat to insane levels like now. | ||

(mythic) The easiest difficulty will be 25 man (LFR) everything else will be 10 to 30 scaling (Normal/Heroic) | ||

Thats not how the ilvl increases your stats though, it scales up logarithmically, something like 50% extra every 14 ilvl iirc | ||

The 50% every 14 ilvl is something I've read somewhere, I can link you the formula for a few trinkets or pieces of gear if you'd like? Or you can just open up an item on wowhead and see the amount of stats per ilvl increases as the ilvl gets higher. Here is the procs per minute formula for black blood [formula = 1/(1.15^((553-ItemLevel)/15] http://www.wowhead.com/item=99424 If you look at this piece of gear for example the amount of stats per ilvl increase in a greater rate each upgrade lvl. After the gsl finals I'll try and track down the 50% number | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hC3vO2X.jpg) This is item lvl vs intellect (the blue line) and sum of secondary stats (orange line) on mage tier chest items during MoP. It looks fairly linear to me. It most definitely isn't logarithmic (which btw is a slower increase than linearly, i think you meant exponentially). Trinket behaviour isn't really a good way to model the power of items imo because a) soo trinkets are op as fuck and b) in general, trinkets are very different from every other piece of gear. | ||

 In any event, across that graph you linked before it's noticeable across the single tier. Call me old fashioned I guess, I just think that going up 65 ilvl in one tier is ludicrous. | ||
