When did they change the Blood Drenched Gi?

[Darem0]

<div>I've been doing Bloodlines for a week to get the Blood Drenched Gi and Devastation Fist and finally got my Gi drop tonight. I'm quite disappointed to see that the mitigation is now 113 instead of the 217 that it used to be. Knowing that ahead of time would have saved me the trouble. I waited until I was level 45 to solo this since I've never been able to find a Bloodlines group. I'll try to post an image. I am very disappointed, but I thought I'd post as a warning.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img src="http://216.197.105.35/bdg.gif"></div>

<div></div>I never realized that it used to be higher, quite a lame ninja nerf.

<div></div><p>This is what is on eq2players at the moment. Have I mentioned how disappointed I am?</p><p><img src="http://216.197.105.35/bdg2.gif"></p>

<div></div>Ouch, Yeah def : (.

<div></div><div></div><div></div>I assume the mit shown on the eq2 player site is pre-LU13. A lot of things were reballanced with the combat update. You must also take into account the mit increase from the damage type resists it has.All in all, it's still an awesome choice for a level appropriate player. At 45 though, it's not nearly as uber.<div></div><p>I just got a Gi of Madness and was slightly disapointed by the low mit as well (compared to T6 scaled stuff). I would gladly trade the strength buff proc it has on it for damage type resists like the blood drenched has. But again, at a more appropriate level (45), it would be relatively much better. You can't really blame lvl 30 gear for you being lvl 45, as I can't blame lvl 45 gear for my being lvl 58. (all the more reason I crave some dark decipal love. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by x0rtrunks on <span class="date_text">01-09-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:07 PM</span></p>

It's a level 30.. T4.. Treasured chest piece..  Compared to T5 Fabled BPs which have 216 mitigation, I think it's where it is supposed to be atm.<div></div>

Wow friends of mine have been asking me to head down there and I was going to just at the chance to pick up that Gi but after seeing this I'm glad I didn't. Sure it's close for a L30 Gi (T4 crafted had 148mit BTW) but not nearly what it should be for such a hard item to get.<div></div>

[Reposa]

T4 crafted mitigation is based on the item being legendary.  The BDGi is fine now.. if anything, maybe they should upgrade it to legendary and bring the mitigation in line with T4 rare crafted because yea, it is a pain to get a hold of.<div></div>

<div></div><div>I'm going to have to agree with the above posters.  I'm betting the info on EQ2Players is pre combat update.  Rare crafted T6 BP is 235Mit, so that item being a lvl 30ish item would probably be in the mid 100's as far as mitigation goes.</div>

<div></div>Everyone is right by saying its *fine* because, well it does still rock.But, is sorta sad to see a unexpected nerf.

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>My point of view.Last time I saw it, higher mitigation.Never read anything about the mitigation being reduced.See it on this thread a day ago with lowered mitigation.To me, Unexpected nerf.

<div></div><blockquote><hr>Colossaltitan wrote:<div></div>Never read anything about the mitigation being reduced.<hr></blockquote>You never read the numerous posts about the change to mitigation and that they were going to remove mitigation from all jewerly items... etc?

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>Ooooooooooooooooh yah.  I tend to blockout things I don't like. =D

<div></div>It was changed WAY, WAY back with LU13 (ok, so it wasn't all that way back...) I have posted this many times, including in the Carnages guide to Bruising. He still hasn't changed it.
