Someone please check my math.

Savage Cobalt Slicer.

Simple ilvl 163 crafted blue, or overpowered ilvl 283 NIGHTMARE OF THE AGES?

Someone please check my math. Go to WoWwiki's article on ilvl, get the formulas, and check me, please.

Because wow, if it's a 120 ilvl difference from intended, these swords are in for a HELL of a nerf.

It looks like the nerf is inbound, From the 3.0.8 patch notes 'The following crafted weapons have had their stats adjusted to properly reflect their intended power:

* Corroded Saronite Edge, Corroded Saronite Woundbringer, Cudgel of Saronite Justice, Furious Saronite Beaststick, Saronite Spellblade, Saronite Shiv, Savage Cobalt Slicer, Notched Cobalt War Axe, Sturdy Cobalt Quickblade, Cobalt Tenderizer '

Well, I ran through the numbers myself, and it looks like you're right (it's calculated as a Superios iLVL 283 item using the BC values).

Total stat mod value is 66.19
adjusted for slot mod, this brings it to 156.88
Adjusted for being Superior... we fly back up to iLVL 283

If the total iLVL was right, the DPS stat is fine (within 3 DPS of expected). However, if the stat calculation is right, DPS would need to be around 197 on it to match the rest of the itemization.

These bad boys are going to get hit HARD :(

(going to spot check against the Kalu'Al rep daggers to make suremy math is ok
