To help better keep an eye on the Auction House from day one, my friends and I have gathered some interesting spreadsheets. When we hit level 60, we realized that the game takes on a very different tone than the journey of 1-59. Anyone who has attempted inferno, except this guy, knows that it can be terrifying challenge requiring excellent gear and intense skill.
In that vein, I attempted to catalogue the highest primary stat boost available on the 11 armor slots (strength/dexterity/intelligence). My findings were as follows (not including exceptional legendary items):
Google Doc
As I played the game I noticed that certain items tended to have higher stats than others. The spreadsheet makes clear that for each stat there appear to be two items which generate higher stat bonuses than others. This may be intentional, or could be a flaw on my part (since my data is coming from the AH and is an incomplete snapshot of D3 items). In any case, these items have higher stat boost of the following types:
Dexterity: Boots, Gloves
Intelligence: Gloves, Helm
Strength: Shoulder, Belt
Vitality: Chest
Amulets can feature high stat boosts of any type.
The items line up with our expectations of body position and character stat (head for intelligence, feet for dexterity). Apparently, no one at Blizzard does squats where TRUE strength is formed but there you have it. For those of you trying to optimize two stats (get your resists up!), hope you find this helpful.
