What’s with all these crazy new numbers?

The above is likely the question many of you will be asking yourselves when you first load up the Burning Crusade and look at some of your equipment. I know I did. When the Burning Crusade is released (and possibly even before in a patch to the game) many of the old standard bonuses to gear will be gone.

The obvious ones that you will notice right away are +1% to crit and +1% to hit. Instead you will see cryptic looking numbers like +14 to critical strike and +22 to hit. There are even new ones like +20 to resilience. What is Resilience? Don’t worry all will be explained here: What’s with all these crazy new numbers?.
