Another week and time for another sit down with Ghostcrawler and the World of Warcraft developers, yes it’s another installment of “Dev Watercooler” (or “Coffee with the Devs", for those of us in the EU).

This week the Great Crab is keen to talk about stats on gear, imaginatively entitling this missive ”Stats on Gear”. He delves deep into several alternative universes where there’s individual gear for every spec in every class as well as explaining how they prefer to keep loot tables a little more manageable. The long and short of it is this: they like the Cataclysm system of simpler stats and shinier gear so get used to it.
