Item bonuses not adding up

Posted this morning at WoWInsider:

 

They certainly haven't announced it very loudly, but when player Athas complained about mana regeneration numbers not adding up just right, Blizzard poster Eilanai responded saying it sounded like a known bug. (Who knew about it is another question entirely.) The bug? If you have two items with identical bonuses (i.e. two items that both give +6 mana per 5 seconds) they will not stack. Sounds kind of an important issue to me.

Yeah I read that too. not awesome =(

I noticed last night that my Clefthoof set (defense/stam leather set) was not giving me the set bonus. It's only +20 Str, so it doesnt matter much and I hadn't even noticed it for a week, but yeah, I assumed it was a bug with other sets too.

 

Yall also might want to read this post by Drysc regarding Raid itemization and "sidegrades". If you haven't noticed already, there's a lot of armor from Kara or later raids that are more or less sidgrades or just marginally better than what you should already have, even when compairing official Tier sets. Example, a number of Tier 5 Resto items have less +healing or stats than their Tier 4 equivalent. Blizz is going to be reworking stats on Tier sets and epics from raids to justify the time/consumables/money spent to progress. A lot of people have been complaining about the unjust rewards and epics that are no better than a lot of blues from 5mans or quests. Sockets are also being changed too, but I don't know squat about JC so I dont know what it means.
