Blizzard Poster Drysc has started a thread over at the official community forums of Blizzards World of Warcraft announcing that there will be a general increase in overall item quality with each new raid tier. Drysc explains:
The ‘cost’ of sockets on an item currently scales slightly with item quality, meaning the higher the quality an item the more a socket will account for. In an upcoming content patch though we’re standardizing the cost of sockets on high end items to match the lower end items. This in turn directly results in a base stat increase for the higher quality items, which will be seen in that same patch.
Our item designers are also going to be taking passes on all expansion raid sets and other additional changes may be seen in upcoming patches. It’s not our intention for higher tiers of raid armor to be worse or side-grades to previous sets. While in some cases they may not always have the specific stat that some may prefer the intent is that the overall item quality is indeed higher with each new raid tier.
If Drysc's explanation somehow confused you , what this basically means is that in future patches, fewer points are going to be spent on sockets. This means that more points will be available to players for the stats that they want.
Definitely good news for all raiders/aspiring raiders.
