I retract my previous and premature opinion of the item. Been giving this more thought after reading Neme's post and Maxweii's yah this frost one could be quite powerful especially if you consider the strength gains from T20 in combination with this. Infact I'd be pretty surprised if it came out at 200% ap. I'm assuming the bracer would be the ideal combo with this one.

Anyone not understanding that the new legendary chest is GODLIKE fails at simple math.
It hits for 6000% AP every 30sec (that is 3x stronger than SF). On top of that add higher ilvl, T20, concordance etc.
Totally broken.
I would be surprised if this one even survives a flat 50% nerf.
Last time I checked our class color wasn't brown. There is no way this will go live like that, and even if it did, once the first chest drops it will be nerfed hard. That it does ludicrous amounts of damage with a single hit is probably the first hurdle.. assuming they want it to be viable (seeing the legs though that's probably wishful thinking), then I could see them reducing the ramp up time and giving it a smaler instant hit while keeping overall dps viable. Or they will only make it charge in combat and out of combat the stacks drop off immediately and reduce the damage.

The numbers being so off, confirms my beliefs I've had for a long time now.
Blizzard are obviously doing this intentionally, creating a hype around X item/set/ability to make more people play the game but also stay (aka farming those m+/raid every week). A company this establish just can't be that stupid, even if its only PTR atm. Kind of a cheap shot to the playerbase and makes me lose faith sadly.
