Hell, your hp, dps, spell numbers will be smaller than of those of your current Cataclysm alts.
They can BS all they want that it will be percentages etc. but at the end of the day, it's a nerf.
Numbers indicate progress, take that away and you remove the incentive to progress when you know any new gear will pull off far smaller numbers than MoP or even Cataclysm. This move by Blizz will cost them many many subscribers, so it won't take long until they remove the squish. Ofc a vocal minority will scream outrage, but Blizz should stop letting their spam on the forums determine the direction of the game!
