Check out this thread on WoW General:

According to this, if your gloves give you 7mp5, and your belt gives you 7mp5, you get a total of 7mp5, rather than 14. Same with enchants and gems (!).

Have people heard of this before, or have empirical evidence supporting/refuting it?

This was posed in a thread on here recently if I remember correctly. Someone saying that his mp/5 didn't add up quite right. I'm going to go digging now to see if I can find it. This would kinda make sense, as my regen hasn't felt right, but that of course is not evidence.

Edit: ^^ That's the thread I meant.


vv Oh and there it is again.

I think there were more then a few examples in that thread

New to me.

I can say that at my last check, this was not so for weapon enchants. (2x +15 agi gave different numbers than 1x 15agi.) I can't say from personal experience whether or not that would hold true in BC, but my experience with gems (multiple iterations of Rigid Golden Draenite stacking appropriately) leads me to believe it isn't the case.

Gah, I was out of town that weekend and completely missed that thread. Oops. Well, if nothing else, this is official confirmation from a blue poster (albeit in Europe). Talk about a bad bug.

The reason for that, I think, is that direct stat mods (+str, +agi) are applied directly to your character.

MP5 exists as an aura, where each value has its own invisible "buff" effect: http://thottbot.com/?sp=27912

Edit: Anyway, closing this thread, bumping the other one.
