By introducing the new Invoker's Mantle shoulders, Blizzard is fixing a hole in Alliance gearing. In the cloth shoulder slot, Horde has the opportunity to get
Mantelet noisette élimé from the
Allégeance aux Dieux très anciens quest, while Alliance players had to use gearing options with much lower power levels.
The Invoker's Cord will help both factions by adding a proper spell power option where before, most casters opted to use the
Ceinture d'Arugal because it has more Intellect than
Cordelière de Ghamoo-ra, which was mostly used as a PVP off-spec alternative. This meant that your best-in-slot belt had a relatively low item level, which felt odd compared to other high-level best-in-slot cloth items.
It is very nice to see Blizzard developers understanding gearing issues within this new version of Classic and actually going in and fixing them!
