What the heck is going on with Item Levels

Couldn't help but notice that when putting on some of the new blue level 70 gear (Elemental Corrupted Black Ice, specifically), with all of the same enchantments transferred over with it, that in some cases my 'Item Level' score actually DROPPED despite the fact these new pieces are all listed as supposedly giving 6 or so MORE Item Level points apiece.

The chest piece increased it--the boots and hat did not, they actually lowered it.

Explain this, please, Cryptic?

    Did you lose the set bonuses?

    Well yeah, but the 4/4 level 60 epic Corrupted BI set bonus was a chance for gaining Power when attacking, so it wasn't a regular stat adjustment (in fact I am still getting the +150 Control Bonus because I'm only wearing two pieces of the blue version atm and still have 2/4 of my old purples). The blue version of Corrupted BI armor has no set bonus at all, but I was under the impression the Item Level score was largely based on raw stats, not 'percentage of something happening'.

    Item level is specifically *not* based on only the raw stats. They are a factor, of course, but the non-stat attributes play into it as well. That is the fundamental difference between the mod 6 item level implementation and the previous "gear score" algorithm.

    The set bonus may well be what is pushing the item level on the 60 stuff higher.

    I lost about 300 item lvl when equiping items at lvl 65 over my low lvl 60 ones and I gained about 1500 stats and 20k hp but yet I lost 300 item lvl, still not sure why. I really think they should have just kept gear score or removed the idea entirely because item lvl doesn't work well and even so I still prefer the gear score idea more.

    ...erm, one tiny thing: Enchantments boost the ILvl, too. So you can only compare unsocketed and/or eqRank stuff directly.

    Also, there's a factor for Level, and a factor for rarity, from what I've seen and elucidated.

    Yep and they also need to fix the Item level issue in the inspect page, right now when you inspect someone, it's your item level that's displayed, making it a personal number.
