No items scaled with spellpower in vanilla after 1.9

[PriestInOurTime]

Can anyone give a single counter-example to this statement?

Also, if there is evidence for Lifestealing, Fiery Weapon or Fiery Blaze scaling, feel free to post that too.

And no, posts after 2.0 or regarding the TBC beta doesn't count. Neither does forum posts saying, "I think it does", "it should", "I remember hearing" or even "I remember it did", for reasons that should be beyond obvious. Good contemporary evidence is what we need.

(in 1.6.1 Oil of Immolation and in 1.9 The Force Reactive Disk and Cloak of Fire, the only items to scale with spell power, were fixed, I'll accept pre-1.6.1/1.9 statements/videos on any other item. The goal here is to see if there actually is any merit to certain players claims.)

For good measure, here is a quote from a Blizzard CM explaining the intent that items don't scale with spell power, only normal player spells. http://blue.cardplace.com/cache/wow-general/5161483.htm

Wands are treated as an item, not a spell. +spell gear will affect any spells cast using mana, that originate from the caster, themselves. Wands can do extra damage if there is a resistance debuff on the creature (such as a fire resist debuff and a fire damage wand), but do not count as spells for the purposes you are describing.

Confirmed counterexamples:

Weapon Procs confirmed to scale with +damage: e.g Ancient Hakkari Manslayer, Zulian Slicer. Scaling rates seem to vary.

I have already warned you that i will REKT you with Pure Evidence next time .

Patch 1.9 Removed only 2 Items from Scale by Spell Damage . BUT!
Didn't remove the rest.

The website you are even posting as Link is not any Official or Recognized website .

Let me enlighten you what Offficial Websites and Blizzard Telling toward Preachers like you :

By Official Website :
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Darkmoon_Card:_Maelstrom

It is known to crit and may be affected by +spell damage (hits over 300 have occurred on non-vulnerable targets), and can be resisted normally as nature damage, it can also hit for 1000-1400 when the target is vulnerable to nature, in BWL for example.

® By Blizzard as PURE evidence!

That being said , i do remember that a couple of these scaled with spell damage waay back in the day, but the proc coefficient and such is not something we'd be able to get ahold of at this point.



Another thing is because you mix Frogs with Oranges :

Wands are not "proc damage" neither spell damage or magic damage , They are Elemental Damage and does not scale with Spell Damage or Spell Crit neither melee Crit .

The more you post , the more you will get rekt by Evidences .

"on 2006/09/14 (Patch 1.12.0)
The chance on hit for this axe IS affected by dmg/healing, in turn actually giving you a 200% bonus from it, as the dmg portion is directly affected as well as the heal.
(i.e. if you have 400dmg/heal this axe will proc for 448-454dmg, and heal you for that much as well.)

Other items which have a similar proc to them are also affected in this manner."

You really need to stop posting PriestInOurTime - you are making yourself look completely retarded with every word you type...

Rejected. Speculation and hearsay. Way better evidence needed.
