    "Cloaks and Belts from Altar of Malice zones all now have either weapon skills or casting skills."
    Thats what it says in todays update....but its not true. My cloak and belt had no skills added to them, (fighter cloak and belt, xiocite). Any info when ALL cloaks and belts will have the skills you said?

    That would most likely be after the servers have been patched, which would be tomorrow morning for Splitpaw.

    Cloaks and Belts from Altar of Malice zones, so.. only from loot, not mc.

    My Raid dropped Belt and Clock changed, but since I have not gotten a Mit/Block Raid drop i was using a MC Clock over it and it as stated did not get changed. Can we have the 96+Crafted Belts and Clocks get the same treatment, or have a Heroic dropped version that non raiders can get.

    There are heroic versions of the cloaks and belts already in game.

    event have already fabled cloaks and belts in the (rare) loot table.

    I would agree that all crafted and mastercrafted cloaks would ideally be updated as well. :)

    would love to see MC updated. The mit cloaks/belts just don't seem to exist!

    very nice change but was hoping for +focus on the doublecast cloak/belt

    and for some reason there is +focus +weapon skills on tank/melee cloaks but only +weapons on the belts

    The double cast cloak/belts... have no focus skill..

    Focus is only intended to be on the melee cloaks for now. We will discuss it further and go from there.

    Focus is a mage's auto-attack stat. As a result, focus is itemized on cloaks that support auto attack

    Focus actually is on belts - just not "caster style" belts.

    Basically the stat layout on cloaks and belts were merged. If the focus skill is not there its because the other item with skills did not have the focus skill. Stats were not added that did not exist on another version of the similar type of items (caster cb/pot belt versus doublecast belt)

    that makes absolutely no sense as auto attack cloaks would only be used by a mage/priest that melees (i.e. melee warden, not wanding like a dc caster), and they would need weapon skills not focus. Focus only effects spell weapons, not melee. Focus also determines a casters chance to be interrupted when being hit (thus needed on a caster cloak).

    This. I think the issue is that focus was lumped in with other weapon skills, when in reality it should have been split off as a caster stat.
