No idea, if it makes u feel better, I have been trying to upgrade my 700 lvl boots to something better for 2 weeks. Every time I find evade charges, 3/4 stats and roll the 4th w/o bricking, the item has lower values for all stats.
Basically I lose stats to add 30-50 armor. Makes zero sense. Seems flawed.
You know I'm new to Diablo and played my Rogue through level 100 in S0. Now I started a sorcerer in S1 and I'm just noticing this myself that rares can have 3 or 4 affixes as I level up. Thanks for this post - I was wondering if it was another nerf LOL.
I thought it was odd because I thought only the "unique" rares from the area bosses would drop with 3 affixes only (the ones that have the quote on the bottom and are guaranteed drops).
It is just random, rares have 3-4 affixes. Magic have 1-2 affixes. Legendaries always have 4 affixes. Pretty sure Ancestral rares always have 4 or maybe just once you get high enough item level it is always 4, I think I stopped seeing 3 affix rares at one point in pre season.
I think item level is either a sum of the stats it rolled with according to some hidden metric or reflective of the ranges they can have, this is why upgrading past a certain point rerolls the stats because the potential range went up at 650 for example.

Yeah but the rares for this season aren’t always like that, I’ve seen sacreds and ancestral 800+ roll 3 affix. Something is fishy.

In this case... Item power = armor stat
