Ciao 👋 !

Are you sure that is better to scale it based on gear instead of level?

Hi @Helias.

I tested this on a private server with two other people.
The reason behind this is that whereas the bonus looks very high when a character just got level 80, it becomes less useful as you move raids such as ToC and ICC.
Moreover, while melee DPSes benefit from the increased strength being converted to attack power, casters do not have such a strong sp increase.
This aims to balance the different behavior.
That being said, the multiplier in the config should also be set to 1.0 as a default. I already did it on my server, but forgot to add it to the git repo.

I'm fixing it right away.
Sorry for that and for the WoT 😉
