The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[DR.]

I was looking into 1h's today the Swadia's Wrath its red ? (From looking at all the other stuff best for that class or hero locked eg Zwei helms are red. )
Most people will say Ragnar's Wrath better putting the Swadia's Wrath at orange.
If Ragnar's Wrath = to Illustrious why would Swadia's Wrath have that stats and be red.

2nd thing was thinking is it a mist opportunity to make it not a cheaper version of the Illustrious but the opposite of Ragnar's Wrath my idea was like.
