Does this still apply?

I've got a few hours to level up tonight and I want to be judicious.

I don’t know, but it’s a good question.

I don’t like the power curve on powerful drops. I never know whether it’s actually going to be worth it or not.

If they are following the corrected one from last Season, powerful drops should be a few points above average or more up until 740. Then they’ll dip to generally 1 above average.
