Current Behaviour

I first noticed issue when I hit lvl 80 and crafted a Titansteel Destroyer to replace my Bloodied Arcanite Reaper. This was standard behavior in retail as when you hit 80 the BOAs stop being useful. However...Upon equipping the Destroyer my damage on the character screen and testing on the boss dummy dropped by about half? (exact percent is hard to determine looking at random white numbers but it would be 'around' 50%). I was concerned some mods (like the solo dungeon mod) might be causing an issue even though I was no longer in a dungeon so I spun up a fresh install of azerothcore and proceeded testing. Below are my results:

Setup:

• I set my account to permission level 3 which I believe is the highest.
• I created a paladin (all my testing has been on paladin).
• I leveled the paladin to 80 and set all weapon skills to 400 (max)
• I create some BoAs the majority of testing I did with the Bloodied Arcanite Reaper.
• I created a Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter (ilvl 264).
• With no buffs or other gear (other than the weapons) I proceeded to bash the boss target in Silvermoon City.

The character screen damage was similar between the 2 (sorry I don't remember the exact figures but they were 'close'). The white damage on the dummy seemed to average slightly higher on the Bone Arbiter.

I did also notice in other testing that this is not limited to the Bloodied Arcanite Reaper. I also used a Venerable Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge which was also considerably overperforming.

I did do an initial dive into the DB but I got stuck when I realized that the scaling tables in the world DB were blank.

Expected Blizzlike Behaviour

BOA weapons should not perform better than ilvl 200 lvl 80 weapons. Historically they slightly underperformed the first lvl 80 purples you can get at lvl 80

Steps to reproduce the problem

From above:

Setup:

• I set my account to permission level 3 which I believe is the highest.
• I created a paladin (all my testing has been on paladin).
• I leveled the paladin to 80 and set all weapon skills to 400 (max)
• I create some BoAs the majority of testing I did with the Bloodied Arcanite Reaper.
• I created a Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter (ilvl 264).
• With no buffs or other gear (other than the weapons) I proceeded to bash the boss target in Silvermoon City.

I did not create another titansteel destroyer for my fresh test but if you also wanted to use that it should slightly outperform the bloodied arcanite reaper.

Extra Notes

This 'feels' like a scaling issue with at least 2 of the BoA weapons. Thinking back to when I was leveling...When I switched from a blue weapon to the reaper (around lvl 30) I immediately noticed an improvement. Thinking back that should have been a signal there was an issue as I was killing mobs very quickly.
