My Thoughts On Major Id's

It didn't exist in beta.

 

Welp, that’s a straight mistake on CT then

 

Major IDs were given to items that invoke a certain playstyle, in the case of plague staff, given its unique nature in that it doesn't actually have a damage stat that would really solidify it as a level 60 weapon, it instead has poison which can scale to endgame, it getting plague was merely to support this.

As for mythics, they were either given to ones lacking a gimmick, such as nirvana, or needed more support, such as ignis.
Stratiformis already has a gimmick in the form of its high walk speed and nor is particularly lacking elsewhere, so it wasn't given a major ID or any new stats.

I would also urge people to not draw any conclusions until we've seen the full pool of new fableds and mythics.
