Legendary Class Mod Value Query

Borderlands 2 Gameplay Discussion (Spoilers!)
#1

Playing on PC as maya the Siren I have come across a few anomalies in the Legendary COM values. A couple of recent examples include:

Level 73 Legendary Cat COM: SMG Damage +135%, SMG Accuracy -34%
Level 79 Legendary Cat COM: SMG Damage +108%, SMG Accuracy -36%

Level 62 Legendary Siren COM: Cooldoen Rate +43%, Gun Damage +32%
Level 65 Legendary Siren COM: Cooldoen Rate +43%, Gun Damage +32%

I would expect that the higher the level the better the Class Mods would get. In the given examples it seems that they get worse as the difficulty levels increase. The values on the Cat COM are rather significant. Is this normal or is what I have just a fluke?

The non-vanilla legendary COMs (Cat in your example) are not scaled with level, that means you can have max stats at lvl 61.

#3

COMs have hidden “parts” that affect stats. Each stat has its own “part” that can be one of five different quality levels. It’s possible to have a low level COM with level 5 parts and it have higher stats than a high level COM with level 1 parts. Or you can get one stat that’s, for example, level 5, one that’s level 3 and one that’s level 1.

The same goes for relics.
