Twinking at 85.

[mookjr]

@robert.
i had a mage that was sitting around 79 and started leveling him up for twinking at 85 (was probably 83 when mop released). I wasn't planning ahead, so didn't level through battle grounds and thus had only bought 2 pieces of season 11 gear by the time they took the vendor away. You won't win a dual against someone in full s11, but in bgs you'll do fine. I'm enjoying myself quite a bit and i haven't even come close to finishing the character yet (waiting for some blues to show up on ah still and still leveling profs)

3 to go.

1 BoE:

Pestilential Ring

2 BoP (can't get em until i get MoP trial)

Yoke of Niuzao

Wristguards of Great Fortune

Why are you reforging dodge and parry?

Anyone able to whip up a dev for an 85 rogue/warr? For the warr prot, or dps, doesn't matter. Either works. The rogues full cata geared, and I don't think I had any pvp pieces on the warr. I've been on the verge of lvling one or the other, but I've regretted it in the past, and I already leveled two toons to 90. So, I'm still on the fence about taking anymore to 90 so soon.

Also, I have a few other toons I might level/twink, but they're far less geared.
85: Mage, Pally, Lock.
81: DK, Druid.
80: Shaman (untwinked, prof toon)

Been trying to think of which ones I'd like to twink, and keep coming up blank on it.

ok i admit that i am pretty new to paladin, what's the stat to reforge to for pvp?

what about pve?

In PvP -> Hit exp caps then haste or mastery (mastery is better for burst)
In PvE -> 7.5% hit/15% expertise then haste or mastery (next to no difference)

i see. thanks. i ll work on my reforge once i finish collecting gears.

edit: why is dodge/parry not as good? in pvp.

 

[Splosion]

Because dodge and parry doesn't work on spells, or if you're stunned. Granted mastery doesn't either, but if you cast SotR before you're stunned, it has a greater effect. Haste on the other hand reduces the cooldown of your short duration spells and the tick rate of sacred shield (which is better than all of the other talents as protection)/

could someone throw together a chardev for me, for an 85 SP i tried making one but couldn't decide if iw anted full Mop or try for pve sockets since pvp set is out atm, is BH still dropping the loots? can we still get it that way?

 

[dtmaik]

Anyone Know if theres still a obtainable Head Enchant?

 

[glancealot]

negative.

 

[dtmaik]

Aww, just got the MoP Leather Helm for my Rogue :/

 

[Trendy]

So should I even bother 85 twinking? I have an 84 Spriest I was wanting to twink, but if gear is gone then it's not even worth it?

Can you still do arenas?

 

[Slim]

Is there any particular server where most 85's will be twinking at? Considering testing out an 85 dps shockadin

 

[glancealot]

i got all the BoE's on my paladin.

still need BoP bracers+necklate.

I'd suggest using a different meta. (432 mastery + movement speed would probably be better pure reduction than the dodge + block value one, since blocking isn't what paladins care about anymore)
