EU+US Question regarding PvP for level 80's

Arubix

Grandfathered
Hi XPOff,

I'm new to this community but not to twinking. I've been doing some research on making a twink before diving into another one. Since PvP is so reliant on item level, I see how making a 70 twink wouldn't be ideal being that the base item level (147) and the possible ilvl you can get from gear is not a big of a gap as a twink 80.

I think the base item level for 80's is 187 (Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm just getting that number from heirloom gear) and after looking at some armory links for 80 twinks (~346) I'm wondering how they aren't gods in BG's... or am I missing something?

Here are some that I've seen posted on other threads:

Been away for a bit but the item level {was} is based on the Heirloom gear on the 9, so an 89 in this case, not the 0.

346 ilevel on an 80 would scale to template value in the 80 -89 bracket, I'd hazard a guess ( and it is a guess ) the ilevel is about 440 ish at 89, so your 80 would be at base template values. In the 60 -69 brackets 60's are competitive enough. If you are looking for an ilevel advantage you need to know what the template value is, you might struggle to gain much of an advantage over template.

Play a 79 if you want to build a toon with a big ilevel advantage ( Cata gear is 308 for blues and 283 for greens, template is 187 ( possibly 178 ))

Thanks for the info, Gixxer! It's exactly what I was looking for.

I think I might try out a 79 and see how it goes. Do you have any vids of your lock in BG's?
