Gotcha. So if I have a bunch of +shadow damage gear, it might be better to make a 39 lock over an spriest?

Is shadow viable at all at 39?

Time to ask the hard questions: Are people actually going to do this? Let's say bracket A wins, but you wanted bracket B (or even C or D, but they didn't make it past the preliminary vote). Are you going to make a character to play in bracket A regardless? I ask because I don't think...

I see no reason to keep the poll open any further... @Knewbie, perhaps it’s now time to create a new thread with a single-vote option between the frontrunners so we can just pick a bracket and people who are interested can get started on their toons.

Disagree. One of the coolest things about 49 is that it’s where the other specs that just don’t hang in the lower brackets finally come into their own. Sure, fire and frost lack the consistent damage that comes from missile spam, but missile spam is a lot easier to heal through than a sudden 3k...

No, there isn’t. In 59s, the BIS piece will be the one that has three gem slots and a primary stat gem bonus pretty much across the board, with a few set pieces being a possible exception. At 49, let’s say I’m playing a mage. Let’s look at the head slot. If I’m looking for a balanced build with...

The issue with 59s is that you’re shoehorned into socket gear, whereas 49s allow for a much greater variety in gearing and approach. Further, you’re running only Azerothian dungeons at 49, while 59s require primarily BC content for gearing. Also, and I’ll admit that I could be mistaken about...

Who knows, maybe they'll get to DOTA 2 levels of AI--those OpenAI-powered bots were handling pro teams no sweat.

@jwl your old sig was way better.

I've never played 59s. /shrug

I've never heard of you and I've only ever heard of @jwl because of voluminous posting on this site. I am cool.

Wow, the hits just keep on coming! :D

TIL "to coward" is a verb. ThinkingFace

What, exactly, are you asking for?

I tried it a few weeks back on my 80 Paladin and it seems to be pretty much impossible at this point. If you manage to keep aggro, you're getting meleed for 15k, to say nothing of her special attacks. But keeping aggro is all but impossible with the amount of healing you need to stay alive...

As someone who plays 70s and 49s, may I offer the following? You can fully gear a 49 in several hours. With the item level boost to dungeon gear in 8.1.5, nearly all BIS pieces now come from dungeons. I was looking last night at my 49s and realized that most of the stuff I'd bought for my...

Yes, it's US, but nothing's stopping our pals across the pond from doing the same thing ;)

Plus 49s were super active during pre-patch and right after BFA dropped... a lot of us just did some other things for a while as we waited for the Ramm’s nerf haha. Now that it’s been brought in line, 49s should be about as balanced as the game gets, plus it has that nice vanilla feel.

@dbsprite FYI

I would say no to 39s, because there honestly isn't that much special about the bracket to separate it from other brackets, and it's probably one of the worst to try to gear for. I say this as someone with six 39s. 49s is a great option because you have three talents and a PvP talent, an epic...
