To build on what
@DeLindsay has already said about 101s:
- You get 2 champions in your Order Hall and a couple of missions (including 150 and 165 AP ones). You can use one as a combat ally in the world (haven't tested yet but they can level higher than you).
- Can use the new gems and they don't scale down from 150 (or 200 for Saber's Eye)
- Can use the new enchants but they do scale down (Ring/Cloak: 200->75, Neck: 300->113 mastery)
- We can use the 375 food (not sure on stats, the 300 food scales down to 113), new flasks (1300->489) and potions.
- You can still get VP from Mythic Dungeons at 101 to upgrade your HFC mythic items.
- Highest relic you can get from questing is a +10 epic proc which you have 6 chances to get (1 green and 5 blues). The blues are +7, same as the dungeon drops (until WF is confirmed, in which case it would be +9).
As a tank I'm doing about 140k sustained single-target DPS (much higher aoe/burst) which has put me near the top in the 2 HFC mythic pugs I've done so far. Survival is ridiculous as blood with nearly 2mil hp unbuffed xD
