A small amount leveled their old 60/70 to 29 for the new gear and abilities/talents/whatnot. Some are very strong.
Not because of being lv29, though. The only strong ones I've seen are destro locks or hunters and that's solely because of their class, so let's not misrepresent what's really goin' on.
Destro already got a massive damage nerf on BETA, hoping that hunters will follow suit.
all-in-all, 25s and 27s can compete very easily with 29s. Personally every bg that I'm in I've been destroying 29s with the exception of the occasional Warlock one-shotting me but as I sad -- That's an issue of spell tuning, not "29s are OP", because my own lv25 lock can crit for 3-4k as well with relative ease.
replacing it with BoE greens would give better performance
Also don't fall for this trap. While ilv33 BoE's are bis in some slots, most slots' bis are socket pieces from TBC/Wotlk or Crafted.
Personally, I don't use any ilv33 BoE's at all. If I did, at best I'd gain perhaps.. 3 crit rating and 3 haste rating, which at the percentages I'm at wouldn't even give me 0.5% in either.
But yeah... you wont be hacking up fodder like the old days.
Depends on your class and spec, really. Warlocks will, Hunters will, and even I can two-shot people as Arms depending on my target.
and in all honesty, you're probably gonna get jacked up a lot. Even by the well-geared free 20's.
I do suggest you stick to your class's intended role. Rogues aren't going around one-shotting people. They're more focused around CC.
[doublepost=1663300282,1663299501][/doublepost]To elaborate further on the Ilv33 items: A full set is only best-in-slot if you want a full set of Tertiary stats (Speed or Leech), if you don't then it's a net-loss on primary stats. On secondary as well if you don't gem double primary like I do (2 stam 2 str).
Rogue's would lose out on a lot of agility and crit if you go full Ilv33 due to all of the missing gemslots. (you miss 10 gemslots, aka 20 agi / 20 in a secondary if you go full ilv33, plus the +13/+11 Crit rating socket bonus from TBC set bonus and +12 crit rating from Meta Gem, not to mention all the possible socket bonuses you lose out on. All-in-All, you lose stats with full Ilv33 BoE gear).
