US 49s blew up like nagasaki

[Stale]

Yeah none of the bonus sets are active, despite them saying they're active.

My guess is that this is inteded and we won't see any bonus sets. Scarlet, Bloodmail, Deathbone all doesn't work.

The last beta build had a bunch of changes on low level sets (scaled them down slightly for the most part), so there might be a small chance they get fixed eventually.

 

[Blueballuh]

The Green Dragonscale set bonus isn't working on the PTR. My character sheet says the bonus is activated, but my versatility rating doesn't reflect the addition.

That's because they were overtuned and way to strong. They lowered the values now so hopefully we'll see them coming back into effect soon.

 

[Stale]

I don't know they weren't THAT strong, like 10% Versatility.

 

[Druiddroid]

There are no balance issues in the 49 bracket currently. People will lose in duels classes they are COUNTERED by and complain of imbalance. I lose 90% of the time to good priests as demo because it counters my class. Doesn't mean they are overtuned or broken.

Sounds dope, like old 39s. It’s fun playing in a relatively balanced bracket.

I don't know they weren't THAT strong, like 10% Versatility.

The Green Dragonscale set has over 7% versatility as a set bonus on the PTR, plus the near-BiS stats of the gear itself. That works out to equal about +23 INT plus the 3.5% damage reduction. We get the equivalent of more than four pieces of gear by donning these three pieces. That feels like a lot to me.

I'd be surprised if the set bonus goes live, but the set bonus for non-crafted sets are scaling, which implies Blizzard is at least paying attention to set bonuses.

 

[Stale]

The set bonuses are inactive on the beta and i assume the beta is ahead of the PTR.

Lookee what I found on a (clearly) very old 59...

Zandalarian shoulder enchant

...and no indication that it would bind a BoE!

 

[Stale]

Doesn't mean it can't. Copy it over to the beta a few times so we can test it

 

[DexaQT]

For all the h8rs @Mvq & others. Bracket is popping AND I'd encourage any 49 guilds on ally to take screenshots of your guilds and/or premade groups and post them in here! BG scores/game descriptions/etc.

`good job on farming a ring that gets suffix butchered tho

Yeah rip 40 hours of my life.. i did manage to get 5 rings so i have decent odds of getting the suffix i want. Also, they will likely still be bis as they have the exact same secondary stats and other dungeon rings on beta + 7agil. Soo should be bis for agility users and the fire opal neck should be bis for str users.

 

[toskosa]

Kinda glad I didn't spend my entire spring and a good chunk of summer farming the affix pieces lol.

More important is to buy the BoE epics now you can. Stack a guild bank full of them.

Only if they're properly scaled, though, right...?

 

[raziel83]

So I just got Malown's slam http://www.wowhead.com/item=13393/malowns-slam on my fury war only to discover that the surge of strength proc is bugged and doesn't actually give any strength (on beta, didn't try live). Submitted a bug report on beta but doubt it'll do anything. The stun works but without the str it's meh :<

Those are the most important ones, but for example a 49 (old) epic is still ilvl 55, instead of ilvl 50.
