Looks like the best PvP twinks will be max level for their bracket from now on then. Access to the higher rating/ilvl gear, the only benefit low level characters still have is being better for world PvP and for PvE.

So until the next expansion, 85's apart from a few quest items can get everything an 89 can get so they'll still probably be best for PvP.

WTF does that even mean?? We dont acces anything a lvl 89 would get??
We dont get the lvl 87 Skill?? we cant buy gear equant to lvl 89??? We are stuck with Suck 89 scale on our lvl 85 gears, which is HORRIBLE, if we could equip lvl 89 gear and aquire the lvl 87 skill it would actually do ALOT but we cant, we are stuck with suck scaling stats and as healer your spirit needs to regen for your lvl 89 Mana, which means as example lets take resto shamans will go WAY faster oom then ever before, since 3,6k spirit aint ENOUGH for a 250k mana pool???
 
After messing around in a non twinked 80-84 bg i didn't see any issue apart from hit/expertise, it was nice not one shotting people, no longer have to max out resilience since the gear gives pretty much fuck all dropped for 85%->55%, I don't get why there is all this moaning is it because you can no longer rely on jkoneshots anymore? and actually need an ounce of playing ability?

I actually somewhat agree with you Xipe, i know where you come from. And i also like that the intention is to make players last longer, and have bigger chances against those who actually wouldn't give you one. You know more equality, and more time to showoff how good you actually play/are against other players. To Bragg, isn't that rly what you want?

But then again, twinking is very individual, some players twink because they LIKE to jkoneshot people, and then there are those who twink, to max out one stat, just for the fun of it. Like an elemental shammy who wants to see how much mastery "Overload" he can get, just because he would like to see how many double lava bursts he can explode in other players faces. So you can't rly judge us all as the "ONE SHOT TWINKERS" imo, since we all probably aren't. But this patch definately made it fun, atleast for me to only lvl in BG's more time to showoff, more time to use your abilites, and nothing like " OMG FUCKING lvl 89's" or other top bracket lvl's :)

Don't get me wrong i agree with you, but i just want you to consider the other aspects of twinking for other players.
 
my confusion is why a 85 became a half disabled 89 wearing 85 only gear and without spells above 86? What's the background story underlying this scaling? what is the overwhelming power that compromises a lvl 85 adventurer's health condition when he enters a battleground to fight, instead of helping him.
secondly what is the purpose of this change. to nerf 70 80 85 twinks cuz they have too much resil/crit/haste/mastrey? I don't believe twinks can become blizz's major concern anyway... So this change should be intended to strengthen low level non twinks in a bracket so that a 80 with 20k hp can survive longer when facing a 84. However, for most low levels, the gain of stats from scaling is outdone by the loss, except for those who wear full BOA set and do NOT wear any other gear...
So my conclusion is that they are trying to promote boa heirloom~:cool:
 
So Xipe what are you saying? 80-84 leveling bgs are fine? Yeah but we're talking about xp-locked bgs arent we? what about those? My 80 warr resilience plumets which was my only counter versus geared 84s. Now they can still lolonehit me and i die even faster. YOur point?

I was once one those, but after 2 years going on 3 it gets quite stale one shotting people and then forcing people out of the bracket because they 1. cant afford to get bis 409's 2. farm over 30k honour in a dead bracket. since the pvp gear isn't a must now, from what i saw people might stick it out instead of just passing through.

since mop hit 84's have been able to shot 80's with or without this patch so there isn't much of a change their. even sitting at 93% resil on my shaman i was still getting one shot.

Well you use to much pvp gear, and with 93% resi you have around 33k hp or something.. Get around 75 - 80% and keep your hp on 55k + .

93% resi and 33k hp > 80% resi and 50k hp. The difference between 80% and 90% is a doubling in effective health.

Just what i think. Have tryed full Wrathfull gear with max possible resi, and I find it to be alot harder to keep myself at a good health %. + spliting it up with some MoP blues, you gain alot of other stats keeping you and others alive.
 
Splosion said:
Pretty sure the only MoP blue that gets you enough stats to be worth using is the weapon if you can use it. Everything else isn't worth it. I can already keep people high assuming they don't get 1shot.

Well good for you. Tho overall I do it much better with my set up :)
