5.2

[Srs]

I'm willing to roll the dice.

I wonder if you get 24 level gear ie gnomer drops on your 20 if you would be able to wear them when u r in a bg scaled to 24?

 

[Goesid]

Its only ur effective lvl that gets raised.

 

[Burningherbs]

Disappointed to find out blood pact will be gone..really don't see the point of imps now

 

[Kibbies]

i agree^ i guess ill be using void all the time now for that disarm :l i wish it was still left in, now everyone is going to depend on 24 priests for fort /sigh

I'm wondering if this will greatly reduce the xp locked 24s. I would expect the good ones to hang around but the bads will be brutalized.

so they'll all be gone then?

i c wut u did there ;D

I'm sure a good many will, but if anything the bracket will be more fun. So they probably won't leave altogether. Maybe they'll unsub and reroll as f2p since the gap won't be as wide. Perhaps they'll use all their new-found extra cash to buy meth. Of course it's just a matter of time before they will have to take up giving hjs at the mall to support their new meth habit. Most likely they'll bounce around from rehab to rehab until they end up on the street or in jail. And it's just a downward spiral from there.

That sure's a slippery slope. Man things sure aren't looking good for 24s in 5.2. :/

It will greatly reduce the number of 24 who just wanted to have a massive advantage against f2p,

like 24 rogues who only embush with the berzerk buff & spend 90% of the bg in furtive mode or 24 priests.

MoP release eliminated almost all of the Cata Hunters. I expect 5.2 to exterminate most 24's by this logic. The game won't be ''fun'' anymore for bad people who get on equal ground with people who do have skill.

There's still no armour on the BoA shields but I can't see that going live. Even a level 1 shield has armour.

Not bad, but i will take Shield Against the Evil Presence.

When we get scaled to 24, you might want the hierloom shield.

I'd agree with you if it was Dodge like the Burnished BOA's but you can Parry even when people are behind you. I'd take anything with the slightest parry over a +1-2 stat difference. If I were tanking, just to clarify.

5.2 has my hope up for being one of blizz's better patches. I am curious to see how this will affect 70 and 80 twinks although, as at those levels geared players can already own 74s and 84s.

You do get parry from strength though. BFD Shield is 12 AP, 6 stam, 0.54% parry. BoA Shield is 8 AP, 6 stam, 0.835% parry. Really comes down to the armor and if BoA's scale with our effective level in BGs.

Scaled to 24 nothing more.You f2p don't get anything else. You will now be able to hit more..... and you need yo gear like a 24 that's pretty much it. You don't actually become 24 with the full definition of being a 24.
