70s in BfA

[Knewbie]

Totally Knewb question for you:
Pretend I have a bis 69...if I level to 70, how well will my gear scale up in BGs?
For example, would my hunter (in signature) be at all viable, or...?

(LOL I forgot I transmogged my gear to look like hierlooms the other day, so people would be less likely to inspect and vote-kick me for being a twink before a, xp-on game started...didn't work, though, as I waited 45 minutes and had to log before I ever got into one; I promise I'm not always this ugly!)

It would hold up fairly well because most of those items are items you could consider using as a lvl70 regardless, you'd just be lacking stat points here and there on some of them because of the lower ilvl. The trinkets would definitely need replacing, as would the cloak.

Incendiary Ammo heirloom is almost as good as Thori'dal so that works out as well.

Generally speaking you're losing 1 mainstat and 1 secondary stat per item slot, so it's really not -that- big a deal to not replace the blue items for their epic counterparts (+9 ilvls for most of them)

so with Cata Engineer req 78,
View attachment 8298
the 70's with it have GF proffesion but that also means only 1 chance at the right tinkers.
on my mage I got the heal and card board poo ninja.

my preist I still gotta finish, any1 get lucky and score 2 good tinkers, shield and heal or invisibility?
tip - go gnome for 15 extra levels.

Is it safe to learn them on my 70 twink now? He has cata engineering 1/75

if you are asking if you can learn cata tinkers by leveling your cata eng, the answer to my knowledge is no. I leveled my cata eng on 7 70s since the patch that changed proffs and had not recieved one extra tinker. Although most of them already had ,most of the cata tinkers before hand. It seems only at 78 can they be learned now since i know they are learned by 79 twinks

Out of curiosity does part of the patch notes open up possibility for new tinkers again? Don't have any 70s with cata eng to check myself
