Only once per day. Which isn't terrible but still kind of annoying.

Okay that’s better than I thought

It's a spell that is actually available at 29 https://www.wowhead.com/spell=168534/mastery-elemental-overload which is nuts. Not sure if 20s somehow have it or not.

[Chops]

I probably won't have time to log-in tonight... but I just wanted to remind folks to test everything that you can think-of: mechanics, portals, instances, vendors, communication, or any other random shit that pops-into your twisted minds!

You never know what Blizzard's tunnel-blind devs are gonna' accidentally-break when a new patch drops...

(You also might also want to update the OP and title @Chops, if we're gonna' make this a "live" discussion thread.)

 

[Chops]

Some things worth testing:

do higher ilvl, non scaling items (IE LFH, engineering goggles, etc) scale down to ilvl 33 when equipped by high level players using party sync? Do they lose stats if they do?

do lower ilvl items scale up to ilvl 33 if equipped by a high level toon using party sync? I cant think of any reason WHY we'd want to do this (maybe weird scaling on something like fang gloves?) but it'd be neat to know.

I got a quick question, Will xpoff-players be in the same bgs as the xpon-players now?

...also worth testing. What if an XpOff and XpOn are grouped-together when they queue? What if they're "syncing", as well?

I ment just by soloqueing

No. Why would that change?

I inadvertently tested this with Ashlander. I forgot my 39 warrior had xp turned off still and our arena que didnt pop until I turned it back on.

[Vassar]

I heard from some ppl that we're gonna end up playing with lvlers on all brackets, but I don't know really, would be nice tho.

Yes. Yes. Look at the topic screen, green lens scaled down to ilvl33 and stats are 9/13/6/6 instead of 13/20/9/9
