90 Twinking

Yep, looking forward to seeing what the 90-99 bracket looks like. I'm concerned that with scaling in BGs and arenas, it's entirely possible that PvE 90 gear (Heroic SoO and the soon-to-be grandfathered legendary cape) will be BiS.

The cape doesn't proc on players. It will never be bis for instanced pvp.
 
How can an iLevel 616 cloak, or even a non-upgraded 600 cloak, never be BiS? Three secondary stats plus a gem socket, compared to two secondary stats of even the epic cloaks at higher levels?

Umm...for the exact same reason it's not bis at 90 right now?

I guess it would become bis at 90 if ilvl doesnt scale down in WoD. Which, might actually be the case now that I think of it. Why would they scale down ilvl in a 90-99 bg?

Can someone hop on the PTR to see if ilvl from raiding is dropping in bg's? Im at work presently.

Ah, I get where you're coming from now. I figured ilvl limitations would indeed lift in WoD, making something like this...


...the way to go for gearing in 90-99. All heroic warforged gear, plus maybe some tier pieces. Though I would replace the trinkets with the two battlemasters trinkets for the 10% damage reduction.
 
Any reason you guys completely disgard the fact that theres a big posibility for new BoE's like there is in the 85 scene now? I mean, it's very likely there'll be something like ilvl 600+ level 90 gear

There's already a lot of WoD BoEs but they have a level requirement of 91, which I think they did on purpose after seeing what happened with the MoP BoEs.
